Function > Form. They can be powdercoated, wrapped, spray painted, body shop/paint matched, burned, or any other method of coloring/discoloring of metal.

These are to finish out the interior instead of having a gaping hole in the door where you tore the panel off. The focus is to have a more finished look in a track car where you would also benefit from the weight loss in disposing of the speaker, wiring, and possibly even replacing the window w/ lexan or the like. There is also, obviously, an option for those who want to keep the speakers. The door panels are already plastic, and thin at that, so there isn't necessarily much left on the table piece vs piece, but the accumulation w/ the assumed direction of the build process nets more total reduction.
