Default Door panel replacements

Been looking for a couple days online, and I can't find a single place to get door panels for my T/A. I'm assuming they're discontinued from GM and no one makes replacements, right? Not going to ebay used ones, I'll just plastic weld mine and repaint them if I have to.

No one makes aftermarket panels to my knowledge. you can find several for sale in the classifieds section. if you are just trying to fix the notorious crack in the top of the panels, here is a link to a how to:

Even if I repaired the crack, it's discolored the plastic to the point where I'd still have to repaint the doors for it not to be glaringly visible. The tops of the panels along the window felt is discolored white from getting old, too.

I'm about to gut the interior to clean everything and put some sound dampening in, so if I have to repair and repaint the door panels, I might as well repaint all the plastic something other than boring gray.

If your not willing to buy used, you will have to repair yours . The door panels are not sold anymore by anyone and theres no aftermarket alternative .

I picked up a set of new ebony leather camaro panels off ebay last year, just have to be patient.

Have you considered repairing the crack, then wrapping the outside plastic in a vinyl/leather material? It will now only look better than stock, but if you don't get the fix just right, no one will ever see it.

Hadn't thought about that, but I'm not too great at that sort of thing (and picky about it not looking good).
