Default Doing door panel replacement mod!
this is my first time doing something like this. I bought the materials long ago but I never had the time to work on it. so far i am very satisfied with it. sorry for the crappy cellphone pics but it looks way better in person. I'm gonna take everything apart again and cover the rest of the door panel in black or some sort of charcoal grey to mach it with the factory color but I am a little afraid about that part next to the arm rest. it looks difficult.





any advice would be welcome!!!
and thanks to the guys who made some write ups and post'em on the forum. it was very helpfull!

Looks nice I might be interested in doing this... What materials did you need to this? Any links to the write ups you used? Nice doors look sweet.

Looks decent for now. Need more pics of the finished product though to say weather they look good or not really.

1 more thing is done. the material looks lighter than it shows here. This was my first attempt and I'm not very satisfied with it so I'm gonna do it again. The rest of the arm rest will have the same color so do the rest of the panel. I'm not sure what to do with the speaker area . I'm also thinking about taking that fake carbon sticker off. what do you think?

my first attempt doing the other half of the arm rest . It came out like crap so I'm gonna think in some others ways to get it right and redo it.





The rest of the arm rest will be red just like the drivers door panel that is almost complete!
