not feeling the door panels..

seems like the stitching is in an odd spot, doesnt look right would look nice no stitching at all

shift boot looks good! and the arm rest must be a lot more comfortable

Any pics during the install? Was it pretty much the same as doing the camaro inserts? (having to staple the fabric to the cardboard, etc)

I hot glued the tabs and sprayed the board and the material with the heavy duty 3m 90 . A few others recommended it so that's what I used . I don't recommend it . It seemed to come up on the edges

I had some on my camera but someone stole my backpack out of my car that had my camera and laptop in it last week . I was supposed to do a write up for redline on it but I totally failed . So I got some installed pics this morning with my phone . I just used the write up on this forum .
My advice it to leave as much of the tab as possible that is holding on the cardboard backing . I cut mine off and had a hard time reattaching the panel

You're talking about the little plastic tabs? So the installation is pretty straight forward like the Camaro install thread.

Sucks about your camera and laptop bro!

Everyone has the leather I wanted something different. Yeah I had a bunch of pics and was working on an install thread. And then my bag was stolen . Yeah the tabs are just melted plastic from the factory . I saved my tabs and glued some of them back on . And I used sheet metal screws on the white tabs

^Cool thanks man. Was the adhesive really needed for install? The camaro guy didn't need to use it.

EDIT: Saw your URL thread post right after this.

On the doors? No, not really. They are smaller than the switch plate holes. They'll look funny. Plus the side mirror adjuster is totally different.
