to my knowledge no one reproduces the entire door panel, but one of the sponsors here does make leather inserts to cover the fabric ones if thats what your talking about.

A few members have taken their existing door panels apart and reupholstered them with great results. I've seen a few write ups on here

And a few of us have some good quality ones for sale.

I have a pair of Gray leather and a pair of black cloth ones.

Both are for Camaro.

Where are you located?

fix the cracks and wrap the whole panel with leather or vinyl, there are threads on fixing the cracks, plus as you start to leather wrap things the interior will start looking way nicer and will sadly probably be cheaper then paying what people want for used ones.

Well I thought about either leather or fiberglass and painted matte black. Im gonna have my seats redone with leather and suede so I could do leather with suede inserts on the door panels. Ill have to try to find the repair threads for the cracks. Good info thanks guys!!!!

No one is currently making these. They are molded plastic and the R&D to make a machine to produce the molded panel is alot of money! So at the moment no one has ponied up to make one.Try good used ones or fix and wrap your own. I would look for good used ones fbody warehouse??

I truly hope someone steps up and creates a reproduction set of door panels of great quality. The demand has to be incredible. I constantly search for a nice set of ebony and only find overly priced panels of iffy quality with full blown cracks or the start of them.

I deal with interior kits all the time and know all the big manufactures and I can tell you ...it is not going to happen for awhile.
