Door Panel Conversion Ok! Anybody have any tips or instructions for converting the door panels on my 99 camaro from the original door panels to some T/A door panels. I'm redoing my interior and think they would look killer in my car. But I don't want to get into it without at least having some idea of what I'm doing since there is cutting involved. Any tips you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. Anybody else done this? Have pics after install? Thanks again!

Im about to do this. I took mine off and reapolstered them myself and looked shitty, so Im buying whatever dark colored door panels I can find. As far as I know there is no cutting. what would you have to cut?? The door panels are just held on with tabs and 3 screws in the door handle. Very easy...
I'm not sure about what is involved with the wiring for the most part it should be hard to modify if you do have to. You do have to cut one of the protruding mounting tabs on your door though because the door panel will not sit flush if you don't. It's around the armrest area you will be able to find out which one it is real quick.
Here is what the Firebird dash and door panels looks like in a Camaro.

Here's a walk-through I put together when I did the swap myself.
