I am debating making custom door panel inserts for firebirds/trans ams. These would be direct replacement panels. would only need to melt tabs in back, remove the stock insert, put new one in and plastic weld tabs.

they could be ordered in any color/material/pattern/custom options.

I am guessing these will cost around $150 right now.

so please leave a post letting me know if you would be interested or if you have some advice/requests feel free to let me know.

(If there is enough demand I will become a sponser)

You can gauge interest but do not solicit these things unless you are a sponsor. It's a fair warning. The admins are not easy going about this sort of thing.

Perhaps if you could show a pic you might get a little more attention. Not saying that people don't know what you mean, but it's like me saying I blacked out my tail lights and not putting up pics, you know?

i'd definitely be interested in something like that down the road. it would be cool to see it done in some unique materials. i always thought houndstooth would be pretty cool.

What is this crap about you not being able to trust me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have your car, haha.

On a more serious note, I have seen 95greenbirds work in person and it is top notch. I will be getting my seats and door panels done soon and I will make sure to post up the pics.

there is a pic of one I did for a camaro.

I am just seeing how many people would be into the idea of having swapable door panel inserts so I can see if it would be worth it for me to become a sponsor.

l can get many different materials (carbon fiber in many colors, houndstooth in different colors. gator, ostrich, snake, and a bunch of unique patterned vinyls. I can also have anything embroidered in the panels.

this would be a great way to add a lot! of character to your interior and it would be fairly easy to do.

Im interested, would like some SOM leather panels to go with my outside paint. Would you be willing to do some custom seat covers on the side?
