Default Door panel skins?

Anyone use these?



Vastly cheaper than replacing the entire panel but is it worth what could be a lot of hassle (for my interior guy...).

I've read about how its done with metal. It looked really labor intensive with cuting off the old skin, alignment and forming and folding the lip over the frame. Not really hard with the right tools but in taking a lot of time. I never tried it myself. I never saw or read anythign about doing this with fiberglass.

Look good in my restoration books, look like crap on some used door panels that I picked up.

I don't think they are quite as good or easy as marketed. I'd suggest used panels instead.
