Default 76 door panel

American Corvette has door panels $400. Door skins $79. Appreciate any pros or cons on the skins.

Spend the money on the panels...quick easy and painless

YEARS ago I installed a set of skins.. Royal PIA to say the least even in the heat of summer ... I would have needed a blow torch in the winter to get them fitting and tight

The end result, while good, was not worth the considerable effort"I" had to exert

Do a SEARCH on "door panels skins". There have been a couple of extensive threads on this topic in the last few weeks. The info is all there.

And, I agree... buy the 'basic' panels and swap over the hardware from your old ones.
