Nice job on both sets! I think the grain in the top two looks more uniform. I prefer that set.
Very nice job.

BUT, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, THESE ARE APPEARANCE ITEMS!!!!!
At least figuring all this out keeps us off the streets!

I agree. I for one no longer buy the after market parts unless there is no choice. Learned that lesson very early on and it was an expensive learning experience.

Unfortunately there are some parts that are only available as after market like carpet for example. In general the interior parts seem to be the worst IMHO.

Well it took awhile (I got sidetracked but that's hardly surprising anymore)

I'm actually fairly happy with the end result and only had to repaint the chrome piece once

The color is a little darker than the image (flash)

Yet another job that should have been an easy stick-on application back in Sept. but at least it's done and another thing's off the list

Closing off an unnecessarily long thread, They're finally it's back on (and hopefully it stays there for now at least but the kick panels are coming back out again)

I'd like to replace the drivers door panel.
I'm afraid what might arrive in a box.

That's why I cussed and kicked the can and went ahead and sprang for the deluxe door panels with all the trim already installed. They fit fine, but at over 400 bucks for EACH side, they damn well better fit. After all, my car is a C3, NOT a Lamborghini

Nice Job Mooser! They look fantastic. I have to replace my door panels next but they are the base with no wood so hopefully they will go on with little problems.
