Aluminum Door Panels
Just wanted to show them off and give a testimony of these door panels from Big Wig Race Cars.
Absolutely love them. Minor fitting required but the craftsmanship on them is great. Not a scratch on them out of the box (which was packaged well)
They are as cheap or cheaper than vinyl repros and have a lower surface temp than (Black) vinyl panels in the sun.

Not what I would want for my car, but for the right car, they look pretty badass.

Those look really nicely built and the fit look perfect.
If I wasn’t going with an all oem interior I would consider them.
I would imagine they could be powder coated in any color to match the interior color.

Not what I would call luxurious. Complete lack of arm rest.
Ya / No.

Skulls aren't my thing, but I have always liked competition-styed interiors, especially if the rest of the car is hot rodded.

That's Jake, but with the C6.R eyes. For the cost of those panels, I'm surprised they didn't make a version with C3 crossflag eyes.

I like them minus the skulls. Looks like they add some shoulder room too. They fit tighter than my new repros. Would be easy to cover them if one wanted.
