Besides its ugly as all hell? Well that and it is a C5 West product which usually means it won't fit without 20 hours of extra labor costs.

I was only interested in the door panels. My door panels are practically destroyed and I need some new ones. Thought maybe I could get just those panels for less that the cost of OEM. thank you for the heads up about C5 west! I had never even heard of them.

If you need door panels you can always try your local salvage yard, or 20th St. Auto in Phoenix. 20th St. specializes in Vetts and Porsches.
