I've always wondered if there was a way to add the red or dye the bottom part red.

Question on mod red door panels
I've found a few panels from wreckers, but all have some damage on the top grey part of the door, but are perfect in the red part.
Does the red part separate from the grey part? Are they one molded piece?
I'd like to use my perfect grey part and add the red parts from the wrecker.

How do you deal with the speaker grill???
Does anyone have pictures where they have used dye to create a mod red interior (bottom of doors and glove box/under steering wheel)??
I'd like to have an idea of how the dye looks.

I did a Mod Firethorn Red in my '99 a few years back. I have some pics I can post, but not until I get back from my current trip in a couple days. They turned out great and no one ever knew I didn't replace the panels. I even used the rattle can dye, not a professional spray gun. And the grill pop right out for a better overall application process. Really no need to separate the panels unless you are doing a custom install like willfulone.

So the dye even works on the fabric grill? I'd love to see pics. I think I'm going to give this a try. Worst case is I wreck them and buy the mod red interior pieces like I was going to do anyway. Best case is it saves me $600.

Here's my old '99... man I miss that car!!!
Dyed door panels and bolsters
Installed in the car - you can see the dyed panels are no different in color than the seats, which were not dyed.
Other angle
Sorry I don't have any close-ups of the panels or the process I went through to dye them - those were lost in another old computer. It wasn't hard, that's for sure. If you have any doubts, find an old panel that's damaged and practice!
