Default Door panels?

Does anybody know how (if possible) to remove the lower part of the door panel?

I don't believe this is easily accomplished. The door panels are one piece, though it looks like it's two. It makes more sense when you see the back of the panel.

I have some black door panels lying around; when I get home I can take some pictures of the back sides for you so you can see what's going on, if you'd like. Or do you already have the door panel off?

Door panel is off. It looks like they can be seperated. My int. is blk, another member has gray, we want to switch our lower pieces for a two-tone look.

Ah, I get it. Well, looking at the back of my extra panels, I'd be surprised if it's possible. It does look like it was two pieces to begin with; but on my panels, the plastic plugs near the joint appear to be melted/fused together in such a way that it can't be undone. I don't think I can be much help, but if you can figure this out I'd love to hear how you did it!
