Default Leather wrapped door panels

I saw them on the auction site and was wondering if anyone in this forum got your door panels done by Caravaggio?? Caravaggio's work is pretty expensive. Any comments?

They are all expensive. They have to do this by hand and it's time consuming. this type of thing is for those who have the extra money, or for those who save up the money specifically for this purpose.

It really looks nice when they're finished though. But no I have no experience with them.

Yes the panels are expensive but if it is from Caravaggio, you can bet it is a quality product. There are other options out there and they may be less expensive: check out forum vendors Double D Mods and APSIS and maybe even DSVettes.

This is probably the best possible way to get Caravaggio products. I hear the wait is interminable if you order them straight-up from the source.

Love the look of Dennis' panels, and the Caravaggio ones as well... Wish I could justify the cost to have it done, but I guess I'll just have to wait for a used set to come up!

Dennis, what would it cost to have just the top portion of the doors on my c5z done? Black leather, red stitch... The car has mod red interior so I wouldn't be worried about the lower sections
