If they are in good to great shape, the price is pretty reasonable.
My concern would be over eventual vinyl pull. Does anyone know if that issue was limited to certain years of the C5 production run or did the problem occur throughout the entire run? I'm wondering if GM changed process or materials (adhesive) during the C5 production run making certain years more prone to the problem.

Looks like some very nice door panels. Would have gone great in my pewter car since I went with a mod red theme in the interior of it.
And as far as I know, the tendency for the vinyl to pull in the arm rest area can happen to any year of the C5.
