Default Door panels

Hey guys, I sold my C5 last week and I have a set of door panels I removed from it because of the vinyl coming loose. I was going to post them for sale but don't want to embarrass myself. Are these even worth anything to someone or just chunk in the dumpster? Thanks for any info.

I'm sure they have some type of core value as many of the interior vendors take older cores and use them to apply new leather and/or vinyl.

The speaker grills are also worth something as well as the door handle pulls, reflectors and control buttons.

They do cost alot $$$ to ship so in order to make a pofit, you should pursue a local sale.

Hey thanks for the info, I never thought about all that other stuff you mentioned. Now all I need to do is come up with a price.

Thanks again

Check with someone like Dennis at Double D Mods. He recovers the panels in leather and may be interested in some cores.

I'd like to have one just to see how hard it is to recover it. Mine have the vinyl pulled away and I'd rather have one to practice with than learn with mine.
