Default int passenger side door panel replacement

after searching on ebay and other sources for two months, I finally got a near perfect panel on ebay for only 52 dollars and 25 for shipping. I felt very fortunate since I had seen other examples for more money that weren't as good as this one. I bought an auto upholstery tool set from Northern Freight and then contemplated whether or not I wanted to tackle this myself. I didn't want to break plastic connectors or scratch anything. I made the attempt this morning and Im happy to report that it only took me about 40 minutes to do the job! I didn't break or scratch anything and Im really happy with the results! Now I don't have to look at that ugly cut in the black part of the panel anymore. YAY! Bruce
