Does anyone make a flat, blank interior door panel, like something that will allow greater interior clearance for a wider seat? I found this vendor that makes nice looking panels, but they don't make anything for the C5: https://lrbspeed.com/shop/
Flat door panels have been hand made for nigh on to forever. All we need is an original panel for a template and a sheet of Masonite. Anyone have spare panels around?
A good local interior shop should be able to handle this. I've never seen any for the C5 either. For $300, that's not a bad start to just buy them from Lrbspeed, and have a local fabricator rework them for you C5. Call them, they may have some scratch & dent. Or they could be close enough to you that they'd want to partner with you to build some.
NASA has now come up with the Corvette Cup Spec Racing Series for 2025 to include C5 & C6 platforms. So there may be some new business coming around, albeit most of us with full cage race cars have gutted doors. https://drivenasa.com/road-racing/corvette-cup/
Bit late to this thread, but I'm in the same boat. LRB mentioned that they were working on C5 panels, but that was last year and not a word since then despite people expressing interest. Someone in one of the Facebook groups made their own aluminum panels and adapted aftermarket switches to the factory wiring. Looks pretty good.

Yea probably some kind of wrap. Here's the post on Trackable Corvettes where this came up: https://www.facebook.com/groups/297632431532883/?multi_permalinks=1295094518453331&hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen
