johnloves850's Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 here are a couple crappy cell phone pics2 mega pixel shine lolit was pretty easy, very time consuming howeverif the buttons (or however your door inserts fasten) don't match up:you just take off the old leather, that's connected by staplesthen take off the leather on the new insert, and attach to the old inserti used staples, but you have to staple them at a weird angle so you don't puncture the leathereven if you do, it's not noticeableif the buttons match up, then you're goldeni also got clear corners for $8 from a jy so it's a gold mine if you can filter through half the crapthis cost me about $10hope that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnloves850's Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 oh hahahwhen you said the "inner" door panel i thought that's what you meant lolnow reading that over again, i see what you meantbut yea the car i got the inserts off of had a perfect interiorthe seats were absolutely immaculate, i only had about $40 on me so i just got these inserts, the clear corners, and a bunch of trim and plastic rivets or whatever they're calledi'm sure if you go to a jy you can find some good 850'sgood luck, and sorry about the confusion lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 thanks but i was talking about the actual door panel not the insert Given the shapes and the material used, I had been told by an upholstery shop in FL that it would not be under $200/panel. Not sure if those prices were inflated to run me off or not.One thing that works very well is to fill the holes and marks in the door panels with compound or even caulk and to then paint them with Vinyl paint. I tried it on some trashed panels and it held up fine. The paint is about $13/can. One can does 3 panels. Just make sure you use paintable caulk.[/turbobricks 'upgrade'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
