New Door Panel question

I am getting ready to redo my interior and want to put in some new door panels, but when i went to Hawks I found a lot of options, but no pictures to compare them to.

To make this easier rather than to ask for pictures of all of them, I will just tell you what I want.

I am doing an all black interior, nothing fancy, just all black and plain looking. Now, which interior door panel would work best with this setup? I want it to look good.

Madrid velour, regal velour, encore velour, vinyl. It would bne nice if I knew what they all looked like.

Here is a picture of a seat cover in the ENCORE VELOUR. I bought them from Hawks:

The REGAL VELOUR has a check-pattern, one lighter shade/one darker. You probably just want the ENCORE in black.

You can give Bruce a call at Hawk's. that's what I did. I got my dp's and seat covers from Bruce. I didn't really understand all the options on the site either so I called...he was VERY helpful and I'm 100% satisfied.

I went through the same thing when I changed colors on my Formula from grey to black. I looked everywhere for a set of door panels and even the ones available from Hawks and Thirdgen Resource didn't cut it with me. I went out and made my own panels and I love them and have received many compliments on them. Very plain and simple,I even left off the carpeted section at the cupholder since I've never been a fan of it. I'll try and post a pic but it may be too large. Email me and I can send them to you.
