Kick panels

Im doing a black interior swap and im all done, but all i need before completion is the side kick panels in black. i have looked all over the internet and all i found is a site that sells just the passanger side kick panel. and i dont want to go to a Junk yard, I was wondering if anybody knew a site that sold them or if anybody has some clean ones for sale?

thanks

Hit up thirdgenusa.com. Dave (the owner) is a really nice guy. If they're not listed on the site shoot him off an e-mail and he will find a set for you. I've bought numerious things from him and they always come in amazing shape.

If you can't find a nice set in black, buy any other color and paint them. Black is the easiest to match. I use SEM vinyl paint and it looks fantastic. As long as you prep the panel properly it will adhere very well.



Nevermind the obvious modifications, but pay attention to the plastic section that's still stock. These kicks were Beechwood before I painted them, and now they look like brand new black kicks. These were done with the SEM paint.

those look clean, but is there really enough room to fit a speaker behind one of those?

Of course there's room. I didn't build them without checking first! Check out some of our kick panel discussions in the car audio board if you're interrested. I've gone into depth on the pros and cons of kick panel speaker locations.
