does anyone know where to get new door panels at a resonable price

 

I've seen leather ones but they're pretty pricy. Nextgen has some, but there only the early style if I remember right. You could always recover them yourself, that'd be the cheapest way, and you could get the exact color you want. <a href="https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/doorpanel.shtml">Here's the Tech. Article for it.</a>

 

well the backing on them is warped pretty bad that is why i need new ones

 

I just looked and thridgen resource has new ones for $195 and used ones for $75. I bought some recovered ones from thirdgenparts.com off of eBay, you might look there. I guess you could also check the bone-yards and see if there are any fresh arivals there, any old ones will be long-since destroyed by the rain. Good luck to you.

Oh, i just checked eBay for you, none on there right now, but they come on every couple of weeks so check back in awhile or email Thirdgenparts and see if they have any decent ones there.

 

The warped backing can be made from anything. It's just flat pressed paper. You can use abs plastic, or find more of the similar flat pressed crap.

do you think if i took my ugly red door panel to an upholstery shop they could re-do mine? I have the grey handle/armrest thing so if it could be done that would look good.

Any decent upholstry shop could recover a panel for you, the process is not all that difficult after you get the panel off--just time consuming. And you could get custom work done if willing to pay the price. For anyone looking for new panels, I know www.mrmikes.com has them new in leather for $300 per pair.
