Anyone got door panels from hawksthirdgenparts.com?

I was just curious as to the quality and fit of these door panels. If anyone's bought a set from him, please respond. They look pretty decent in the pictures and have lots of color choices. The prices don't seem to bad, either.

That looks like a lot of money for such plain door panels. You could build those yourself in a couple hours with $50 worth of materials. Trace your door panels to any flat board/aluminum/wood, cut it out with a skill saw, glue some padding down, then glue the tweed down. Attach the window trim and you're done.

But, if you think $150 is worth the money, then by all means give them a try. They're easy enough to make that unless those guys are idiots, I'm willing to bet that you'll get a quality product.

They look real nice. I was over at Bruce's house when they were just starting to make them. I think it's quite a bit of money too, but if you don't want to mess with it, and you want a custom look, that is the way to go. They are very nice BTW.
