this what he just told me :
They are made from .040 aluminum sheeting and are flanged for added strength. Built for easy installation with minimal to no trimming. Available in Gloss Black & Natural Finish. Also available with manual window crank, power window and door openings at no extra charge.

they are 60 with 19 shipping. so 79.00 shipped. i paid 60 shipped when he had a sale.

Have you tried contacting him?
I emailed the guy who was making them about a month ago and he said he still has some unfortunately lost a job at the time so I could not purchase any

i made mine out of coroplast covered with some black checkerboard material that was on clearance at Wal Mart with some clearance fleece blanket material (with a giant cat head printed on it...) to make my door panels... i used some cheap self tapping screws to hold them onto the doors.. they weigh almost nothing and actually look and feel pretty damn good.. i even made some map pockets...

Love this idea and planning to do the same to my IROC with aluminum. I'll likely reuse the OEM latch assembly, but have never been that impressed with the armrest/door grab so want to find another solution for that. Perhaps some aluminum tube bent to match the shape of the OEM piece with some rollbar padding in the right spot for an arm rest.
