vinyl door panels

which style do you prefer? I am torn between the two styles of door panels for my Z28....

I have seen the ones that are solid vinyl with straight up and down slots, and the newer style with carpet at the bottom with the diagnal slots......

Re: vinyl door panels

I'm a fan of the cheesy 80s aesthetic and I think the vinyl fits that more. I also imagine cloth is harder to clean. Mines vinyl.

Re: vinyl door panels

I've had both and I think I liked the vinyl ones better. neither looks bad, all personal preference. as with everything appearance-wise, do what you like, you're the one who's gotta drive it

Re: vinyl door panels

I swapped mine out for a set of black vinyl with black carpet at the bottom. Got them from Hawks a few years ago.

Re: vinyl door panels

my old iroc was all cloth and my new z28 is vinyl w/diagonal slots and carpet bottom. i think the half vinyl half carpet looks a million times better.
