Trying to source my door panels but can't find anything. I was wondering if anyone knows a good source, or if im SOL and have to buy a set and get them upholstered. I already tried the usual places that I've found over the last 12 years owning this car. I can only find similar with fabric around the door handles and not the leather that matches the seat. It's a 1990 GTA and here is pictures and the RPO codes if it helps. And this is the first time posting my RPO so if you see anything cool let me know

Re: Buying Interior door panel
That is the weirdest SPID label I've ever seen in a 3rd gen Camaro or Firebird.
Your 1990 GTA SPID Label
It's not formatted right, the font is right but it not printed bold enough, the printing of the RPO codes should start close to the left edge of the label and end close to the right edge of the label, there should be more columns and less rows, the paint method should be at the lower left of the label and in your case should be BCCC for Base Coat Clear Coat, the WA Upper and Lower paint codes should be in the middle at the bottom along with the interior color code. The VIN of the car should be at the top left right above the RPO codes.

I have the same exact panels and also need to replace them. I've looked around w no luck. Mine are in slightly better shape. Ive been looking for a quality replacement for a while. Ive found all black vinyl Camaro ones but that's is. They make really nice kitt door panels in tan that are really similar but I've never seen something nice in all black.

Re: Buying Interior door panel
I don't think anyone is making repro door panels for 90-92 Firebirds. This is the door panel style that replaced the plain flat style and the 87-89 1 piece molded door panel style that came on Firebirds with the RPO B20 Deluxe Interior Trim option. When Pontiac restyled the Firebird interior for 1990 the style door panel you have replaced both earlier styles in all Firebirds. Yours being a GTA with leather interior your door panel is trimmed in leather vs cloth for other Firebirds and cloth interior GTAs.
You are going to have to get your door panels rebuilt. A competent upholstery shop should be able to do it. I recommend forgetting all about the 90-92 door cup holder/storage pockets and leaving it plain or have the shop install a regular map storage pocket instead like on the earlier Firebirds.

Now that you mention it I'm not sure why that never occurred to me. All the RPO's have matched up so far to what I've needed and matched everything the dealer has lined up, so I'm not sure why is different.

Well looks like I'll be talking to our upholstery guy then. Thank you for the links to the material, it'll help a ton. Luckily winter is near and i can live with out door panels for a while.
