ya well i was kinda stuck on the color, i dont like the multi-color interiors and im more of black and grey fan. Grey suede is almost impossible to find so when i got something close i just went with it.

first off d*mn toyota for makin it one piece but i ended up cutting the peak of the ridge from the back all around except the two sides that touch the handle. i didnt cut these b/c i didnt want the piece completely out and i wanted it to retain some structural integrity. i then wrapped the suede and secured it with duck tape and then fiberglassed the back of the panel.

Toyota did a really ****ty job on the door panels. They break easily, and rattle like hell.
Why did you do this to the door panel? Looks? Something break? I went to the dealer and they wanted $500 for a new door panel from toyota... friekin thieves. Ed. |

Iv been wanting to do this for awhile now.. Ive been helping my bro and all his civic friends do there doors. but you dont even need to break off the back.. we didnt on my bros civic. all you do is cut it right, then tuck, and make sure you use a good spray glue..
Also just curious how much did you spend for the suede This post has been edited by Digndoug: Jul 19, 2004 - 11:51 AM |

i did this b/c i just wanted something new and i like the feel of suede. and to digndoug. i attempted to cut it perfectly and then leave extended pieces that i could pull through without cutting the whole piece out but trying to cut it perfectly is pretty hard. also i didnt want to use any adhesive b/c im moving to florida and in my last car any adhesive i had just melted in the summer heat and i lived in NC. oh ya...and the suede cost me 12 dollars shipped. it was left over from some ladies project she did...got about 3.5 yds. -------------------- I am ever so thankful for the 'Ignore User' capability on this forum.
