ok, right after i got the truck, i just used the vinyl paint from the parts house... remember my fiberglass thread on the old site a couple summers ago, where i pulled the cloth, smeared resin, made a god awful mess, and then got pissed off and took some 60 grit to them? they've looked like that, ever since then. until today. i'm not done, they're rough, but...here you go...

i cut the insert out because i wanted to paint it, and wrap the panel like everyone else...the tweeter pod is a PVC adapter, paid $1.43 a piece @ home depot. I still need to epoxy them in place, and figure out WTF i'm gonna do w/the bottom piece... I really want to add courtesy lights, and... I might play w/some fiberglass and use the round grilles from my Boston seperates... Anyway, the green is not the same that's on my dash, but it's close if it's not in sunlight... It's some $3 a can shit I found at Home Depot.

I still have to find a way to epoxy the door panel insert back in from the back, and... Yeah, I coulda done a better job w/the fake suede, but... It's a learning curve. Worst case scenario I buy another junkyard door panel...

looks good from what i can see in the pic...i would tint the windows while you got the panels off, makes it easier

i dunno if they'll fit or not... i know i'm gonna end up redoing 'em, i'm not happy w/the way the suede came out... i have to get some fiberglass to do the pass side, i already shaved the tweeter hole in that one... it's filled w/just straight resin lol
