Changing door panels..help

Gents,
I intend to delete my door speakers and airbags. I have located a set of plain door panels with no speaker hole or airbag cover. Do these just bolt on? No issues with the door handle?

Thanks

I would think they just bolt right on. I would look online for some tips to taking the old ones off. There are a few hidden screws you have to take out. Pretty easy to do once you know where all the screws are. I've had mine off many times.

yeah thanks. I'm not worried about taking them off, just concerned with fitment. The early style don't have a screw where the airbag supposedly should attach.

Mine has the airbag, but I found that screw wasn't attached on my car either. In fact the only two my car had were the torx bolts near the latch and behind little plastic piece on the handle near the arm rest.

completed. Piece of cake. Love the leather and really streamlines the doors. Also saved about 15lbs.
