My leather door panels

[RandallNeighbour]

I will post pix if anyone really wants to see them, but I installed my very nice, almost new-looking black leather door panels last night. The whole procedure took no more than 30 minutes tops.

I swear the addition of these new door panels makes the interior look five or even ten years younger. No faded pebble vinyl or poorly repaired cigarette burn on the passenger side now.

Of course, now the dash looks like crap. I'm going to use the Leatherique leather and vinyl dye I used on the old door that worked so well to make it look new and get the dark black color back on it.

BTW, their dye is really good and if you follow directions, it's durable too.

Ohh..Ohh...I wanna see!

So I guess Im going to have to do this to my car too.... money never felt so hot in my pocket.

The only way I could afford it was to snag a pair off this forum for $120 each. LA Dismantlers has pairs on eBay now and again, but they want no less than $800 PER PANEL believe it or not.

Lots of luck finding reasonably priced leather replacement panels. I looked for no less than four years for mine.

Congratulations!

my car came with the "full leather" option - and the dash and door inserts "look" like leather to me.... Does that option mean that my car has leathe rin all those spots - or is only "some" of it leather and some is vinyl or some other synthetic material??

If you have a "Full Leather" interior, all the leather "like" surfaces are real leather with a few possible exceptions depending on year and other option packages your car might be equipped with.

I have the full leather int. and all the colored pieces are leather plus the black door pulls, seat back pockets, and steering wheel cover are leather. On my car the black shift boot is not leather.
