Are these eBay panels the same? If they are different, does anyone have any experience with them ?

The graphics are vinyl graphics. They are removable if you want.
As for the price, I would estimate say $1,250 or something around there. I got a deal because I was having it done for a car show and the shop happened to have some down time.

I am sure the price varies greatly from place to place, the number of colors and how intricate the design. This is some top quality stuff. It took 5-7 layers and took about a week for them to get it all done right.

As for people's opinions on them, Hey its my car and represents me, my life, and my personality.

Same company. GT Factory doors, sold by Chaser Aero in Maryland.
I still have not seen mine since they finished everything, but after 7 days of labor........

Best of luck to you......

Why not wait until I get up close and check them out and I can show you some of the details of the install…

No, you send them your dash (or pay a core charge) and they put the print on the stock dash piece. Check out their website. It is amazing quality man, it is exactly your stock piece but looks CF. You can of course buy the actual CF and they will custom manufacture it for you but it is $$$$$.

I am going to check the site out now...Thanks for the quick reply man...

Your doors are GT factory correct?? Was it a pain in the a$$ to install? And do they open normal and then up? If I get verticals I want to be able to open the door both ways...I don't want to pull up to a nice restaurant and have to go vertical!!

Not a problem man.

Yes mine are GT -Factory doors and they only go out about 2-3 inches (but are adjustable to a point) and then up, UNLESS you modify the fenders by cutting/flaring a section out in which case they can go out as much as you want. Someone on the board here did that recently and made their own Fiberglass fenders to allow for the door to open normally before going up.

If you want a door that opens out I would recommend the Vertical Door or the LSD door kit. There are a number of members out there that have them.

As for Elegant Wood Design. top notch work. Quick turnaround too..

Yes the Vertical Door kit opens out enough for a person to get inside the car.... THEN it swings outward... Check out Kcobean's car.

LSD kit is the same.

As for the website. The department that does our work is called Suite-E-GrafX. Check this out..

a big second, it just looks like you had the graphics done before you put on the side skirt. like the graphics but also think they will look better going all the way down on the skirt.

I apologized in the other thread...

As for the graphic. I believe it was Pag's idea not to cover the skirts because people are prone to replacing them due to damage etc, and he did not want to have to redo the entire graphic. Plus they were freshly painted when he did all this.

I am getting the rest of the graphic done over the front, so you might have a point. Maybe time to take it all off, polish, wax and put a new one on...

Will talk to Pag about that later this month.
