Question Custom door panel upholstry?

Any one know if any online place sells some kind of leather upholstry or something for the Z's door panels? My passenger side door panel got scuffed pretty badly a few weeks ago when it was vandalized and I got a quote on replacing the door panel for $490!!!

I figure that reupholstry would just be easier and cheaper. Thanks in advance.

Pretty much the whole door panel surface that looks and feels like a ping pong paddle. There's no one that knows of a vendor or someone that makes CF or like a leather cover of some type for this area?

Not for the whole panel. The most Ive seen custom pieces for is the control piece and the door barrels (where the handles are).

goto a respectable car audio shop that does major instals and they should have a pretty good upolsterer (however you spell it). tell them what you want and they should do it for a reasonable price.

It's not that I don't hate the way the panels look, but just the thought of that scuff every time I look at it irks me because of some punk kid. Oh well, I guess I'll have to start looking for a good audio shop, then. Any other info would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

I like them, they are a little plain though.

BrickydZ, disregard my PM. Looks like the bid is still up! Thanks!
Also, there shouldn't be any differences in the '04 door panels compared to the '03's, right?

I cant think of any reason why the door panels would be different from 03 to 04.

Still looks like a great price and 1 day 23 hours left.

Good Luck, I hope it works out.
