Anyone know if these are the YEAR ONE ABS panels for 2nd gen F-body's? It seems to have popped up on Firebird Central...

They look exactly like the year one panels. I broke down and bought a set from year one and love them. They were really easy to install and look great. It took me awhile to shell out that kind of cash for door panels thought.

Thanks for the input TFlyboy. Yeah, I really want the turned aluminum ones, I'm about 99.999999% in on getting them, but wanna see what my other options are out there. I like the 6.5 speaker hole alot... I've ready horror stories online about how they don't fit up and needed to be modified. Its kinda held me off so far. Good to hear a success story. Did you wrap them in different material, paint, or leave black?

I just installed them in my 78 TA and really like them. The drive side was a P in the A but the passenger side fit great. I did put a couple of screws through them in the front to hold them in nice and tight. The clips kept popping out and the door wouldn't close well until I did.

Sorry but I lost this thread and forgot. I ended up painting mine with the dye paint. I've had problems with the clips that they send with them as well. I ran an extra screw from the panel into the door that hides under the speaker flange.
