wow makes my door panels look like crap. looks great.




I dont like to make people worried...but that abs plastic backing panel makes me nervous. Have you looked up the heat expansion coefficient of that material? I believe abs plastic is really good, but me, being an idiot, made the inlays in my door panel out of uhmw, terrible material. The second it got into the sun it warped soo bad. I ended up scrapping them and doing them over with wood.

I've used a heat gun on it to do some forming, so I'm not worried about any warping

Dude, those look nice!!! Just fix whats wrong and use them!!

Where'd you get that hardware?? I like it.

I do believe most plastic interiors in cars are made from abs plastic, now that I think of it. I am fixing the plastic parts on mine, It was just a frustrating mistake.

I am a machinist by trade and made the aluminum trim washers and door pulls myself.
