$50 bucks.......
and about 3hrs on one panel.. but it was fun.. soo.. here they are





And where everything is being stored at the moment/ carpet/seat/panels


WHy spend 250 bucks on black ctr panels that dont match your interior when for 30bucks you can have the exact same fabric and all...

It really is easy to do, if you have any mechanical skills at all.... you can do this.. Now getting the panel off the door.. NOW THATS a whole other story

it really is stupid.. the people that use the whole door have mismatched color panels.. and the other half of the people are paying 250bucks for the armrest it self... stupid... when you achieve the exact same results with the exact same fabric that is brand new.. and not worn down

its a great DIY but i think people spend that much because CTR panels are actually BLACK not grey or dark grey.
