Default EG6 Yellow Interior Check

Anyone know if these are authentic or not? I'm being skeptical lately so I really want to know your opinion.

Looks re-upholstered to me. Look on the backside of the door card. Does it look like that yellow panel section has been removed and reinstalled?

Yeah, the pattern is off. I have a reference.

The give away is the back side of the door card. You can't redo that bit properly without removing the panel for the door card. And there is no way to do that without leaving damning evidence of the work. Factory melts the posts together. To remelt is obvious or usually people use screws and washers after they either melted them off or cut them off.

Note the pocket on the door looks black, while the rest of the door card is grey. Suspicious.
