A brighter blue would of been a better color choice.

Its not really finished yet ,just like a mock up for now .Im planning on taking it back apart and using a high tack spray to really mold it to the door . That was the best color blue i could find so i just went with it

removing the door panel is easy theres only 3 screws one behind the little access door and 2 behind the big handle trim, then there are like 4 screws that hold the bottom part of the midsection on and a couple plastic welds but dont take them apart unless u have a plastic welder kit

Ahhh thats why it looks wavy. You didnt take out the mid-section of the door. You dont need a plastic welder to put the piece back on. You take some small screws and just screw it back on. You will get a much better fit with the suede and it wont look wavy on the top.

hmm...The color of the suede doen't really match well w/ the painted Interior pieces. Maybe if you didn't have the door handles painted it look better!

Sorry, but that looks really bad. I know you're not done, and I hope it turns out much better when you are.

I think it looks awesome.
I have a small tear in my driverside door in the mid section and I want to either replace it, or do this.
You should have done a step-by-step for noobs like me.

If you can direct me to any good info, it would be appreciated.

Nice work!

How much did you spend on this complete mod?
I'm guessing you took off the stock fabric first, right? (stupid question)
Now I really want to do it... but with a dark gray/black suede...
