Chad very nice looking I noticed you cut out the door panels as well and left teh top halfs in place. I am trying to do the same thing a make the panels similar to the 911 RS door panels. If you could PM witht he details I would appricate it

Looks nice Chad.

You can get that stuff of the doors with a "pinstripe remover" wheel. Giant rubber eraser on a drill. Works great. Goo-gone and 3M aheasive remover won't touch that stuff.

You bet. Here's how you do it.

Parts needed:

20-30 Porsche 996 plastic gromets (about $.39 each)
Carbon fiber or metal sheeting (1mm to 1.5mm in thickness)

Items to keep:

Pull latches and frames
Various screws


Part 1 - There are two parts to the door's cover. The upper part (to keep) and the lower part. The two parts are made up of ONLY the vinyl skin that covers the card/fiber board material. Remove all items such as, the arm rest, the speakers, etc. Gently pull off the lower portion of the vinyl. DO SO SLOWLY...take your time. You want to keep the lower part later for a template.

Upon completion, the panel should look like this:






Part 2 - Leaving 1 inch below the score line (upper vinyl part) cut off the lower portion of the fiber board. The 1 inch lip remaining will work with the new covers you will make. Next take a panel material of your choice (I will end up doing 1.5mm Carbon fiber sheeting) and carefully measure out the panel. Cut to size. Upon completion, measure out the grommet holes and using the 996 grommets attach to the door. To reduce the chance for vibration noise, use felt or the existing plastic barrier material. NOTE - when applying the lower panel, the top should cover the 1 inch lip cleanly.

Here's a detail of the final:

i beg to differ sir. I thought i had that title.

problem is once i got the garage the fundage for the toys went into the mortgage. it is a delicate balance.

Chads996
