Seems like the Rs style is winning, I'll give it a few more days.

Conrad: RS style card for me too, utilizing stock door opener and window switches, with either pull strap or handle to close door. Mike

I've always wondered about door cards made of a plastic rather than fiberglass. Has anyone seen door cards made of an alternate material than the crappy paper/fiberboard based ones?

Yes alternate -is the way to go you don't need to use Fiberglass unless that is the only process the fabricator knows.

I might be interested in stock or RS style depending on looks. Most likely I would be more interested in stock, function and appearance wise.

Actually a step one product that I bet would do well is replacement stock style door pockets. Carpeted or uncarpeted (diy carpet).

Mine are all cracked and busted to hell and let stuff fall out the bottom sinze screw holes are broken and they don't mount well.

Rob Budd already has that covered:

Not really interested because I scored 968 10 speaker panels off a low mileage car a year ago. However, what's the plan to match the vinyl already in the car?

that 968 is pretty snazzy looking.

i have long thought the 944 needs a passenger "oh-s%^t" handle

Doorcards look like late yugo, vents are useless and painted arm rests & handle is not going to stay nice for too long.



A lot of work, but i don't like it.

Oh. Dear god. That "joy handle" blue grey interior is hideous. The door cards look tacky and WTF is that handle for?

I shouldn't judge though. Maybe its custom made for disabled passengers who need mobility assist devices. I installed a similar handle in a bathroom for a relative once.
