Just Do IT!!

Thanks Parker,
You won't second guess yourself once you install it.
Kim,
Those are my new stainless steel door covers, they look better than those junkers that Porsche designed!!
Actually that was taken a while back when I was upgrading door panels.
I promise, one day I will have my car at an event here in DFW land!!!

The new stainless steel door covers look very 'utilitarian', yeah!
Yes, you must get your Silver Bulit out to play!
Hopefully by then RSKY BIZ will have some new wheels, too!
See ya out there soon, I hope!

Parker,
Looks awesome! Looks like you got it on all the way too! I found that in order to get those darn things on all the way, I had to hit it with a 2lb dead blow (not full force of course). Be sure to protect it with a towel.

Thanks again guys for pointing me in the right direction
Andrew,
It was definatly a PITA to get on, ended up using my to hands against my chest with all my body weight till I finally heard the "thump" of it sliding on...(Almost forgot I used a liitle spit too to help the process).
When I was done, I was kind off freaked out a little becouse I had a little up and down play in the shifter that I didn't remember being there before when its in neutral...Took it out though and it shifted like a champ so I wasn't too worried.
Hopefully I should be alright
?
Thanks Again
