Default Carbon Fiber Door Inserts

Hey gang,
I just got the last of the carbon fiber pieces I need to complete the OEM kit for my '97 993TT. (Man, Marcus does great work!). Anyway, it appears that the door inserts are the leather ones that are attached to them before reinstallation.

Has anyone does this before? Do you remove the leather before installation?

If the question above is yes, and I have to destroy my nice leather ones, then I'd be willing to sell (and swap) my nice black leather ones to someone else that wanted them.

Any thoughts?

Let's talk, I would be interested in swapping.

Guys, know that they are different sizes for 95-96 cars than 97-98 cars. I bought some for my 97 from a guy who tried to fit them on his 96.

There are 2 types of panel inserts.

The early cars have a smaller one that doesn't fit behind the door pocket, & it has a ton of little clasps on the back that you pull towards the end of the car to remove. The other style is bigger & has one large rail in the middle that you pull up to remove after loosing the door pull.

Patrick is right, mine are specific for the 97+ 993's. I don't think anyone makes the <96's anymore.
