Default RS door panels installed...

Appbiz leather panels with OEM RS hardware and pulls..

The panels have optional die-cut speaker holes and hide the aftermarket unit behind it nicely.

FYI Bob from Appbiz is a class act.

I like those. Been tempted to put them in to clean up the interior.

Those look really nice. Quality appears to be good.

They go good with the steering wheel!

They're great. I didn't like the hardware as much as the factory stuff in terms of looks.

I have "0" storage now. One a day a rear seat delete will come along for the right price..

Coleman,

I was sure to re-seal the water barrier as best as possible before I installed the panels. I don't see how water could get to them at all.

Panels look great! Now, if you would just get those seats sorted

As for storage, how about a small duffel in the rear footwell?

Looks Great!

What is the purpose of having two pulls?

And you'll gain all of that weight back in one fell swoop!

The red pull is the door opener. The handle, is just a handle.

I used to have garage door opener sitting in the door pocket. Now i need somewhere more elegant to place it.

After removing the lower dash, and the 6 inches of hi-fi door panel, I gained a ton of room in the cabin. The car feels 20% bigger.

Shed a few pounds as well. The lower dash and its mounting brackets weighs a good bit. The door panels i removed probably weigh 8-10lb a piece, but the the speaker boxes must be 15lb. They are both way bigger and way heavier then I would have guessed. Never realized they ran the entire length of the door.

I would be surprised if the car didn't lose 50lb from all this.

Some proper leather Recaro Polo Positions would be good for a few pounds I imagine.. I removed the passenger seat to mount the fire extinguisher. That seat weighs a ton.

I wonder if fixed seats/roll bar equate to stock seats/no bar in terms of weight.
