Default RS door panel

Ok found 3 sites

Applebiz. Wood. $290

Better bodies plexiglass $189

Gt racing carbon fiber $500


Any thoughts or opinions? I'm leaning towards carbon or better bodies plexi

One option is to use old panel or DIY, just cover with leather, use RS straps and handles.

My Appbiz panels in the 911 are poly as a core, not wood.

I would just buy the poly core panel kit from appbiz. Good quality. Fits great. And most important, weights nothing!!! That's the pospose of the RS door isn't it?

I just got the Appbiz RS panels yesterday in the mail.
Very well made with foam sound padding etc.
I opted for the carbon fiber vinyl look, beaded edging & red leather pulls.I have had other sets in different 911's but these seem to be the best.

Good Luck
Rich

Those look sweet.

I've read on older postings that applbiz are wood.

By poly... What do you mean by poly? I thought polyurethan was a flexible material.

A little OT, but how much weight do those save?

PM me if you want a set of Appbiz ones. I have gently used black vinyl ones in excellent condition with OEM RS door pull straps .

Highly recommend Appbiz, I have them on two cars. Very high quality and service is great. I would recommend asking him to install the switch bezels and the edging, he'll do a great job. I got the leather ones, they look really good.

The carbon vinyl looks great! I didn't know that was available...I've been looking for something like that for a while.

In trying to create a R Gruppe car out of my 964, I've been looking for sublte "retro" styling cues like that look mostly stock, unless you know some Porsche history...eventually I'll do door panels like that and also use some of the same vinyl on the center panel of the dashboard...like this early '70s 911 I sat in at a local Cars & Coffee.

Thanks for the heads up!
