Default door card help

hey fellas, some previous owner installed cupholders in the doors of my sweeet 993. they punched into the vinyl with four sheetmetal screws(!). so my question is do you guys have a source for new door cards? the vinyl around the screw holes is severely creased from the holder, so i can't just repair the holes. could just leave the cupholders but man they look goofy. thanks for any input.

The chaps at Southbound motor trimmers will make you some beautiful leather door cards for not too much cash. They are in England though. I imagine they'd post to the old colonies.

A chap on 911uk has just had some door cards made for his 964 RS rep by Appbiz on your side of the Atlantic, and they look very good too.

There's some shops here in Milwaukee that will make door cards better than new. I would imagine you must have some shops in TX that would do the same.

Do you need the cards (as in cardbord) or do you just want yours re-covered?

I was thinking this too... I have to admit that the interior with the vinyl on the doors, dash, gauge surrounds, etc always feels just a little "off" for a "high end luxury sports car" (what everyone else thinks of it, right?).

this is the user that is selling used door cards on the forum. Maybe you could use these and re cover them to match your cars interior?

I've actually collected a bunch of door parts (handles, pocket tops, etc) including a passenger door panel that I need to sell (cheap) if anyone needs them.
