Thanks NYC993, glad you like. 1 yard is enough to cover all 6 panels. I used 3M #90 spray adhesive. Let that stuff dry 2 to 5 minutes before setting. The trick is to use clamps. Also no need to overdo the adhesive. Apply on both surfaces and only on edge. This way if you want to go back to stock you don't have to go crazy removing glue.

Awesome, good to know. Are you planning to do the dash and headliner?
On a side note, I see you have RS clutch, how do you like it, especially in local driving?
I'm debating between LWF and DMF myself while the new clutch time is approaching.

To be honest unfortunately I don't drive much specially to feel strain in traffic so the RS clutch feels perfect to me. The LWF is night and day (a must).
Not sure when you're planning own doing the work on clutch/flywheel but you are welcome to try out on my car.

This is awesome and you have inspired me to do the same, rather than go with RS door panels. Although heavy, the stock panels are nice for the additional storage capacity and I wouldn't have to fiddle with speaker placement. How did you handle the carpet on the door pockets? Is it easily removable or did you simply cover it with alcantara? Nice work!

Thanks. I credit Falcondrivr (see link in first post). The carpet is very easy to remove, just don't rush. It has staples on edge, the rest is glue. The box itself is some type of light weight resin/composite, sand some of the carpet fiber down with medium paper. I have thorough pictures of the entire process so I'll update this post.
