Im thinking about getting a set of the 914ap door panels in black basketweave. I've been looking for a set of NOS panels for my car and I've come up with nothing. I just want to be sure that the panels that they sell can not be told apart from the originals and that they line up well on the door. Can anyone post a pic of them installed? Thanks

Also, if anyone has a set of NOS panels please let me know

J,
Forgive me, but what are "914ap" door panels?

The door panels are made by James & Heidi at 914 Appearance & Performance. They have a fiberglass backing instead of the stock fiberboard.

Sorry J, but I'm not familiar with any of their products.

Have you considered recovering or rebuilding your existing panels? I did mine using this as a guide: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=54608 They turned out great.

Yea, I considered re-doing mine but they are pretty warped and im not too confident in my ability to do a flawless job. The 914ap panels seem good because they won't warp.

I must agree with the doc, I had my entire carpet kit with custom cut pieces with banding on odd edges from them and it fit like a glove. STAND UP company.....Also I cannot remember who did my GT door panels (they are a 911 type company) but they did a GREAT job too for resonable $$$ search GT door panels and I am sure they will have what you need.

So anybody with a pic of these installed? Not the GT style, just the plain basketweave. Thanks

Anyone with pics?

I also have their door panels. Nice quality. I have a 911 style you can sort of see it in this picture. I can take beet ones tomorrow if you wish?

Hey Garold, if you wouldn't mind taking another pic I'd really appreciate it. I just want to have a look at them before I go ahead and purchase. Thanks

I put a set in Betty's 914 just before the Rocket City Ramble.

Wonderful fit and finish, and very high quality construction.



Only one word of warning... let them cure for a few days before installation. The fiberglass smell was a bit strong for about 2 weeks after installation.


For what it is worth, I have bought a set of speaker pods, 2 sets of carpet, one set of door pads, two door box sets, 2 front trunk, and two rear trunk kits from them. All of which are excellent.
