Morph and Appbiz are two members that do very good work. Everything I have seen from them or heard about them is top notch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I know first hand that the speaker kickpanel pods are quality, I was planning on doing doorpanels from them too.

I have a set from Appearance and Performance. Top notch! What sold me was the fiberglass core - no more moisture warpage, mildew growth, etc. And they seem lighter than stock (just my impression - I haven't weighed them and have no plan to).

James is a great guy, to boot!

Indeed. Out of a need of time over money, and the fact that the fiber panels warp over time... I ordered Morphs door panels last night.

I have the fiberglass panels from Morph, with the basketweave covering. Looks great, perfect fit. I highly recommend them. JoeO

Yup, 914 Appearance and Performance. I have purchased James' speaker pods, carpet kit, and a fiberglass copy of the LE air dam - all top notch! I can only imagine that his door panels are excellent repros as well.

I'm fixing some rust on the floor pan and when it's time for carpet and door panels they will get my business. Looks like good stuff and reasonable prices.
