Help w/Leather on the Door panels
So, I'm getting RSX leather seats, but I want everything to match and I have seen some civics out there with leather door panels, and I was wondering if there is somewhere that sales them? I have searched the forum and the gallery, and I can’t find anything. Just to be clear on what I’m looking for, I’m talking about the carpet area on the door panel that the harm rest is set into.

try www.katzkin.com
i know some of their kits come with the leather door panels, but i don't know if they sell them separately though.

nooooo...dont pay! I went to a local fabric place and picked up some pleather for like 30 bucks. All u do is take the stock carpet out, trace it onto the leather, cut it, put some glue on the back, glue it on the door, and tuck in the edges like the stack carpet was. I had to do 4 doors so it took longer, but it looks slick. Ill try and post pics if i can later tonight!
Definately do a DIY. Its very easy to do if you can succesfully take your door panel off.
peace

All i did was went to the local hobbie shop, i think it was joanne's? and asked for a few samples of the leather/vinyl/pleather that they had then went out to my car and matched them , found the one i wanted and got i think 1 sq yard of it and then some spray glue.
went home, took off the door panel, ripped of the cloth then scraped what was left of the OEM cloth and clue and then used those cloth pieces to make the outline on to the new Leather/vinal/pleather and drew the outline of those pieces, then cut out, made sure they would fit, then sprayed the glue, then placed the new cut out on to the doorpanel, and then made sure all wrinkles and bubles were out, and viola! that was it, all less than 15.00 bux too.
