Yeah that would look really nice. I dont think mine will look that good. Just going to make it basic as im doing it myself. It will do for now. That commodore looks hot though!

Why not make new ones?

Bitza's trims are in three pieces.........backing, lower and upper.......all very easily covered.

How easy is it putting electric windows? Might consider it

The trims are made of MDF, Masonite and standard Starion uppers........then trimmed with some foam and vinyl.........electric windows is easy.........just grab a complete GSL relay box, add in the power output from the box to the switches.......voila...done.

Sounds like a lot of effort into it. Might have a look at the electric windows but im very novice so still sounds impossible haha. Love the colour coding!

Hey Andrew, was thinking about putting my speakers the same place as yours, but the speakers are deeper than the doors, did you cut your door?

My doors are not cut.......I have used two layers of MDF to gain height...........then I have sanded the MDF back to give the round edge.

What have you done to the back door cards? Im in the process of putting speakers in now. So far so good. Will post pics up once done. All i seem to do is take parts off anf never put them back in haha. So far my car has no centre console, no door cards, no rear shelf. No wonder the girlfriend wont get in haha

I left my trims as is........the only holes I used were to run the speaker wiring.........not to mention covering over the plastic lining to stop water injestation. :D

I would NEVER cut the doors...........all the strength is diminished. :shock:
