What do you think of these door panels?
SO I finally got the courage to do my door panels. I purchased red diamond stitched alcantara from redlinegoods to replace the garbage vinyl that ford used.
I had to slightly modify the inserts and remove the foam that redline goods used and glue my own 2mm foam to the entire door panel insert. I then spent many hours removing the hard felt backing from the door panel and sanding it smooth. applied 2 coats of contact cement to the door panel and the insert then installed with a brass scraper and razor blade, quite a bit of trimming required, but it was easier to install than I originally expected however it was a multiday many hours long process to even finish just 1 door panel. I will be finishing the other door panel tomorrow.
Ive attached images to show some of the process and the end result. Let me know what you think! I think it looks amazing, feels super nice and the threads match the car !!!
P.S I have zero experience doing upholstery and after doing this project I dont think i ever want to do upholstery again haha
