Challenger convertible door panels
« on: November 17, 2016 - 10:46:07 AM »
Well since no one makes the rear panels for the convertible except palco and everyone says they don't fit I called Just Dashes and they said they can restore my original rear panels for $450 each and only if they do the fronts also for $250 each + $200 to add a color. Mine happen to be green. OER makes  a nice front panel and I talked to them yesterday and he said he hasn't heard anything about them making the rears. Man that's a whole lot of money for door panels. Just wondering if anyone has used them or seen what the finished job looks like. I paid double that for the whole car. LOL

Just dashes applies a vinyl sheet over the panel, details are lost, grain is wrong, generally not a great option... But since options are limited... I had J/D do my rear panels but I used my front panels  as is... The difference is pretty obvious...

It's a very sad thing that no one ever pulled the trigger to make the convertible rear panels.  I would've paid up to $2K for a pair.
