I was thinking of you Brad. I'm glad I have your panels to use for back-ups  :naughty:   :smokin:

I'm in a hockey tournament this weekend. Will get you pics when I have a chance.

If you can post up some pictures? I'm curious as to what I'm in for?  ???

The centre two nuts are on but I can't get the end ones started. The insert needs to be trimmed back so it fits flush in the recessed area.

Who is the manufacturer of the panels that Metro sells (or uses to sell)? I thought Metro was a distributor. I went to the Roseville Mopar site and the Challenger panels are listed, but appear to have the holes in the wood grain insert area.

Metro was the manufacturer.  They had them made over seas.  They sold them to all of the other dealers.  Metro is now out of the automotive parts business.  Roseville bought the rights to make a lot of Metro's parts.  They ONLY made them with the holes PRE punched.  Call and talk to Dave and see if/when they are reordering panels.

I would bet minimum production quantity is between 25-50 pieces. I would bet that a qty of 1 aka special order, would either be not possible or very expensive. I would probably consider getting a "group buy" going across various forums with other owners who need the same thing, and then submit that list.  Just my 0.02.

I was at a mopar show in Columbus and Indy and the legendary dealer told me that they get their door panels
From vans auto.  I went to vans auto dealer at the show and he said they got them from metro.  I bought
Cuda ones from him.  They fit perfect and looked like the originals.   400 dollars for the front pair.

PUI Interiors is the vendor for plastic interior panels for Legendary.
That what was dropped shipped to me when I ordered seat backs from legendary.

Take your chances if you want with Legendary.

My advice: Don't chance it!   :nono:

I live 3 miles from PUI in lagrange,ky and i went and looked at their door panels for a cuda and they look
Different from the factory originals.  I can't speak for the fit but the appearance is a little different.  I knew
I wanted ones that looked like the originals.

we have another container coming in of white and black panels soon. we do have a few sets in stock. Reds and Blues will be phased out and no longer made in the need future as white white challenger rears.

But I cant speak for legendary and PUI for door panels and seat back,

we have the metro brand and only see these, except for the convertible rears which we have no other options than whats currently available.

as for changing the Tooling, Slim to no chance of that for a small amount of orders.
