Having your vehicle’s door panels redone is a large custom auto interior project, and one that you’ll likely not try unless it’s part of a larger overall plan to reconstruct the internal spaces of your vehicle. There’re 5 main reasons for having your car’s door panels remake, and we’ll cover them briefly, below:
1 – As part of the final touches to a larger “redesigning” of the interior spaces of the car. Normally this goes hand in hand with the set up of a brand new stereo system for the vehicle, as the door panels might require a certain amount of customization to accommodate a new speaker configuration.
2 – If you are restoring a typical car and want to return it to its original factory condition (or similar). Here, unlike above, you are trying to add something new, but rather, restore it to the way it once was.
3 – Often, if there’s serious damage to one or more of the door panels, it can make critical noise issues inside the car, and require a replacement for the damaged part. If that’s the case for you, then you’ve basically got 2 choices. Either have all the panels changed so they look the same, or only change the damaged one (with the understanding that if the vehicle is older, then even if the material is a perfect match, they’ll likely not “look the same” due to the age difference in the material. The last option is obviously cheaper, but it is a trade off.
Unless you’re having work done on a vehicle you are very familiar with, or something like a kit car, you are probably gonna desire to have those carpets changed (or at least taken up) as part of a general sounding of the vehicle to check for underlying damage. And, if you’re doing a restoration or a general renovation, then a carpet changing (sans floorboard repairs) can be a quite economical addition to your overall custom auto interior plan.
This is but among a great number of services that a good custom auto interior specialist can perform for you.
