door panel idea + pics

[DarkEcho]

Im not sure if no one is looking or if no one cares but i posted this pic a couple days ago and want some opinions!!! check it out... its just a quick photoshop so i got lazy part way through..

I think that it looks pretty good. Black and silver are a good color combo. I like the one on the left more personally.

lol yea me too, i WOULD do it but i have just decided that i hate my interior painted, i can just never get it right and i am wasting way too much money on spray paint... i have decided to do somthing completely different after i return my interior to stock... should be more appealing to sell to someone that way too... im going to do easily reversable mods... give me a month or two and ill have some more eye candy for you guys, ive got this "classy" mod in mind, keep an eye out [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think the one on the right would look killer, but you'd have to do the whole dash in silver too, and accent it with black ac vents and gauge cluster. that'd be a boat load of work, but would look great.

i like the one on the left. the one on the right seems like too much

I like the one on the left too.

What year camaro are they from? I would like to get rid of my 1996 panels and upgrade to those. They will fit, right?

Oh, and the one on the left looks best. JMO

They're not from a Camaro,they're from a Firebird. ;)

Oh yeah, I chose the left.

Are they still compatible then?

I seem to remember he had to splice into wires because the camaro and firebird use different connectors for the power windows/power door locks/mirror controlls. I also seem to remember something about screw holes not quite lining up right and having to put new holes in his door.

It's been a while since I looked into this, but I seem to remember these are the reasons I didn't do it.

Edit: my vote goes for the one on the left for the reasons Ellik said. However, if you wanted to paint the rest of your interior, then the right one would look kick a**.

Thanx Rob!

The firebird door panels are compatible, but I think (not sure ) they may cause clearance issues w/ the camaro dashboard.

I would love to see the one on the right done with the silver dash. Fortunately my car has neither the black interior nor the correct exterior color for that to work.... fortunately only because that would be a crap load of work and Id jump on it in a heartbeat after seeing the quickie photoshop you did above.
