i think its kinda ugly. i would rather shave the license plate cover area... that would look better imo... it is just TOO modified i think... and i hate those headlights especially on black cars...looks ok on others but there is a green bird in town with em and i think it looks HORRIBLE.... the flip up headlights are classic...-Hawk<br /><br />===================================<br />Black 2001 Pontiac Firebird<br />Automatic Transmission Street Bird<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453</a> <br /><br />\"Live like you were Dying\"

Just an Idea, but to add more structure to the alluminum, you should sandwich against a thin peice of mdf board. That way it is less likley to dent.
Personally I like the brushed allumimun idea, I just think the whole door is too much for me. Have you thought about maybe just doing a 2in wide trin around the panel, maybe with a suede insert.
Did you make the A/C controls and the headlight swich covers yourself or are those MBA"s

The inside looks pretty cool, but the alum. control knobs on alum. overlays is a bit much. They wash each other out.<a href=\"http://members.cox.net/95batmobile/d86f.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Sinister Six</a> <br /><b><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/c_o_jones\" target=\"_blank\">Cardomain</a></b><br />--This doesn\'t change the fact that I am ~The Guru~ who still kicks puppies...

I think they look good on black and bad on all other colors.
They'd look better if they were smoked.

well i said Especially black cars, but i have seen some pictures of a white car and a pewter car with em and they didnt look that noticable so i didnt think it was that bad, but i guess anything that is of darker color looks bad to me, like black blue green and red... the white one didnt look as bad for some reason, but i still dont like em it looks weak to me....
I agree, sometimes it seems like the whole door panel is a little too much but if i do it well then i think it will just be a larger spot thats looks good [img]smile.gif[/img] so we will see, ill continue prototyping on the pass. door and if i get the look i want, ill replicate the process for the driver door... thanks all!-Hawk<br /><br />===================================<br />Black 2001 Pontiac Firebird<br />Automatic Transmission Street Bird<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453</a> <br /><br />\"Live like you were Dying\"

How did you reconnect the door trim after u put the aluminum on. If i am correct, you needed to cut the pieces of plastic to take off the door panel with the leather or cloth on it. I have replaced mine and i am trying to figure out the best way to reconnect it to those little tabs that i already cut off. Any help would be apreciated.Garrett<br /><br />2001 WS9 W68 Blackbird A4<br />Custom Turbo...Chrome ZO6...WS9 Hood...<br />Custom Leather Interior...<br />much much more...see website<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/637795/\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/637795/</a>
