I don't know who else sells them but that's where I bought mine. Just wanted to know who has some on their car and if you have any installation tips other than the instructions I received because they seem kinda universal.
They say to just use a screwdriver and cram it in the cracks after spraying it with glue but I thought I would have to remove the inserts to put the new material on, did any one install it different? Also any one with PICS to post up of how it turned out? Oh and I got solid black to cover up the nasty checkerd seat matching print and now it will match the dash and console scheme!!

Those look kinda cheesy plus I hate when people spell stuff wrong in their auctions.

ive been looking at those too, i wish they didnt have a pic of an orange one though. from what it looks like, they fit pretty good, but i dunno how hard it was without taking the inserts out. how hard is it to take the inserts out anyways (im betting its not easy). i really want to get something black though to go over my cloth inserts.

i remember seeing a guide somewhere, i think it was 240sx.org, i just pulled the carpet off the door insert, just removed everything that was blocking it from coming off like handle, little cup thing, then slowly pulled it from the edges and pulled it off, but make sure you put pressure on the layer under it or else it will leave ripples on the panel. then i just cleaned the glue off it and polished it... nice and black, ill take pics if i have time

they have it in black if u read the auction. i think they used orange so u can see the insert itself better.

Never took off my door inserts before, but it can't be that hard. Just pull your door panel off and go from there. Only took me 5 minutes to remove panel and 5 minutes to put back on.

The S14 door panels are NOT like the S13. The inserts don't just pull off. If you get lucky and get a corner loose you're left with all the foam and glue underneath. Those are meant to overlay the existing insert.
We talked about this like last week sometime.

I spray painted mine with black fabric paint, and it turned out well (almost OEM looking). The problem I had was that masking tape would not stick to the vinal, so I have a few places with overspray.
