TMI door panels, tore them apart, remade the cheap insert panels with proper board. The doors will be recovered in black leather and properly stitched.
Had the machine shop make me some aluminum billet inserts, powder coated black and counter-sunk the Ringbrothers washers.

Have some idea on the colour and pattern of the new panels (depending on 'new' car colour)

How hard was it to pull that bezel off. I need to do the same thing but will be doing it in flat black to match the dash...

Not bad at all .. see the 2 set screws at the bottom of each end, remove these completely. Peel the tape off without touching the adhesive side and simply slide the computer portion out of the frame.

I lightly sanded the frame with the scouring pad for adhesion

The fit is VERY tight so mask off everything except the top 'exposed' portion of the frame.

OH !! just saw that build was you ... truly over the top my friend, looks like we are trading some ideas. Ya, the controller sticks out like a sore thumb.
Cant wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the interior

Excellent, I'll try to pull it apart this week and see if i can get it free for coating.

And thanks for the compliments. Interior is fairly simple as I wanted it to appear primarily stock. It will have aftermarket seats, stock rear seat, standard door panels and the DSE dash center. I'm looking at console ideas as I like a console in the car but have nothing for it currently and not huge on the stocker.

Any tips on how you made that one? Looks awesome. I'd probably replace the radio in mine for the holley touch screen display.
