Default Door Panels and lock lever bezels installed. The Pros' and Con pictures.



Pros: A monkey can installed these panels and with the help of my wife it was done successfully. Pros: These panels are beautiful. Cons: It isn't perfect fitments however you decide is it enough to make you stay with what you have. Well my old panels were chipping and I'm happy with with what I have now. You decide what works for you.






O.k. if you see here you will see a little gap this is the con that I'm talking about. It's not perfect.



This side actually has better fitment and it would have to be the passenger side but WTF.





Beautiful appearance however the next is beautiful but the fitment had some fitments issues. As demonstrated by picture.




So there you have it. Am I happy? yes I am. You really have to be nick picky to find these discrepancies. However I speak for myself and I am somewhat obsessive myself.

Whoops I almost forgot does the door lock bezels have issues staying secure? Well yes and no. You pop off the old ones and these pop in however it isn't like permanent you could if by accident jarred one and it will loosen it. It's not a problem for now if so I will look for a remedy with the 3m tape.

I believe these are the knock-offs that SHR has posted about. Definitely don't have the appropriate level of fit and finish I'd personally be demanding of pieces at these price points.

The door lock pockets from BilletDepot aka UPR are bad knock offs of the original SilverHorseRacing ones. Marcello fix the fitment issue with them and the new ones fit 100% better. I have the Door panels from SHR and I have no worries about them falling out like UPR's.
