lol its actually not that hard

Once you take your door panel off, you have to drill out the center piece.

Take off the factory material, and cut out a piece of material that you are going to glue onto the insert. I used swede but leather or vynel works good to.

I used 3M trim spray glue its a headliner adhesive and it holds up real well. Just spray it onto the insert in even coats. Make sure you use lots of it and try not to get and air pockets in your material when you spread it onto the insert.

Make sure its really dry before you re install it. I used screws to hold the insert back onto the door panel.

Just take you time and it should turn out fine, dont rush at it.

Hope that helps :0)

Oh let me clear up my question, what I meant was that fabric part. Should I just go tan as well or mis it with black?

1. you grind the spots in the back on the door panel to get the panel inserts out. (the back is when it's finished, but you get the idea of where to grind)

2. you rip off the old fabric from the insert and trace it and cut it.

3. after you cut it, make sure it fits well and spray the bonding glue spray on both sides.

4. then wait for 1 minute and then start on one end and work your way down so that you get no wrinkles.

5. now that you are done making them stick and flush, get some small screws, washers and a screwdriver and screw the screws into the whole of where you grinded.

6. now you are done and it will look like a CTR replica.

and these were the tools i used. (not showing is the grinder and the scissors)

comments and questions are welcome. enjoy.
