decided to make up some custom door panels. I got the passenger side one almost finished. Just needs hole cut out for speaker and some speakers covers, also need to pick up a bezel for the handle from the junkyard.

i used wrinkle finish black abs plastic sheeting and aluminum channel for the arm rest. all cuts made in the plastic with a dremel.
