Super X Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'm not sure if I missed it or not but is there a price listed for the door panels? Very interested in a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayven14 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Okie Dokie ... updates,... and boy are there updates! Ok, so the "Speaker door panels".... the plugs are no good!!!!! Turns out I was trying to make a Rootbeer float with chocolate ice cream.... and that's just not gonna work. So, ya see the redish panels with the happy face? they wont work because they're a completely diffrent animal from the original panels I created. The first set of panels were completely flat with the only contures being that for the door release. It took me a while to figure that out .... and I was the one who made em...DUUUU So,... Now I created the second generation panel, which is the same as the first just recreated. (thats the pic with all the bondo) it still needs some finishing sanding and paint but its pretty much there aside from the fact that I have to make the other side match. Hopefully within the next week I will have the other side done and I'll be able to make the molds ...FINALLY!!!!! WHEW!!!! Remember those fancy dancy Oh so Hot Carbon Panels? well the painter completely screwed them up.... pics attached. Needless to say I was not a happy camper!!!! He apparently said the panels were'nt sealed so they developed this thing called fish eyes when he sprayed them with the clear, so he sanded them again with the idea that he would get some clear resin from me and shoot a layer of resin (to seal them??) which makes no sense to me seeing as how the panels are made from Resin. He was then going to follow that process with another coat of clear??? in any event the panels look like a two year old sprayed them with clear syrup.... they have tons and tons and tons of runs in them. I sanded a nice size area and sprayed it with windex for the wet look and the carbon of course is still there. Dont get me wrong they're in perfect condition otherwise, if someone wanted to spend the time sanding (with a delicate hand) they would be good as new... Im not that guy! A couple of forum members showed some interest in them but Im not sure if there still interested in them Ok what else? I redeemed myself and have another set of perfect Carbon panels ready to go. One set of factory panels ready to go and the plugs from the original "speaker door panels" are for sale. The original speaker door panels wont work with the SPAL kit but if you have a differnt application without the window gear sticking out they'd be a perfect match. Theyre all fiberglass with some bondo and theyre a lil heavy maybe 7 pounds per panel And the carbon syrup panels are for sale as well. Pics are always fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Pete, if the reason the original panels with the speaker pods won't work is because they are flat to the door itself, I'm interested. Shoot me some pics of what they look like and what your looking to get for them. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilC Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Do the blem CF door panels have the speaker cut out hole in them? Also would they work with the SPAL window kit? If so I am interested in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 If they're the same ones that were in the older pics, then no, they don't have speaker holes. If that's a dealbreaker for you, Clive, I might be interested in taking them off your hands, Rayven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayven14 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 So I feel the need to post a few more pics, while the "Carbon Syrup Panels" are in fact carbon fiber, they're not the quality of work that I stand behind. Im only hoping to recover my lost expense and not make any profit on these, so what you see is what you get. Im hoping to sale them to someone who understands the complexities, willing and capable of bringing them from rags back to riches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayven14 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The third and fourth pic show the area that I already sanded, the next few pics show that same area sprayed with windex ..(thats what I had laying around) so you can see the carbon is still there. Again these panels need a gentle hand, a lil patience and some understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Looks like a ton of wet sanding, pm me what your expense was. Kinda looks like it might not be possible to sand it down to a glass look finish? Also looks like the glass cleaner gave it a hazed look. Hmm might have to try something else once done sanding.

Rayven14 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Evil,tough to say. My thought was to sand them down to get them smooth (as possible) with maybe some 400 grit (thats the gentle hand Im talking about) and shoot them with some clear. Who knows ... you got a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Rayven, I have no idea how your painter screwed those up so bad, that's impressive. It looks like he had his settings wrong and sprayed it too thick. Clive, It'll get back it's finish with a thin coat of clear after all the sanding is done. Even a rattle can will get the job done. You'd want to clear it for the UV protection anyway, it keeps it from yellowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayven14 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Clive, Your right! it is rather impressive! considering this was the same guy that painted my 510 and it came out WOW!!!!! Everyone that looks at my car thinks I got a smashing deal for such a great price. Fortunately for me I know more than one painter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilC Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hey I am going to pass on the CF panels. I can't take the "new" ones I have on the car off to steal the top door frame. Those CF panels will look great though with some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
