Well when a set of Carbonmiata door latches and then a set of tear drop speaker covers fall in your lap, one starts to think about redoing their door panels. I have the ubiquitous 1990 panels. I like the shape of the 97 bolsters and the notion of a bit more shoulder padding. What are your thoughts?
If you want the '97 look do it. It is your ride so make it as you want it to be.
I think revlimiter may have done similar, check his website and or build thread.
I found the 97 door bolsters intrusive and made the cabin feel smaller. I think it depends on your size.
I’m a bigger guy length wise and don’t mind a snug cockpit. Did you find the bolsters to add any support or comfort? I know there main purpose was to comply with newer side collision standards.Quote:

I love the shape. They complement the speaker shape very nicely.
Adam, I decided to go the route you did. I like the way the curves compliment as well. Sadly, the quilted leather will not be in my upgrade. I am getting the “forever” door panel with the basket weave vinyl so I guess I’m committed. :)Quote:
