Installed the custom door cards

Believe it or not, I’ve put about 1,300 miles on the car and realized that I hadn’t put the door cards on! They were tucked away on a shelf in the garage, so I pulled them out and gave the leather a good treatment. These match the FFR seats, transmission tunnel and radio box upholstery.

I was really adverse to drilling into my doors, so I opted for some really strong velcro. It’s maybe overkill, but everything in this build has been like that. VELCRO Brand Extreme Outdoor Double Sided Mounting Tape | Holds up to 15 Pounds on Brick or Other Rough Surfaces | UV and Weather Resistant | 14Ft Heavy Duty Roll One thing’s for sure, this stuff is sticky – which is the whole point! Two long strips, one across the top and one on the bottom, these panels should be set for quite a while.

The door cards came from Factory Five with the 25th Anniversary stitching, but the panels were in horrible shape from FFR. Sadly, they didn’t do anything about it, so when I had my transmission tunnel and stereo box wrapped, the guys at Fine Line Trim in Rancho Cordova, CA did a solid for me and rebuild the door cards for free!

You can see the panels with two long strips of velcro attached. I pressed pretty hard to ensure the tape adhered, and once it’s attached, it’s really on there!

Time to say goodbye to those beautiful San Marino Blue painted doors, and add the new door cards. I think the new door cards look awesome!
