LMC door panels?

Any one tried LMC's 77-80 replacement door panels? My original door panels are faded, but it isn't hard to find nice used pair locally and repaint them. Just wondering if any one tried them would give a feedback about the material "Better/Worse" or if any one had problems fitting the original center and outer door panel trim on them!! I'm already putting new carpet, dash pad, etc. Want everything to look original as possible.

Thanks

I heard that they have changed their panels to a better quality couple months ago. Maybe the 80s style was made from a different material?? Don't know. One of my guys recommended the 77-80 style and did not have any troubles!! They look as original but you feel the difference when you grab them. They also come with colors that are different than the factory especially for 79 and 80 and some from earlier models too, which you have to repaint to mach, and that what I'm planning to do.

I bought a pair 2 days ago. I'll post pics as soon as I receive them. Of course before spraying them

Thanks

Re: LMC door panels?

Ive recently bought a set and they were just okay. They fit alright, took a little encouraging. They seem to be made out of really cheap plastic though
