I didn't notice it before, but when I looked at your picture this time in Post #5 you can see where the parting line should be at the top corner of the panel. It didn't get trimmed like it should have been after it was molded. I bet it would fit if you trimmed it back to that line on the corner.

I had considered that, but these were incredibly stiff, VERY HARD plastic. They had no flex to them at all and I would have trimmed across the entire top. They also didn't really look all that great either. For what I paid for them, $250? maybe, I sent them back. It was too much $ for how bad they fit. I've made plenty of parts fit over the years, I didn't feel these were worth it.

I ran these for a year and the only complaint is they are too light and stiff. I plan on filling the extra space with some sound deadening material. They are curved and fit as good as factory panels, I did not need to use the single screw at the end of the door opening, but I had to modify the mounting holes, they were off about a 1/4 inch.

Thanks LockDoc for the pic flip

I just now found this thread. I have had a set of these sitting in the storeroom for a while. They were on a truck we bought. They fit ok, but I wanted the trim and woodgrain and it wouldn't fit these so I used up another set of my stash.

I got mine yesterday, overall they actually look pretty good and they do fit the door pretty nicely.

However, if you're a purist, side by side, there are some considerable differences between stock and these. I would have been disappointed had I paid $350, but for the $200 I got them for, they're acceptable. The biggest difference is at the very top and around the outer edge, and the scrolling isn't as crisp as the originals.

I'll take some comparison pics this weekend.

This thread is a little old, but I thought I would bring up I found a site that says the panels fit the original trim. Has anyone used these?

I bought a dash pad from them for an 86 K10 and it fit perfect.
It is not a door panel but my experience with them was good.
