Opinions needed

I need some new door panels for my 79 and I found a set for a good price but I am wanting to get some opinions on how they would look. I am thinking that they may be too dark.

here are the door panels



here is a pic of the interior

It's all personal preference, but i actually prefer the new chocolate colored panels over your current biege panels.

Were the new panels a solid color they would just blend into the door and appear too monolithic, but they do have the black accent to break things up.

Those panels look great, I might paint the black accent beige to tie in with the dash but definately use 'em!
