Got my new door panels and installed them. Pretty easy. Came with W/strip and fasteners.

That's the only thing I am not too fond of on the replacement panels the speaker grills are different and I am so partial to the OEM as I grew up seeing that style grill any other looks weird to me.

Yes, they do look good. Do they seem solid? Or, do they give more than the original?

What if you found some of these in the correct color? They were an upgrade. They might just cover the non-standard speaker grill, if one was so inclined.

They seem pretty solid. I removed the padding from the old panels and glued it on. I used a self-tapping screw in the armrest.

I've got a set of red ones just like the one on the right. You can put your finger through the plastic where it has decayed. Eventually I am going to try to find a complete red interior...dash pad, door panels, and the trim around the upper doors and seat belt mounts. The bench seat and carpet are still in good shape but I have never seen so much red in my life.

I've seen pictures of those things in the catalogs but never in real life so thank you, badaz, for your report.

I've also forgone some really nice ones in the JY (years ago) because they were the wrong color; I have since learned about SEM paint so that's not an issue anymore but now, 10 years later, finding those things in good shape in the JY virtually never happens anymore....

Is there any way to attach the wood grain door accents from the 80-84 XLTs?

The tabs usually don't survive removal, and I think most people just glue them on. I don't like the idea of having them permanently stuck to the door card like that so my plan (if I end up using mine) is to JB weld elevator bolts (the ones with the large super flat heads) to the 4 corners of the rosewood trim, drill holes in the door cards, and fasten them from the back with nuts and fender washers. Even if you could get the rosewood panels removed with the tabs intact, recreating the slots in the door card would be quite a chore:
