You would need to see if that is something you'd be okay with.
And it may not be exact color.....

Coverlay door panels
Thanks for the link. I looked them up: $383! Plus, as you said, different color and shape.
When the weather warms up (like Spring!), I'll try the paint.

They are junk, dont waste the money. You're better off with 383$ in paint.

At the risk of getting too far away from what the OP was asking.....

What can you tell us about them?

Is there specific things that are a deal breaker for you?

Are these door panels designed to have sections removed so you can add the missing light and add the missing pocket?

Do they match up to the door properly?

Do they use the same mounting method that the OEM ones do?

Durable or paper thin?

Inquiring minds what to know!

Quality for price is non-existent.

You could probably glue the light pocket reflector in place. The map pocket is straight up not an option.

Do they match up to the door properly?

Fitment was poor. Did not sit flush or correct forwards/backwards of the door and original mounting points - fought each panel roughly 30 minutes to get on.

Do they use the same mounting method that the OEM ones do?

Yes - screws along bottom, one at the armrest, and the rest are christmas tree clips.

Durable or paper thin?

The set I purchased for the crew cab lasted roughly 12 hours of drive time before literally CRUMBLING apart. The switch "pod" fell away from the door on both drivers and passengers sides - the glue failed.

The color matched pretty well in the truck (Opal Grey) but the pod was flocked compared to the correct perforated vinyl that covered the originals. Ended up just working with the originals to get the truck on the road.

Thanks for the report back.

The 92-93 were a flock type material at least in the granite -drk gray, but the rest of that is definitely a problem....
