Coverlay door panels

For anyone that has purchased the Coverlay interior door panels, looking for some feedback on whether it was worth it or not. I could start looking at the junk yards for a used replacement but I may just bite the bullet and get them. I am replacing the door handle, adding the reinforcement for the latch mechanism, etc. Thought it would be good to get a new panel since my driver side door panel is beat to hell and cracked. Thoughts? Thanks all

They look nice on the site. Not too crazy expensive. I know they don't make any rear door panels though.

When I replaced my door panels I got used ones from E-bay. They were just a step above what I had. If I were to do it again I would try the Coverlay. Just my opinion. They are new and not cracked. Remember if going used bronco and f150 will fit. Mine came from a bronco but like I said there were cracks not stated.

I saw a build a few years ago where someone used coverlay panels and had them upholstered with new fabric like the stockers were, came out super nice.

Anyone good with color codes? My door panel says "r6" for interior trim color. I believe it is medium gray and not light gray. Trying to confirm before I place and order for the panels. The website looks close to medium, but it's the Internet. Throwing this out to the group to see if anyone can confirm colors?
Thanks!

If it were me , I think I would give them a call and talk to them. They can probably give you a good idea as to color. I also think medium gray but IDK. Good luck.

Coverlay wasn't much help. Internet is best that I can do to match other than having the cloth part of the door shipped out as a sample to match. Going to look a little more on the color codes but I think I have what they call Medium Gray. Trying to get this done in between work today.

Okay, lucked out on the Medium Gray panels. Got them into the truck, pretty easy install. I did the CP Addict door panel reinforcements first, then put in metal door handles. The only issue with the panels was the screw in the upper part of the panel near the wing window was to short and the plastic broke out. I grabbed a longer screw and added a couple of washer on each side, worked perfect! Truck rattles have pretty much gone away!

Those look to be, and fit very nice for aftermarket ones.
