Question RSA vs. stock door panels

Santa has agreed to bring me new door panels for my -84 targa. I can't decide if he should bring stock vinyl ones or the RS America ones. Any opinions?? In the case of the latter ones I would have a pair of carpeted glass fiber door pockets fs.

JT,
Depends on the style of your car. What kind of other modifications do you have, if any?

RSA panels will be one of my winter projects.

Mods etc...

My car doesn't really have that many mods. It came stock with front/rear spoilers,sport seats and bilsteins.
I added h4's, turbo tie-rods, 930s console, K&N cone air filter and a harness bar for DE. I have a 2nd set of 8&9x16 track wheels with RA1's. The car has been lowered to euro ride height; oh yeah and a test pipe is installed.

Saves you about 6 lbs overall...

I also got mine from Appbiz in leather.

The window switches were the only tricky part. Had to stretch the clips to keep them in.

Form or function, you'll never miss the old style panels.
Had/have 'em on both Prosches.

Mine also came from AppBiz......get em in leather, they are fantastically made.

Excellent - thanks for the feedback! It looks like Santa's gonna have to start working a pair of RSA panels.
