Appiz customer service

am in progress of finishing my 72 911T and needed some new door panels
I did not like the RS panels with the strap, I wanted to use the original armrest and
have a map pocket installed.
I called Bob and we discussed the matter and he told me that he will work on it.
I got a price and 10 days later I had a parcel at the Canadian post office.

Bob designed the door panel , I trusted him, he made it without me seeing a sample. I I am happy.

Any custome stuff and if iot makes sense Bob will work with you






Thanks Bob


Now I need the time and strength to cut holes into it, for the window crank and door handle arrangements and some fasteners.

I've been meaning to call him about that new lighter sound pad for the rear interior shelf/seat back cover. What the heck do you call that? Does our host carry it or do I order from Bob?

Thanks,

Scott

i had a great experence with bob within the last couple weeks too. I needed some new "mollie" type handle mounting tabs to relocate my RS handles after a cage install. he sent me 6 of them and the new install tool at no cost. arrived in time as to not hold up my schedule.

BIG props to bob & appbiz.

toby

Bob at APPBIZ here

Thanks to all of you for your high praise. Fritz I'd love to see some pics of the panels we made for you installed. Perhaps we should make these a formal product. What do the rest of you early car owners think?
Bob

I had some RS door panels delivered from Bob. The package seemed to be tampered with in transit and some undesirable had stolen the door pull hardware.

Bob sent another package with the missing hardware - no problem. And I am in Australia.

This is my chance to publicly thank him. He is a top bloke, a credit to the industry.

Thumbs up Bob.

great service, quality product except those fibreglass door pockets he warned me against. I didn't listen.

When I mentioned to Bob that I was painting my 71E resto silver, we discussed red, black or silver gray pulls. He just sent a pair of each for me to try out. I was floored.

Bob,
Those door panels are great! In the future, any chance of getting some made using my interior material? I doubt you would have any on hand, but I could send some up. I like the door pocket idea and being able to go with the stock arm rests, etc.

Pocket placement

Fritz dropped me an email saying that the pocket should be moved forward. He will be posting some pics so we can make new dies to accomodate this.
Stay tuned, perhaps we can turn this into a viable product.

Bob

installed door pockets

Those are the new panels from Bob. He deigned them for me, I never thought that I should check how the door handles would fit. When I got them, I recognized that the lower edge of the armrest is to low and would render the map pocket useless. I raised the rear end by arox. 3" and drilled new mounting holes and used crush washers as new mounting fixtures. I am still happy, how they turned out and how Bob dealt with the order. I would recommend to move the map pocket forward of the arm rest. At lest for that style of arm rest. Other models might be fine with the rear pocket.

Fritz

Fritz, our prayers for a speedy recovery for your wife.

Your photos really show how great this combination looks.

With a little tweaking from Bob at AppBiz to move the pocket forward they will be a very reasonable cost option to the very expensive originals or the just plain expensive repros.

I am going to order a set myself.

Len

Door Panels with pockets moved forward

Bob at APPBIZ here again

Well the dies are finished and the first set is made. We took your advice and changed the placement of the pocket.









Hope this is what you guys were looking for. As always your questions and comments are welcome!

Bob

Will get pricing and part numbers together for Scott first of the week.
