I am considering coveing the door pockets with carpet

DrGP · 06-03-2007, 09:47 AM

Anyone else tired of the door pockets being continuously scuffed from you shoes from getting in and out of the car. I figure it would be pretty easy and not expensive to have the door pocket covered with carpet that matched the color of the door panel. What do you think?

good idea but im afriad it'll look very ugly....perhaps something like a small long sheet of clear bra like material?

I have seen guys that do the "clear bra" thing...they go to a plastics place or such and get a fat sheet for a few bucks...then install it on the places they scuff the most. When it gets overly scuffed...they take it off and make a new one.
If I see one of the guys who has it done I will ask what specific film they use.

Use alcantara, it should look nice...I'm thinking about doing this myself.
