how come you did that? im guessing weight savings? looks pretty good tho. I have a similar thing done to my door panels. i removed the carpet type stuff below the speaker grills and had a peice of that diamond printed aluminum stuff cut to fit and i attached it with some allen key screws, i think its looks nice and have had alot of compliments.

i did it b/c the roll cage made it so the door wouldnt shut right with the bottom half of the door panel on there

So i figured i needed to cover it up with something rather than have giant gaping holes.

you should put aluminum where the fabric is on the upper part of the door, that would be cool, kinda make it match

Funkmaster,

Cool panels.

your emergency brake needs to be tightened. start by tightening your rear drums and then take up the slack in the emergency brake so it only "clicks" a couple of times when you set the brake.

that looks pretty good. I have something similar to that only the entire door is covered instead of just the bottom half, but I like your idea, it's pretty cool. on my other CRX I just have the top half of the panels with the gaping hole underneith maybe I should do something like that. wink.gif

Personally I like my E brake to engage there myself.

Doodson, your cage should clear OK.
Mine does.

Phat door!
My friend did kind of the same thing just make sure you don't kick it or hit it because it will dent up real easy.
My friend ended up replacing his with diamond plate it looks real cool.
