Whipped up some side panels

Well I had some black vinyl that I got to cover a speaker cabinet(guitar) so I took a shot at making some door and side panels to match my new seats.
I used some 1/8 masonite, 1/2" foam, contact cement and the vinyl. They do look much nicer than the pix show, they have a leather look and feel.
They did smooth out after installation, the pix show were I pushed the clips into the door, but it fluffed back out.

Thanks.
I used the table saw and Bosch jig saw to cut it and a brad point bit to do the drilling.
I stripped off a couple of old panels for a patern.

I like them. I might just do that when I'm ready for door panels.

Hi NO_H2O,

What kind of foam are those? Where did you get them?

Thanks
Thomas

I got the foam and the vinyl from Hand**** Fabric, a sewing store.
