Reupholster or replace?

[Schwebe101]

Hey guys, the Talon I picked up the other day has one bad door pannel. Its in rough shape and is peeling. Other than that though it is fine. What I want to know is would it be cheaper to get it fixed, or would it be better just to get a used one? From what I have saw they are kinda expensive. How much would it cost to get it fixed?

Do you live near a junkyard? There are a few makes/models that share our door panel.

There is one small junkyard around here, last I checked they had 0 dsm's what other car shares them? Avenger?

 

[007jimmy]

Yes, avengers and sebrings. But if you cant find nothing local call a few shops to get a quote to fix it. Since it's only cosmetic luckily you have time to figure something out. I understand it's an eyesore though.

Chrysler sebrings,and dodge avengers

It's definitely an eye sore I tried calling of the supporting venders on here and they all told me for an electric door pannel it'd be 100 bucks, seems a bit high, I could get them a lot cheaper at a junkyard im guessing?

You could get one from a partout ad in the classifieds. They usually sell them pretty reasonably.

I haven't checked lately but most or them say they are manual windows and locks D: but I will keep checking!

Check out stangmuderdera, I THINK that's his name, owner of tuners junkyard.
He probably has the cheapest prices around for used interior pieces.
He's a vendor and usually post a ton of vendor threads.

Already tried, he said he had a few, 100 bucks plus shipping I think? I was just looking for something a little cheaper

Have you tried this guy? Turbo cars are usually power windows/locks.

That's who I was referring to.

No way he wants a door panel for $100+

He shipped me a seat(front seat) for $100 shipped, who weighs 50lbs.
You probably asked the wrong person.

Miller Imports gave high prices for a few things I was looking for aswell. I would of loved to give him my business but I wasn't going to spend twice as much to do so.

Yeah.. he gave me prices that were crazy high too. For some reason it costs the same in shipping for everything as it does to purchase the product. Even on smaller parts that don't require special boxing. I.E. a Deforster vent for 10 bucks, and costs 10 bucks to ship? No thank you. I've sold tons of shit on ebay and there is no way a part weighting only a few ounces costs 10 dollars to ship.

 

[SoopaStar]

Did you try Car-Part.com? There are five or six recyclers within 100 miles of 43512

 

[92AWDHX40]

Got mine for under 20 bucks at the u pull.

 

['97boostinGST]

Miller has always gotten my business when it comes to used parts.
A door panel shouldn't cost above $50 used, in the part out section I'm sure you'll find what your looking for.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Just get a new one from an avenger, sebring,talon or eclipse.Junk yard mods

It could be very cheap if you wrap it in cf wrap. All the eclipses that have used it for interior trim seem to look very nice, and it's cheap to do. Just a thought.
