Note the door panels have been padded and custom wrapped. There is no carpet on the doors and we have intergrated the speakers in each door.

We had to wrap the door panels twice. The first time the edges were not "clean" and the over all areas were not flat and uniform. SO, do it again !!

Door light is not positioned yet. We wanted to see how it will look.
