R32 Bee R Door Cards

[turpid porpoise]

Anyone have any experience with the Bee R door cards for the 32 coupe? My GTR is getting a full resto but it came with junk sheetmetal door cards when I bought it and I’m having a very hard time finding any cards of any sort state side but I can order the Bee R cards new.

 

I’ve only found a couple pictures and they aren’t great so I’m looking for feedback on their fitment, overall appearance and how much work is involved in prepping them for install since they do not come precut for switches and mounting holes. 
 

Thanks!

Hmm. They do not appear to have the standard shape - ie, no armrests. I suspect that means you have to put the switches on a more vertical surface, which would probably suck balls for usability and aesthetics.

I also reckon that CF is absolutely the worst material for a door card. It will inevitably get kicked and scuffed down where the speaker grille would have been, and the elbow rub marks will make the top of the card wear differently to everywhere else. I think if I had no option but to use them, I'd be putting a clear wrap over them, which would no doubt end up looking a bit shit too. Maybe just another couple of layers of clear coat so they can be polished a few times to get around the wear issue.

There is a bunch of reasonably priced OE door cards on Yahoo Japan. Could get Jesse Streeter to ship them to you
