So when i bought my coupe sport at the begining of this year, one of the things i wasn't a fan of was the hard black door panel insert. i knew the Si had black fabric with red stitching as an upgrade.. so i bought a pair of junkyard Si door panels, with the intention of swapping them out, however after recieving them i discovered at least the 2020 coupe touring received a black leather insert. I remember looking them up, new that panel was going for around $350 from dealerships. too much to just drop 600 dollars on door panels. i just checked again ( late december 2020 now ) and im sure its a combination of this pandemic and the fact the coupes are discontinued, but the price of a single door panel now is over $800 Each. :( my pipe dream of getting those leather door panels are drifting away. unless someone wants to swap :p

technically it is, its held in place by plastic welded pieces and clips, with a few bolts.. no idea why the triple use method was used but I'm not an engineer or cost savings specialist. i wouldn't be opposed to taking it out and wrapping it myself, but the curved edges and sharp angles worry me with my lack of skillset with fabric / leather based projects. This picture is from a set of ebay Si door panels i picked up a few months ago, still a bit indecisive which design i wanna go with on em -i still prefer leather panels.
