Anybody used these before? Seems like a good durable alternative for a nonstock daily driver.

Wondering how well they fit mostly.

I might think about getting them... They look pretty good.

I had two pieces of cardboard that the PO covered with carpet until I got fed up with them and yanked them out. They looked too crappy. I'm thinking of 1/8" masonite if I could just get a template.... Oh well add one more thing to the long list of crap I need to do. Rolling Eyes

I was going to maybe paint them as well. The only thing is if I paint them I will always be touching them up. They also sell a headliner, (kombi style) and door panels. I am seriously thinking about going this way. The durability aspect is appealling. I just didn't want something that doesn't fit right and is a headache. Like most of the aftermarket stuff.

I bought some for my kombi, just the driver and passenger side. I had to make my own for the rear half. Here is my set up.
