Lohen interior door panels

Does anyone have experience with the Lohen interior smooth door panels? did you keep the stock glass and adapt the speakers? I would like a cleaner simple panel without all the rattles and plastic bits on the stock ones.

I would say those panels are more for weight reduction and streamlining interior for "race applications" or for folks looking for that function while not minding the additional road noises....

If looking for noise reduction, I think this mod would be taking you in the wrong direction.

Door panels

I think you're right. But wow- the panels installed in their promo car with the toe strap type door latch looks super cool. There is a thread about " RS door pulls" from rennline.
The Lohan panels and door pulls together would have a unique look.
