03 Sport Door panels

[Cox]

I just bought an 03 black sport edition and the door panels need to be replaced, well really just the top part of them, but Toyota said its all one piece. Does anyone know where I can get these?????

Are you referring to the textured-gray panels on the bottoms of the doors?

Those suckers are wicked expensive to replace. I recall a few years ago pricing those out at they were a few hundred for each panel.

I found a set on ebay a few months ago, they were ridiculously expensive, you'd be better off searching salvage yards

Well the areas that need help are the top portion of the door panels. I actually found a guy here in KY who repairs dash boards and door panels for a living. He's been doing it since 1988 and the work is amazing. He's going to save me a ton of $$$$

it's actually two pieces... they melted plastic grooves to connect it. you have to break the plastic off and then find a way to screw them back together... I redid all four on a prev. 4th gen... it was pretty easy work....
