Yeah, the color doesn't matter THAT much to me to dye or paint paint mine. I wouldn't trust it, I've seen panels that had been painted and were peeling, it looks worse than not even having door panels. Mine at least look pretty good. If these new ones come out and are good, maybe I'll think about it.

Something else I was thinking about, weren't there Gran Coupe seats with black and white houndstooth inserts? I wonder if these would work with '74 cores... (can't remember if there were plastic covers on the back of the earlier ones)
