Nah, just cut open and pulled everything out of the box

I'm glad it was plastic wrapped because it downpoured hard on the way home...

I'm jealous already. I need new door panels bad lol. At the point where I might just get some thin aluminum ones fabricated.

I'm still awe-struck at the condition of these...

Apparently the Jimmy they came out of use to be in California. In the map pocket in the back of the passenger front seat was a couple receipts for some whole foods store in Cali lol

Can't wait to get these in!

Had to mop up my drool.

The only thing that I don't like, is the text on the door panels.

But.... I could probably live with it.

Find of the year!

Yeah it kind of sticks out... The seats will go in before the panels. I might, MIGHT, not even install the panels... We'll see... I have Bravada panels in it right now that have holes drilled for my component tweeters, so I'd either have to drill holds in these Diamond Edition panels to suite them (yikes...), or find another place and remote mount the tweeters (easiest place would probably just be the spots up on the dash behind the grills).

The steering wheel looks to be in great shape. Most are worn down by this time.

Agreed! It's hard to find just a basic wheel that's not torn up and falling apart along the top...



Well, got the seats and steering wheel cleaned up and installed. Threw a little leather conditioner on them and man are the nice

Not quite as comfortable as the Cadillac ATS seats I was retrofitting in lol, but WAY more comfortable than the cloth bench seat that was in if a while back for sure!

I'll relocate the tweeters I have installed in the Bravada door panels into the factory tweeter location up on the dash by the windshield and install the matching Diamond Edition door panels another day, it's too freaking hot outside right now lol.

















Even transferred my steering wheel radio controls over to the new wheel
