Steve asked me if the top line of the three panels on each side line up.
Of course, these are my home-made panels, but I think they are fairly representative.
I would say "pretty much" line up.

Here is how I tackled the cut-out for the filler hose.
No clearance issues. Just made two small cuts to clear the cut-out in the floor.
Mine was the short-type metal piece.

Hey Nuclearbeef,
That's not where that rear ac goes.
That's going to be a good project!
Looking forward to learning how it's done.

The rest of my door stuff is dark gray, but my kick panels are black.
They might have been sourced from 8 different pigs, though.
Are everyone else's kick panels black?

Me too. I'll get around to it about the time it turns cold out.
the panels shown do not have the ashtray cut outs, so they will work

Didn't have time to test fit the panels last night, but did take a pic of the clips included compared to the stock clips:
You can see they are shorter in both directions, and a little wider at the clip wings. Should be able to let you know how they work tonight. I've only got 30 of the 64 OEM needed, so really hoping they work

Tucker
I hear you, I wasn't aware of your project
Tucker
I think I know the guy you're talking about. Cheap bastard.
it would make sense that they be black since the firewall blanket/insulation is black, it's set to match that, not the door panels

Tucker,
I will contact my clip and fastener supplier to see if he has the larger clip
Would anyone know if this is an av-ve-co item?
i can check at work tomorrow and see if i can match it in the auveco catalog. there's online, but i'm not patient enough to deal with online pdfs and it's not in the toyota section, so it will be in a general section

Installed two of these tonight and the fit was perfect, had to modify the clips slightly and figure out orientation since I had nothing to go on ... but easy otherwise. I ended up just squeezing the wings on the clips he sent with needle nose pliers to make them fit in the plastic grommets better (sorry for crappy pic):
Driver door disassembled:
Panel fitted:
Trimmed out (cut small x with exacto knife for armrest:
Matches my 80 buckets with Great Covers pretty good:
Rear door (handle was FUBAR under vinyl wrap so I didn't install):
Reason I started this project:
Yes ... that's suede and carbon fibre :-( Let me know if anyone has three spare arm rests Overall the fit and finish was great, figured out how to install the clips easily and only cut myself once ...
Cheers!

Tucker,
The panels look great and only one cut. Luck or Skill

man that is nice, me want a set! any info on how to order a full set? will pm...
Thanks Tucker!
Did you try running the old clips in the new panels?
Sounds like fit is good enough for me!
Does anyone know how difficult it would be to cut in the ash trays? I frequently transport 8 husky people in my Land Cruiser, at 80 MPH, and they all like to smoke...
Just kidding.
Now wondering how much a set with cargo panels for the tall filler neck would be?
I was thinking that the kick panels may have been black, as they would get kicked?
