Will these work in our USDM doors? I really like the red and I think it'd look awesome in my car. Do I buy the panels or just the inserts?

if you want it to be pure JDM you would have to buy the whole door panel

But wouldnt there be problems with window controls and such if you did a full door panel swap?

You can still roll down windows, all I did was put my stock ones(window/lock control) on the jdm panels.
The only thing you cant use is the lock button since its on the pass. side.

If anyone wants to do this, change the panel, not just the inserts. Unless you are going with the fake bright red stuff.

ahhh i see. cause there is no door lock on the passenger side. i never really took notice to that. i guess it'd be easier to have someone reupholster the insert rather than having the door lock on the wrong side, that would just plain bug the shit outta me. thanks for the input guys.

Just thought I'd let you know that the red material on the JDM seats and panels is used/licensed by Honda. Some of us in the UK are trying to source it to retrim seats but even the official Recaro trimmer won't give anything away :(

You know, now having a lock/unlock switch on the passenger side can be a pain, too. A lotta times when I'm dropping people off, they pull on the door handle, realize it's locked, then look all confused because they don't realize the lock is behind them and there's no switch for them to use. I guess people are too spoiled today and don't remember the days of manually operated door locks. :rolleyes:

why hasnt any one tried sourcing German Honda CTR parts for the door panels? They are woudl fit with no modification and everything would be in the correct place. Only thing I could think of is if the red inserts are a different color red

i dont think they would be a diffrent color red..but i was about to say the same thing about getting german ctr parts it might be cheaper than JDM and youd get the same look

He will if he keeps the stock panel on the left and the JDM panel on the right.

the door lock mechanism is not where the window controls are... its by the door handle. so i guess you'd have one on both doors. but one of them would be functional.

The only way you can have a door lock in your driver side door would be by, making a hole for the lock button to mount. If you see in this pic, youll see there is enough room, just been lazy to do it. =P
