I'm not much help but it's something i'd like to know as I want to try this too.
I suppose it really depends how determined you are to get it right a mate tried it a while back the hardest part was trying follow the curves without leaving creases in the material

i reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaly want to do it, so much so I am buying another set of doorcards so that I can transform them so if it looks crap then I still have my originals lol....


See what you mean about the curves though....its gonna be interesting :S

 

[tidyclio]

If you've got two sets of door cards just go for it nothing to loose think the hardest part will be trying to get it smooth around where the electric mirror switch is but if you've got a door card then take all the plastic bits out then pull of the original material and use that to cut a pattern.
Not sure on what glue to use won't take much to stick it pva maybe lol

The re-trimming job on that looks well done theirs a good company around me that do some top class work it's the money they charge though it's ridiculous.
I think it's worth trying but doubt i'll be able to get it as good as that.
Nice work mate
