    That's why I'm going with hydro dipping.

    Aren't you parting out door panels? Use one of those pieces.

    I use these to cover my interior and exterior blemishes. They are easy to apply, and cover the blemish completely.

    Yeah, so the full plan was to get the heated seats from the part-out car. I was going to take the door panels but the passenger one has that gouge in it.

    Do you worry about it being straight? I don't know a lot about the process but it seems very..uh..swirly to me.

    So both the parts car and your regular MM have damage on the same piece of trim?.

    Trying PMing BigcowlImp, if he's still around, he used to have a treasure trove of wrecked MM parts.

    My MM passenger door is fine. But those switched can't be swapped easily, can they? I assumed I'd need the whole door? I'd have to cut a hole in my trim piece.

    Cool. Thanks.

    Are you having this done locally to you or via mail order fastblackmerc? I ask because I'd like to have some pieces hydro dipped, but I am not aware of a reputable place near to me.
