Don't think so--I can hear the sound coming from under the car. But I'll double check it.

Heres some pics of the pro5 before the engine and suspension etc. was removed:









And some of my stock parts I've swapped already. The black trim pictured will be for sale if anybody is interested.

Yes it is .. I noticed it because I bought his door lock switch, flyin M emblem from the hatch, and the little rubber cap from the top of the inside of the hatc. All of those are missing in the pics above, so I'm sure it's his car.

The fake suede is just low quality in general. The MP3 doesn't have any of it, it has a VERY sturdy (almost rough) fabric on the door panels and better seat covers too (no random blue.. just black and gray)

rob: I know someone in canada who can do all four door panel inserts for 150-200 depending on material. He did ultrasuede all over his own interior, I'll link to pics in a sec

Yes it is AWS's car. He lived 5 minutes from my friends shop so it was too good of a deal to pass up.

The back of the car was damaged a bit when we were dragging the car last night, I'll see if the clips are still there.

The P5 door trim is still much better than the tan crap I have now, and getting the whole car for 100 was a hell of a deal. Theres a guy on ebay selling a bunch of mp3 stuff, you can try and get the door panels from him. I emailed him to see if he has the MP3 front seats. I'm pretty sure the P5 rear seat will fit my car, anybody know otherwise?

If I could pick those MP3 door panels up locally I would, but they're in CA.. for the price he wants shipped I can just get whatever material I want put on in place of the fake suede.

What kind of fabric does the dx have on the door panel?
