What's the rest of your interior look like? I would let that make your decision. Doesn't look to hard to vinyl though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Is it hard to fiberglass door panels?

its not really hard its just takes a while and is kindof tedious.

Right now, my interior is basically a stock 98 Jeep GC. My arm rest/console has a pair of 4x6's in it and I'm in the process of building a wall. So pretty much everything from behind the B-pillar will never been seen again. This is my daily driving toy until I get a new truck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

So a bunch of vinyl and plastic? You could always break out the sem texture paint and paint them to look like vinyl if your worried about wrapping them. I'm just not a fan of carpet on door panels. My car has a small section of carpet that will probably removed minutes after meca world finals lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm worried about the paint cracking on the doors more than anything. I should probably wait awhile until I can afford to buy any vinyl and other materials. I'm also leaning towards suede.

Couple different companies make flex agents for their paint to keep that from happening. Suede would be nice, but it's a bish to work with //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Leather would look good, I am in the process of covering my A,B and C pillers in leather.

Suede isn't that bad to work with if you take off the backing on it. Then, it's super thin and forms well to curves.

This stuff looks awesome, no clue how/where to get it though. Did a google search and came up with the link.

This is what I was thinking.

If your vinyl wrapping skills aren't up to par a texture coating would be a nice medium between the two.

Chia is tacky.

Painted fiberglass which was once revolutionary is even tackier than carpet since it's so overused.

The vinyl can be tough, but your pannel doesnt look too hard to wrap, so if you want to, give it a shot.
