i too am on the hunt for some. funny though, i've gone to my local audio store and asked to purchase some. i was told that there is no such thing and to just pull on panels and they will just pop off. which i hate cause i'm scared of breaking/warping my panels. :/

I got mine at the local auto parts store, dont recall the brand right now but it worked all right. I kinda have to finagle it so I don't break the **** plastic dealies though.

Don't get those one's. lilmaniac2 there is a long red handeled one that they make i picked mine up at harbor freight one side is curved other side is flat and works great to get those door panel's out. It was only a couple bucks it comes in handy alot. If you want i can take pics of it 2morro ?

How have you generally gotten your doors off before? You have been doing this for quite sometime haven't you?

**** even I have panel poppers and I don't mess with audio that much anymore. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

to be honest with you the best guys to go to is BOJO INC. they have a "soft touch" for those of you that are a bunch of wussies. you can make indentions with the hard plastic compounds as well. here is a whole listing. the scrapers come in handy if you install alot of Satellite radio/GPS systems.

I use hard plastic ones for around radios and trim panels. They can be found at harbor freight. My favorite set for door panels is my three piece snap on set. I love the extra long one, comes in very handy for those hard to reach clips.
