The door panels were local made by a lady who does awesome work. She used the top metal pieces from my stock ones and copied the factory pattern pretty well. you can pm me if you need more details.. glad you like them

FL Nick's RX3

Yo Nick, it's coming out sweeter than I saw it last on your phone. Wow you have done an outstanding job there my friend, outstanding. I may be getting a 74 RX4 that is in the same condition of your RX3 when you first got it, but I'm not going to the extreme like you on the body. I'm going to do the best I can to get it good enough to put on the road as fast as possible. Well keep up the good work, and I'll text you my new number in a few. Peace

can anyone help

Since it is ridiculously difficult to start a new thread on this forum anymore!!!!!
I really need this trim piece between the drivers door glass and the passenger glass. It is plastic and angled to cover the blue strip shown in the pic. I have stuff i could trade, or tell me your price. I could use both sides if you have them in really good condition. If not just the drivers side will work... thanks in advance for anyone who can help!!!
