Thanks!

Sure did! A local Auto Body Shop matched the color to my Jeep, and painted the outside of the Door Panels for $200. I wanted to leave the insides black, like they came, so it would match the interior better.

Cheers!

Mine were mainly a problem in the curve at the bottom and coming up to the latch. Yours look like they fit a little better than mine. Water would splash inside on mine when driving through the crack. And of course would come in when it rained.

Paint looks great. I hope you have better luck with yours. They sure do look great. I am sold on the concept on the doors. I guess I had a bad run. Got mine first part of this year.

Here are a few shots I took when I got home this afternoon, with the top down.





SALTMAN: When I had it out in the sunlight today, I did see some small gaps from the inside, where the weather stripping didn't cover all of the spaces. So, a quick trip to O'Reilly's Auto Parts, and I picked up some Peel-N-Stick Door Seal. Gaps' gone! I don't intend to put the Full Doors back on... ever... so I'm not worried about the Weather Stripping being in the way.

Cheers!

Looks good man. I really enjoy mine too... they have a little bit of a gap, but not enough to really bother me. I ran the elements only until about a month ago, but decided to go with the full doors for the fall/winter so that I have the luxury of power windows.

The look great.

I wish I had room in my garage to store my full length doors, which I am not willing to give up with my hard top, so I could also have a set of half doors.

I need a barn for my JK, a shop and its parts.

Thanks Saltman! I really LOVE those Doors! I can still lock them with a Key, so they don't grow legs and walk away!

Here's the latest graphic I added to my hood:



Now it looks closer to my Avatar:



I cleaned it up a bit Saturday, and removed some of the Dashed Stripe Kit. It started looking too much like a Construction Vehicle (aka TONKA).



Thanks for the comments, Shipmates!

Cheers!
