Yes, I am extremely happy. I have the deluxe interior option stock but I like these standard ones a lot better and since I don’t have original seats in the car, I guess it really doesn’t matter. Overall the quality in my opinion is impeccable even if you have to wait a little bit to get them. I don’t feel anything in our hobby is ordered in a hurry at least things like this so do yourself a favor order them early they’re made when you order them and don’t take a year to put them on like I did.

No vinyl? The one that came with my car 25 years ago and new was padded vinyl over ABS/polypropylene inner core. The obvious changes to original were the lack of rivets to metal inner brackets and no hole under map pocket for 8-track option. But certainly vinyl and a layer of sponge or similar. No idea what brand, cant have been many to choose from.

Received mine about 2 weeks ago. Was getting the cutouts for switches, sideview mirror adjuster etc were difficult? What else must be transferred from the original door panel to the new ones?

It is a bit scary to cut holes in new door panels...
 If you got the un assembled ones you need to move the plastic top curved piece over. That it a total pain,  especially if yours is broken into multiple pieces.....

Difficult?  No, I used an exacto knife as went slow.  Scary, yes  I have the assembled ones, which made it very easy

Just an assumption here as I work on a 1949 ford truck. Which could come with or without door cards. It literally is just a flat piece of cardboard like stock covered in material. So, maybe because its flate and kinda looked like a card??...
