RPI door panels PITA
The quality on the paint job is top notch, however the installation is not so simple as they claim. I have never had to so much custom work to get something to fit in my car.

Just painted door inserts? What did you have to do that is custom? I have done 2 sets and found it pretty simple.

Didn't have a problem with mine, easy as long as you have the correct screws

I had a friend that works for a custom shop look at them and he agreed they were really bad and would take some serious "re-working" to make them fit. This is just a few of the dozen or so pictures I have of the fitment problems. I contacted RPI about them several times and they ignored me. I finally found a phone number for them and they never answered it. They ignored me for a few months. Luckily I paid for them with paypal, so I was able to file a claim. A rep from paypal contacted me and asked for all the pictures and agreed they "appeared to not fit correctly." RPI ignored paypal's "request for information" for 6 weeks. So finally paypal forced a reversal and I got my money back after another 2 weeks... I finally stripped my cloth ones and sanded/painted them. It took some work, but looks great and save a bunch of money. Screw RPI.

WOW took off my passenger side panel just now and not a single hole lines up where the stock panel goes. I am very disappointed with this product in terms of fitment. Looks like i have another 5 hour job ahead of me.

I battled mine too. I only had 4 or 5 holes that didnt line up on both panels and had to cut and dremel to fit. It was a PITA but they turned out good.

So after looking more at my passenger side door panel i found out that the amount of work needed for the panel to fit was unbelieveable. So now i have to call them and see if they will send me a new one.

Finally got in touch with them they said to take pictures and then send them to us. Hopefully that means sending me a new door panel.
