Thread: Elephant skin door panels

    Elephant skin door panels

    Hi,

    I have a pair of elephant skin door panels in very good condition, but someone has cut speaker holes in them.

    The cards are in good shape with no deforming , both sides have the edge trim without any damage. The last picture shows the material from the backside.

    I am asking $250.00 for the pair plus shipping

    Thanks, RickElephant skin door panels 001.JPGElephant skin door panels 002.JPGElephant skin door panels 004.JPGElephant skin door panels 005.JPGElephant skin door panels 007.JPG

    i didn't realize that elephant skin was offered any year except '68.(?) those appear to be LWB door panels.

    Hi Everyone,

    My apologies, these are not Porsche elephant skin. I am used to dealing with BMW 3.0CS trunk panels that are also called elephant skin that has the sane look.

    Sorry to get everyone so excited so quickly, it's just like taking a hot chick out on the first date!!!

    I think that I may just keep these for a couple of projects that I am working on. If someone wants to make an offer, maybe I will sell them, as a door panel, they are in great shape even with the stupid speaker holes.

    Thanks again Rick

    It's 2015. Why can't someone make a legit Elephant skin texture copy?? I mean exact! Has anyone worked with latex transfers? (Hollywood/FX make up stuff).

    not to chase a separate subject, but i've never taken a 'hot chick' out on a date, so i wouldn't know....

    ...it probably would be best if you guys didn't mention this to my wife....
