Gen1 to Gen2 door panel conversion

I know it's been done before. I'm not sure if it's really custom or hard to do. I'm going to have them off soon for a speaker install. Anyone care to chime in?

For comparison:

Thay don't match up at all. Thats why I didn't do it. I learned the hard way. I just used the chrome trunk button and the chrome handles and that was it.

That makes me sad

MrWilson are you crazy? Look at how cheap and ugly it is compared to the Gen 2.

The Gen 1 panel looks AWESOME if you do it right. Heres mine.

i just may be...a little. I like the way it feels when you rest your arm on it. If i could trade out some chrome and trim, it would be much better

The plastic on a GEN II door reminds me of our old 1996 Sable. Same stuff, even the door light is from a Taurus/Sable. Not bad, but the GEN I stuff is way better.

Geno jesus christ, that looks so good I thought it was a Gen 2. That's what I had in memory when I made this thread, I wondered why you said you didn't go through with it!

Details on how to fix it up?
