Hey guys-
As one who is always trying to save a buck if I can, I will relay the following. I looked into buying the magnetic vinyl and making my own panels a long time ago. 450$ plus seemed crazy to me as well. Yes the raw material is not very expensive, I think I priced it at just over $100 for black. Also the panels that are sold are not taller than 24" either. You have to use two pieces per door. So don't think they are any better in that way. The trick is that once you see these panels you realize that cutting your own would be an incredible undertaking. It is not merely cutting at every door seam. You have cut outs for door handles, logos and the gas fill area. After a while it becomes evident that creating these from scratch is very time consuming. So unless you are presently unemployed and have nothing worthwhile to do with yourself the cost really is not that bad. When I got a quote for fixing the deep scratch on my door it was 350$ the panel cost didn't look so bad anymore.
