Angry Singed door panel....

I wasn't sure where to put this, so sorry if this is the wrong spot...

So anyways, I'm in the parking lot at my freinds work, just talking to him about his gt mustang(just got a new clutch) and this girl I know shows up, and tackles me playfully in my car. Unfortunatly she is stupid, and figures "hey lets got wrestle with a ciggarete my hand in chris's evo that he's had for only a month and a half". I notice she has a ciggarete in her hand, and I don't let anyone smoke in my car. Not my own mother, not god, not anyone. I tell her to get out, but by that time, it's too late. Her ciggarete went right into the kinda cloth fuzzy part on the driverside door panel. Theres a blackish gray round spot the size of a cigg there right now. Now I am completely obsessed about my car, and am probably overreacting since this just happened like an hour ago, but how much would a new door panel run me? or does anyone know if the cloth fuzzy part can be replaced? If it's not too much, I will fix it. Just knowing it is there kills me., even if nobody else ever notices, I don't care, cuz I will. I looked on ebay, but didn't see anything. Someone, please help me!!!

Probably not worth trying to fix/replace.

Leave it. Gives the vehicle character.

If she was hot, it gives you a good story too ;-)


I obsess about stone chips on my paint, but it never gets me anywhere. Wear and tear is a part of the car, and if anyone gives you crap about it, tell them it's a rally car so it's supposed to be dirty and beat up looking anyway.

The fuzzy fabric is just glued onto a plastic panel. I've torn mine off from around the edges a few times when vacuuming out my car. I just stuff it back in with my key and it looks fine. I doubt the dealer would sell just the fabric, or just that part of the door panel. I would imagine you will have to buy the whole door. Your best option would be to either redo the fabric on all 4 doors with different material or keep your eyes peeled for a totaled evo with a good door.
