Having your car's door panels reworked is a big custom auto interior project, and one that you will likely not try unless it is part of a larger overall plan to remake the interior spaces of your car. There are five basic reasons for having your auto's door panels reworked, and we'll cover them briefly, below:
1 - As part of the final touches to a greater "redesigning" of the internal spaces of the car. Generally this goes hand in hand with the set up of a brand new stereo system for the vehicle, as the door panels may require a certain amount of customization to accommodate a new speaker configuration.
2 - If you're restoring a classic car and want to return it to its original factory condition (or similar). Here, unlike above, you are trying to add something new, but rather, restore it to the way it once was.
3 - Often, if there is severe damage to one or more of the door panels, it can create severe noise problems inside the car, and necessitate a replacement for the damaged part. If this is the case for you, then you have actually got two choices. Either have all the panels changed so they look the same, or only replace the damaged one (with the understanding that if the vehicle is older, then even if the material is a perfect match, they will likely not "look the same" because of the age difference in the material. The last option is obviously inexpensive, but it is a trade off.
Unless you are having work done on a vehicle you're very familiar with, or something like a kit car, you're possibly going to want to have those carpets replaced (or at least taken up) as part of a general sounding of the vehicle to check for underlying damage. And, if you are doing a restoration or a general refurbishment, then a carpet replacement (sans floorboard repairs) can be a quite economical addition to your overall custom auto interior plan.
That is but one of a great number of services that a good custom auto interior specialist can perform for you.
