Rob,

The main benifit to side pockets is to be able to carry the handgun in the car and not to have it bouncing around behind the seats.

Thats what you meant. Right?

mine are just the ffr supplied pieces of vinyl but I liked the way they turned out. the manual said to run the material under the latch but I stopped it before that. They are very handy to have, to put in sunglasses, earplugs, hats and other odds and ends.

All standard FFR hardware... except for the addition of the carpeted bottom quarter... and the MGTF grab handles... to compliment the MGTF door latches. I like the look... ~

This is the panel I made for my EM. Shaped from hardboard, padded and covered. You could easily do the same for a FFR. Took me around 4 hours to do and cost less than $50.

Do you have any construction details?

My wife bought a pair of Ariel's pre-made-for-FFR door pockets for my birthday. I don't like the look of exposed screws on upholstery, so I looked for ways to mount them without using screws. At the suggestion of one of the FFCARS members, I bought some 'industrial' Velcro and used it to attach the panels. The only problem was that the constant pull of the elastic pulled the top corners away from the Velcro. To solve that, I bought some of those little plastic push-tabs that are normally used to hold plastic kick panels, etc. in place on newer cars. I only had to drill two small holes and snap in the push-tabs. It is not as clean as I had hoped, but the tabs blend in pretty well and look less obtrusive than screws IMHO.

KevinFromNorCal,

Sorry, I sort of fabbed these 'on the fly' so I don't have any written details. If you really interested, I could put together a brief outline of what I did and email it to you. It was actually pretty easy once I got started.
