sorry mate didnt see your post.

are you talking about the scuff plates or the paneling on the doors them selves on the inside?

i think as long as its off anoter NB it should be fine as the are more or less the same car, but im thinking custom maybe the better option.. really depends on what your after i guess..

i wouldnt mind getting mine redone in leather with orange stitching but its not cheap be looking at like a grand or so i'd imagin so if you can find something from factory thats cheaper it maybe the go.

how do the latter models trimings change? you have any pics of what you have in mind?

The NB8A have one of the attachment screws in a different place to the NB8B so I'm not sure if they are directly interchangable. Try to find someone near by with a NB8B and try a swap. There's only 3 screws, 3 pull out clips and some snap clips that hold the trims on. 5 mins to change. You could probably get the mounting hardware from the later car to fit the earlier car without to much trouble.

Thats the standard NB8B door card with leather inserts. I have leather on the bit near your elbow in my car. The guys that trimed my seats did the doors at the same time. If you can get a 2001+ door card to fit your 2000 model then any good auto trimmer can add the leather. Blackman and Sons at Carringbah did my car.
