ok ladies and gentlemen, I have updated news regarding these aftermarket sail panel boards.
I contacted the Ebay seller today that I purchased these boards from and expressed my concern regarding the lack of provisions for the "C" pillar mounted courtesy lights that all 1966 Coronet 500 models came from the factory with as well as other models that were special optioned with them. He said that in fact there are scored cut outs for these courtesy lights on his boards and that maybe I just missed them or that maybe the material might be covering them up. I then took a second and closer look at them and sure enough, they do have scored cut outs in place on the backside of them, so problem solved for me and I will be keeping them.
As far as these boards being covered in headliner material, I also spoke with the seller about that and he replied that he sells these boards in two versions, one that is covered with material and a second that is not covered in material. He also mentioned that most folks purchase the covered versions because of the difffculty owners face trying to install large one piece headliners at home and having to deal with issues trying to attach the headliner to the factory style uncovered sail panel boards, so once again I was very pleased with his response. If you just don't like the covered versions though, you can contact this seller and ask about the uncovered versions.
To sum it all up, I would highly recommend this sellers products and would also mention that his customer service and communication skills are excellent!
