I always used the body. Doesn't break, doesn't need additional installation, nothing extra hanging inside the door. Just a few fingerprints that are going to get there anyway.
But then I may not be the best guide, certainly not a beacon of shining light, I used Sharpies to touch-up stone chips, lots of Sharpies.

I used to think I needed a Rolex watch, now I’d be happier with a Swedish K!
Thank you. I have been looking at those you posted as well as these.

Are you going to install door cards? If not, the big hole in the Coupe door with the frame behind it can be grabbed to pull the door shut. On mine I did both kind of. Made door cards but left the area where the door openings are open and put storage bins behind. Then braced the lower edge so I could use it to pull the doors closed. Works great. Pictures and more details in my build thread.

That first pull would go well with the door limiting strap as it has the exact hardware.
