    Door Threshold and Side Carpet Trim Options

    All,

    Doing the final interior install (finally)…

    Looking for some options/suggestion to clean up the door threshold area and the outside corner areas next to the door.

    Any/all suggestions are appreciated.

    This stair edge worked pretty good.

    Thanks all. This was the direction is was thinking about going. I will look into some trim options.

    Any other creative options/suggestions for the body to interior transition?

    I used some textured 1/8" ABS plastic to clean up the locking post area. Easy to cut to fit and then bend around the corner with a heat gun.

    I did the same thing, only mine is plastic. I like Chewy's better. The plastic breaks eventually.

    I got black anodized aluminum from online metals dot com. Blends in with the carpet better

    are you talking about the under door part of the body? most use that C channel trim piece to hide the transition. Dark water customs made a polished aluminum trim piece, but I think Chris is no longer making products. I actually had my hands on a pair of these transition pieces but sold them as it required some shaping to fit correctly and I didn't want to mess with it on a freshly painted car.

    Yes, that is the area and the kind of option I am looking for (I recalled see the dark water option but couldn’t find it)

    Any other options out there ??

    unfortunately, I don't think so.
    just checked DWCs website and it's confirmed that he's shutting down operations and is no longer a vendor.
