I would advice against the clear as it would crack and peel. If you are worried about it peeling off, get you some 3m 94 brushable primer, it makes the woodgrain almost impossible to remove, and it dries clear. To condition it, use Pledge, or similar product.

DS Door... am I right??
These look right.
Or are they just sitting on there for the pic? If so then you are probably using the same piece for all the pics. But I am sure the rear door is shorter then the fronts.
They look really good on there either way.
Am I calling out each door correctly? |
LowDough you got it right.
Thanks for the tips guys. I think I'm going to stay with the balck trim for simplicity.
Super secret update.... well just a tease....change is a coming.....
