I hate to steal this thread, but I didn't want to get flamed for starting a new one. I want to order the welt for my doors, but I'm torn between the silver tinsel (which seems to be popular choice), the silver gray, or white (as I have a white car and hurst shifter). Any opinions would be appreciated!

My interior is charcoal with the IUP.

Well, I've enjoyed the tinsel, but I must say the "fingers" of it are a little thin and I had to 3M it in some places. If I were to do it again I'd do silver gray.

I read that the tinsel also runs a little thinner overall than the traditional does..

How much difference can you tell between the silver and the red, thickness wise?

Since it's so cheap I think I'm just gonna order the silver gray and if it doesn't match well enough, order the tinsel. Or maybe do a split order.

I would try white since you already have a white shifter. Since the colored trim seems a little thicker than the tinsel ones, you could always paint it the color that suites you.
I wanted some in Vista Blue but at the time they didn't have it, so I bought some in gray and painted them blue. They've been in my car for 3 years with out any problems. My car stay outside so sometimes the temps inside get hot but still no problems with the paint.

I don't know how much I would like the white, I've seen it in a few pictures, and I just can't make my mind up. I have the IUP, and have added a billet shifter bezel (and am considering a few other acc.), but I don't want to go overboard. IF the silver gray matches the IUP then I will be ordering it, but if not, I guess I'm stuck with the tinsil or white.

I just got some more dark red in today. Did the top part of my dash and i have plenty left but im not sure if/where i want to add more. FYI you can email for samples and he will send a few 1-2" strips so you can choose a color. I have like one of every red plus black and white somewhere around here.
