As an update for everyone else, I've had mine on for over a month now and have had no problems with it coming out or anything. Even the piece around the shift boot has stayed fine with the one small piece of double sided tape holding the seam together. Some of the best $19 I've spent!!!

I used a spiral nail to hold the ends together. I also cut the material a little longer so it was forced together at the ends in case of shrinkage.

I finally got around to picking up some door trim welt and installing it. Hope you enjoy the pics, it is a super easy mod and makes the inside look much better. I was originally affraid it would like too ricey but I think it came out really nice.
I decided to go with the Silver Tinsel color since I have a black car and don't have another accent color other than the silver from the IUP. Body color matching looks pretty cool too. They have a minimum order of 15ft but it is still only $19 shipped so it's a pretty darn cheap mod.
Installed on both doors
I also installed it around my shift boot. I like it significantly better than the billet boot covers you see out there.
I got the idea from Octavio so thank you!! Click Here.
Mr. Mike also put out a new page for ordering that is not listed but here is the link. Click Here.

I went to my local upholstery shop and they sold me 20 feet for 10.00 cdn, he wanted 20 untill I told him that I can order it for 50cents yard. He did not have the tinsel but i got the satin silver welt to match the outside, it is a 90% match!, I will have to trim a little of the back so not to stick out so much. Wat a great idea! it looks great. I think I might also do the sunvisors as well.

RE: Door Trim Welt - With Pics!
I'm so glad I saw this thread ! For those of you that may have some questions, I ordered on 5/15,..... within 2 hrs MR MIKE confirmed my order, and the product arrived on 5/17. TOTAL 1000% service and quality product.
I've done the driver's door in poor light, in a "slight stage of drunkeness". VERY EASY install, but, I've quit for the evening, still looks good, but, I'm gonna wait for the better light in the morning,and the sobriety, it will bring.
I can't wait to get back at it !!! I'll post pics when finished, doing some creative stuff that I feel will be a total enhancement of the interior.
THANK you AZIRAPHILE for starting this thread.
I'll keep you posted.

TY lldsandsll, but I can't go "drifting", as I'm "drifting as a walk". I just applied some RED between the headliner/ door / rearwindow, and I think it looks very nice,NOT rice. It breaks it up very well, but that's it for now. Poor light, poor visibilty, poor sensory management, and I need to euthanize a 12 pack of BUD.
I'll keep you posted.............PICS to follow.
