Still undecided on final finish for alum trim ring…

These look killer. What do they sell for and how do they mount?

Thanks for the compliment, no pricing quite yet but they mount using the factory hole pattern. I most likely will provide a drilling jig.

Well it’s been a while but think I’ve finally settled on the final trim ring for my upper door panels. CNC’d with an accent detail that can be left natural or painted, maybe wood grain if someone had the patience.
After all said and done the price for what’s shown, time and materials is $300 set so unfortunately not to competitive with others that are for sale.
Thanks for looking and still making Map Pockets.

Those are some really fine looking door panels.

It's nice driving a clean truck that shows well on the road on a nice day ... it's even nicer when the interior appointments are attractive too.

Thanks for the compliments, it takes quite a bit to get all the parts in order to make it repeatable. Hopefully I’ll sell a few to cover costs and buy more truck parts, just trying to provide something that isn’t readily available.

Yes, I am selling them now, I have a ad posted that gives details. It should be linked to my username.
I haven’t sold any in a while and probably be a 3-4 week lead time.
Thanks for your interest.
