Door Trim..Before/After pics

Ripped out the carpet crap, bought some thin aluminum diamond plate rough cut to size, then took a belt sander to it to shape. Painted it black and stuck it on with various adhesives which didn't hold long. Have since drilled and used stainless hex bolts. Enjoy

That actually looks nice. Not a bad idea. Nice little dress up. I like it.

Very cool and a heck of a lot easier to clean off any scuff marks!

I think the carpet matched the mud on the inside of the door better.

VaSheriff-You are correct the mud did match the carpet better....no love, do you know how to keep said mud from getting past the gasket/seal that is supposed to keep it out??

western star- The paint is holding up pretty well, on the rear barn doors it is peeling a bit from hauling stuff around, I used plastidip in a aeresol can for them but since there is a base coat of black it doesn't show through.

All others thanks for the comments

You know me.... I have an answer for everything!

The solution is to not drive your Excursion in rain or snow. And stay away from mud puddles as well.

I have never driven my Excursion in snow or rain. I have other vehicles sitting around. And if I need 4 wheel drive, I can hop in my daughter's new Eddie Bauer Explorer. She drives it in rain and aims for mud puddles anyway!
