Here you go guys... Managed to snap these quickly today. Will post better ones later. I went with the grey piping. It matches the contrast stitching very well.

Just finished this today. I used camo vinyl sticker sheets from amazon to camo the bezel a long time ago. I recently purchased the orange piping and installed it today.attachicon.gifIMG_0513.JPGattachicon.gifIMG_0512.JPG

I have the cocoa/dune interior, summit white exterior and thought the orange would look good. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

So all of these look good, and I've decided to try it on my 06. Won't be as flashy as you guys with the K2 trucks, but I'm okay with it. I went with steel blue for mine.

No hate here! I've been wondering if anyone's used it on their older trucks, I'm sure it will still make it pop! Post pictures of you can!

I'll have pics for sure. After looking I think the only place it will really work is on my door panels. We'll see how it works out.

Installed matte silver piping earlier today. The matte silver matches the stitching in my truck nicely. Thanks to everyone for the idea and for the tips! The fronts went in smooth as butter. Literally took about 10 seconds each. The rears on the other hand were a pain in the butt, as seems to be most of y'all's experience. After trying and failing to start from the edge of the door and work my way in, as I had on the fronts, I eventually had to line the piping up and try and find the "weak spot" in the groove between the plastic and leather. On each rear door, there was about a one inch spot somewhere along the seam that the piping slid into, at least partially. From that weak spot, I would then work my way out on both sides. Used a plastic windshield ice scraper to wedge the piping into place in the difficult rear doors. Very pleased with how it came out in the end, especially considering it only cost me around $12 including shipping!
