New rule, whenever someone wants to talk trash they have to post a pic of there car first.

I might try the amazon item in red since there are little touches of it in the interior already in the dash, seat belt receptacles, but just the door panels separation between the titanium and ebony, nothing more, subtlety is my motto

NSF: Post photos if you use the red stuff. I've got a Victory Red '09 and the interior is really bland in Ebony. Usually I don't like to add these sorts of things, but the yellow really looked good on the O.P.'s car and I think the red would look amazing on your titanium/ebony doors.

I like it. The ebony interior does look bland after 10 years.

Wow....very nice! Adds a bit of "upscale touch!" If I could find a Torch Red match, I might be inclined.....

Really great idea. I'll try and order the red trim from Amazon. I couldn't find anything with prime so 4-7 day wait will have to do. I have an ebony interior, and red really ought to give it a nice touch. Thanks for this easy and cool mod, OP.

I was thinking of getting the trim in red also but it's 20 feet long and costs a lot more. Did you find a link with it in 10 feet? This is the same brand as they yellow that was linked; there are other red ones but the ratings on them are not very good.
