I've been meaning to post a couple photos of my doors. They turned out pretty nice... Abby at Flightline Interiors provided the fabric and trim strips.
Cheers,
Jay

Nicely done Jay!
I'm curious about the decision to stay clear of the door edge. In my
case, after carefully fitting the doors without the trim, adding the
trim changed the fit just enough to put everything out of kilter. I'm
still trying to straighten it all out.
Good idea to stay clear but it must complicate the task of gluing it all
down and maintaining an even outer margin.
Is this a new Flightline option?
BTW, I'm very happy with my Flightline interior. The fit was fantastic
and it continues to evolve with enhancements. Though I did zero sound
insulation, the amount of sound reduction from the carpet and fabric is
amazing. And my rear tail panel is still uncovered... may just paint
it. Very satisfied!

One additional photo is attached.
Nope. Not a standard Flightline option.
The edge was actually pretty easy. From the photo you can see where I drew a line around the inside edge of the closed door. Then glued the fabric close the the edge. Finally, finished up with a trim strip. The edge trim provided the special sauce as it dressed up the ragged cut line. If you go that route, the trim is the same as for the windows... except there's no hard inner plastic piece.
You should also note that the photo shows half vinyl, half fabric. That was a non-starter as the vinyl kept popping out of the glue no matter what I did. Very frustrating. In finally just cut it out and added an extra piece of fabric and hid the edge with another trim strip.
Making the AL access panels was a custom job by me after a failed attempt at making them out of glass. The AL ones look better by far.
Abby was helpful and patient while I worked my way through door design iterations and questions. She also made several custom access covers to match.
Cheers,
Jay
