All black? Or will the interior part of the seal be painted beige (as applicable) as it is in the D1's?

Black. I may be incorrect but I believe all available replacements are black. However, I would like to provide beige as an option for you rivet counters, so will be looking into that.

Progress continues! Meanwhile, I'm trying to better understand the changes LR made to seal design over the years. My product research samples have been helpful, but more data points are appreciated. If you feel obliged, send me pics of your seals. Let me know the year, model, and which seals are pictured. I'm interested in early and late D1 and RRC passenger and cargo door seals. Clear, hi-res, multiple angle shots are best to determine exact design.

I'll take a set of LWB rears. I've already replaced the fronts with D2 like news.

All black is best for me as I redo the interior in black trim/carpet/seats/headliner and belts.

Surprised nobody mentioned tail gate seals... Or do those have an option already that I don't know about?

Great job on the site. I didn't realize you were planning on taking the concept this far. If the level of interest here is any indication, it will be a successful endeavor. Another idea for marketing would be to make a 30-second video illustrating the performance benefits of the upgrade. I imagine lots of Rover owners don't even think about replacing this part but once they see a clip comparing their squished old door seals to the models you're offering, they'll jump on it. Just the sight and sound of a door closing snugly with new seals compared to factory originals will, ahem, seal the deal.

No illusions of grandeur here. Nonetheless, if I’m going to offer a product, however modest, it will be presented as best possible. The site also helps to track orders so they can be processed efficiently and orderly, for everyone’s benefit. I’d like this to be an enjoyable and sustainable endeavor for all.

I like the video idea. Photos and instructions are also coming soon.

Wow. That site looks great. Can’t wait to try a set out. As I get older/ I am probably already there, wind noise and tire noise are more annoying then they used to be. Lol
