    Can you send a photo for reference? Right off the bat, I'd say no because most trim parts, especially in the greenhouse area, are going to be different from a 2D to a 4D. I have parts books, so I'd be happy to look it up and provide original part numbers. I'm just not sure what you mean.

    The window seals aren't the same, so I don't see any way the trim would be the same.

    here are the part numbers for a 4 door I dont have a photo, just going off of what I have found on eBay so far.
    D1DZ-5442404/5-A
    if you could cross reference it that would be helpful.
    I realize most trim is different from a 2 and 4 door, these pieces look very similar . I'm researching to see if this may work, or if I'll end up doing something different.
    thanks

    The 2dr parts have different numbers, what the actual difference is I have no Idea.

    Interesting, thanks for posting.
    I don't have either to compare the two, would be nice to see them side by side to see if there is a difference, or how much.

    There is a difference. Nick Dominick didn't think so on his car...until he bought an NOS 4-door one, had it polished, and then realized it was not the same when he tried to install. I think it was longer.
