I got the trim piece for the right side door. It was for another model and needed cut down 3". I took it to my favorite sheet metal shop and my favorite desk guy simply walked back into the shop and cut it off on a band saw with a new blade. Took five minutes including a practice cut. I'll have to smooth it out with a file.

The piece is a little bent on the bottom. I am hoping it will not be that obvious if I put the bent part on the bottom side of the trim. Its also a bit grungy and will require cleaning and polishing.
