My new door sills
Nothing spectacular but I thought I'd share.
After getting the car repainted a couple months ago I thought I'd give her a little extra something to dress things up. As you all probably know, finding nice door sills for a thirdgen is like finding a celebrity guilty of a major crime - it ain't happening.
But I found some guy on ebay selling diamond plate sills so I contacted him and asked if he could hook me up with either polished or brushed instead (I'm just not a fan of diamond plate stuff). So he sends me a pair of basically plain old stips of polished stainless steel. Next step is to recreate the "Camaro RS" logo and have decals made to put on these stainless strips. I topped it off with a little double stripe, just as a finishing touch. And yes, the stainless strips are just affixed with two rows of 3M tape.
The result is what you see below. It ended up being a bit pricey but what the heck.

The original sills are a one piece setup that wrap over and hold the carpet in place. I couldn't lose those without having to come up with some other way to keep that edge clean.

I checked out fitment before hand and I don't have any rubbing issues so I'm perfectly happy with it. Senior Member
