avoid anything reflective. It requires upkeep to keep clean and remove scratches.
Go with the Carbon fiber and cover with some 3M vinly in a 80 mil thick grade like the kind I have on my headlights.

and post more pics of your green interior!

After seeing MNBoxster's sills, I have to go with carbon. Those are tight!

Jim do you have any more details on where you purchased those.? I like the smaller size, they really do compliment the interior door sill trim.

Hi,

It'll take a day or so to dig out the receipt... I'll PM you with it, unless someone else is interested. I'm positive they were under $100, less than $90 I think. I've received several compliments on them - as I said, they look much better in person...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

OK,

Here is all the info I have for the Carbon Sill Covers I got last year:

Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Smile Stainless Steel
I bought the original ones for a stupid amount of money, but they do look great. Just makes the entry to the vehicle look a lot cleaner. How are they supposed to scratch? You might get a scuff mark from a shoe but that's about it. I've had mine for over 2 years and barely a mark on them.

Ah, those are just like mine. I love them and they were the only mod on my car when I bought it!
