Choose a Door-Entry guard
 

Do you have?


I would like to install door entry guard, There are two kinds: stainless steel or carbon. Help me to choose.

Pics would be welcome. :cheers:


Boxster, Artic Silver. Interior: Nephrite Green, Black floor mats.




Happy polling!

So far, I'm not planning to get a door sill, so I voted none.

I wouldn't get carbon unless I had other carbon trim.

As for stainless, I understand it scratches easily and might not look good for long. For those who have stainless sills, what is your experience?

Here a pic!
:cool:

I bought some from a guy on eBay that manufactures them. Excellent fit and finish. He makes them with the Boxster logo or just the Porsche crest. I put the crest ones on mine. Here's a pic from his auction. I have them on a Guards Red one and I get compliments everytime anyone sees them.

I would like to buy OEM product...

Mine came with OEM Carbon Fiber Boxster sills... I couldn't imagine not having them. They match the Carbon Fiber/leather 3 prong steering wheel as well.

I am going to buy soon, more opinions..?

HI,

I bought my Carbon ones AfterMarket from a Guy who makes them up. They have the Boxster script inlaid. They are not the Full, Wrap-around type like OEM, but I prefer these in fact, and if you notice do mirror the length and width of the Interior Door Sill Trim - looks Balanced. They still serve to function very well as Scuff Protectors.

My DigiCam at the time was the ********************, so it doesn't do the best job of showing detail, and the 'Grain' is about 500% more pronounced than in person due to the Flash, but here they are anyway...

Door Entry Guard
 

I have a 1997 with the Stainless entry guards. They do scratch a bit, but easy to polish with P21S Multi Finish Restorer Polish. They look great and help preserve the car.

carbon all the way!!!

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

Could you pm me the link or the ebay sellers name? I love the look of those!

OK,

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

Hope this helps...

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.

At last poll won stainless steel and this same was my decision.
Here the results!! :)
