I'd love to tell everyone to run dental floss under these plastic sills to get them off but it just didn't work at all for me....oem adhesive was heavy underneath so I had to resort ot another option, which turned out to ge great!
If you do this mod yourself, go buy some interior molding removal tools...found here:

Use these and you can pry them off without scratching paint or killing your hands. The one on the passenger side was very stubborn, but I finally got it out after it broke into 3 pieces....
Make sure you have some
Goof Off too. Spray this on the oem adhesive for a couple minutes and use the molding tools to scratch it off. It won't scratch the paint I promise...just don't go too hard at it and let the Goof Off do it's job...Then wipe down a few times with towels to remove, and repeat the process until all the adhesive off and you have a bare paint finish left.
All I can say is that this took about an hour + to get both sides of the car, but the oem Tequipment door sills in stainless steel are definately worth the upgrade. Wow, quality and finish is second to none.
I can post some picts if anyone wants to see them. Just at the office killing time for a 700pm meeting. Wish I was out driving. Damn it's so nice here this evening.
