Talk to me about door sill plates?

Hi,

I'm considering door sill plates. Is there anyone out there who has them on already who wishes that they didn't have them after all? I'm thinking about any issues related to the ease of cleaning around them, etc....

Please tell me some reasons why you already have them or why you chose not to have them: I'm all ears!

I have an ABM, so if I did get them, what finish would look best fromt he choices of polished, satin or black sills?

Thanks in advance. I understand that everyone's opinions are their own of course....

Love mine! Got them at Late Model Restoration, even my dealer said they were nicer than the factory. Clean them with Mother's Billet Polish and you'll have no problems. I have an RJT and got polished. I got them primarily because I was scratching the painted door sills with my heels. On ABM I would get polished or satin.

I ordered the "stock" chevrolet ones when I ordered my 2LT/RS. Love 'em. They look sweet.

camarokat, do you have any stripes or any kind of accent color on the car (other than the pink bowtie)?

Sort of... I have hood spears in gloss black. I have gloss black "1/2 gills" and I blacked out (gloss as well) that trunk section between the rear brake lights. What is that space called anyway?

I have pink bowties on the front, back and the wheel centers.

I still may have a photo of my hood spears in my album here...

well our camaro is the the ABM also and we have the matte black stripes. ive considered getting the black door sills. since you kinda have a the theme going there, i would consider the black ones as well. of course you could always get the black ones and then get the lettering painted the same color pink as your emblems!

I got my defenderworx - http://www.defenderworx.com/index.ph...=27&Itemid=22- Brushed Aluminum Door Sills from http://stores.ebay.com/Addicted-Auto-Accessories

6061 Billet, nice & thick - superb quality - yes they're pricey but worth the investment over the GM "decals"

Do these install over the top of the stock plates, or is it necessary to remove the stock plates first? Are the stock ones held on with 2-sided tape, and how easy are they to remove?
