    Default Where to get Door sills?

    Hello guys,

    Could you please tell me if there's a good place to buy door dills?
    I saw them on ebay going for 80$+shipping...

    Is there anywhere that I can get for a lil cheaper?


    Thanks!

    I believe this has been discussed before but do these rub against the base of the door when its closed? I have heard that some of these do and eventually lead the door to rust as the paint comes off due to rubbing.

    I don't think these are any different then the L.E.D. sills. Make sure you clean the black portion of the sill it will sit on. Biggest complaint is that the double sided tape is not sufficient to hold the sills. I used more tape and 3 years later they are still on.

    If they come with thick foam tape, remove them and go to Walmart/Home Depot to buy better and thinner 3M tape - or even glue (comes in tubes). This would help to increase the clearance of the door sills and your door.

    You might also have to bend/reshape them a bit to make them more uniform with the plastic ones that came with your car.

    I have mine for 4 years and they don't make contact with the doors, they never came off either.

    do these just stick on top of the existing black scuff plates or do you have to replace the entire scuff plate?

    These are by far the best sills I've seen for our cars. Especially if you're doing up that Axela JDM theme. They are available in grey or black to match the interiors.



    $175.80 + Shipping for the PAIR.

    These ones are much better tho, they are embedded into the plastic... you replace the whole thing.

    Not like the cheap ones you get for $25 that you stick on top of the existing trim.

    Even if they could do a group buy you're not going to get the price reduction that you think. When you factor in the exchange rate and shipping costs you're at $190.80 U.S. before any price reduction. And that's for a pair. You'd only have the front door sills done. The backs would remain as is.

    I like them but they're too expensive given what they do.
