I think they look good, I am more of a fan of the brushed stainless look, but those do look good, especially with the pewter

Depends on what type of color scheme theme you have going on. I dont think it will stand out as much as the one on the picture since it is on a black car,But custom is always a nice touch

I say "JUST DO IT!"

I've kinda just got a pewter and black thing going on on the outside. In the inside I have a my headrest embroidered in a pewter color along w/ black floormats embroidered in pewter.
I'm getting some aluminum pedals as well that I though would match nice.

I like the WS6 much better than the Firehawk, but would prefer they cover the entire area.....as I informed CJ also. I just think it should cover the ENTIRE step-plate.

JMOO for what it is worth, and at the price they are asking....whoaaa, gotta be choosey.

CJ originally had them at a great "into" deal of $150 I believe, but originally run about $160 -180. This was about six months ago when he first got them.
You had better call and confirm this price, as I could be off some.

I agree with 526, they need to cover or replace the entire black plastic piece. I have the G2 doorsills and matching pedals and Im not all that happy with em for that reason

$169.99 now. I like them but, I agree they would be a lot better if they replaced the factory sill altogether.

ACW- MBA makes nice sills to, but they are kind of plain.
$142 polished
$205 polished

I asked about getting them engraved, $150-$200 extra!, I wanted to get "Trans Am" etched through the metal. I didn't want to spend almost $400 on door sills.
When I saw the ones I posted above I though they were awesome, I just don't know if I like how they stick on top of the factory one.

I have similar type polished aluminum door sills in my 67 Camaro, and they scratch very easily If you have any dirt on your feet at all, and you brush them with your feet, they will scratch. Thats why I haven't got any for my 99 SS. Plus, if you don't polish them all the time, they will get dull very quickly, and again, if any dirt is on the panel and you close the door, they will scratch.

Get them clear pwdercoated before install - then there will be no maintenance. You can also polish them 1st.

I have the Edelbrock RPM Air Gap manifold for my vette polished and then clearcoated - stands up to even gasoline - and there is no constant maintenance to keep it looking good.

Plus powdercoating is cheap!
