Default Any interest in carbon door sills?

Hey guy's, I've had a few pm's to see if I could get some made. I have talked to G3 Composites about making these for us. Im just curious what kind of interest there would be for these. They would just mount with double sided tape. We would probably do a group buy on these to get them out there. For the C6 we normally do about $225 for them with the letters painted. For the C5 there may not be a paint option unless we somehow added the Corvette lettering to them (instead of just the C5 flags) Below are some pictures of our C6 sills.

YES YES YES and HELL YES. I have been waiting since I got the lip and side skirts.

BTW, I'm not sure if I thanked you or not for using my car's pic on your website. Kinda makes me feel like a celebrity.

Did I mention that I am interested in the sills...

Lol, no worries, your car is beautiful. I have someone donating their OEM sills so we can get these made. Just would help if I could show G3 that there is a lot of interest for these.

These would look really nice if they have the C5 logo and/or C5 lettering with multiple color options!

Hey guy's, what do you think of no logo and just have the "CORVETTE" lettering like the C6 ones? I was thinking it would look cleaner, then we could offer the paint options like we do for the C6 (in C5 colors of course)

Dumb question but I will ask anyway. The word "Corvette" will be in C5 font and not the C6 font correct?

I think for sure it would have to be C5 font, im sure most would not want them if it was C6 font.
