Default C6Z door sill opinions

Hey guys. Looking for some feedback on door sill plates. Mine are chrome and just starting to peel a little on the driver side, so would like to replace both. There are a couple I like. I like the GM carbon ones, but don't want to be a poser haha.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/381931766786
My car isn't a carbon edition, it's a 06 z06 with carbon splitter, skirts, rear diffuser, spoiler, radiator guard, and badges. I don't want to be "that guy" throwing viper badges on a Corolla, or am I over thinking it in this case?

I also like these: https://www.corvetteguys.com/product...nt=19817574406

And somewhat like these:

I'm open to any suggestions or feedback as well, but am not a huge fan of bling, led's or chrome. Thanks in advance!

I agree on not wanting to be the poser guy. However the carbon ones look best to me and it matches the rest of your car.

I like the 3rd one best, but I like contrast.

Thanks! I don't have many pictures of it, I'll try to get some though!
It's all Katech stuff. It appears good quality. I'm on my third batch of carbon fiber panels for my 69 z28 (front nose, cowl hood, vent panel, package tray filler panel, deck lid, spoiler), and I think I'm just accepting that they all have flaws. Lol

I do like those! Same as my last link you think? I wish they didn't have the 505hp, but it's small at least.

I voted for number 3, can't use the Carbon ones unless it's a Carbon. Why don't you get a pair of the factory Z06 plates?

I think I bought them from RPI 4+ years ago, but I think they look the same as the 3rd link

Thanks for the feedback. I got a "potential poser" comment in there, and I reluctantly agree. I don't want to act like I have something I don't, so may unfortunately have to rule the first one out. Now I guess the options are the factory Z06 for $100 http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2013-Ch...1UPBL5&vxp=mtr, or carbon ones for $200. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Corvette-Doo...dYnJk7&vxp=mtr

opinion: Wouldnt go carbon, wouldnt use anything w 505, unless stock, but like third option, although its the priciest. That said, id go stock bc they are more economical...... Sill plates are hidden most of time, id put that money to another, more noticeable addition. Mho. Good luck w ur choice! Love shopping!
