Default Sill Plates

I am buying new chrome sill plates for my 1980 from ecklers, anyone have any pics of aftermarket sill plates? I am not 100% sure exactly where to install them, I know I am going to have to drill new holes, just want to get a visual. Thanks for any help.

Should go where the originals are now and should not require drilling new holes. Got the AIM?

Personally, I don't think there are enough sill plate options on the market for C3s. I'd like to know where we can get sill plates other than the two styles offered by Ecklers and the other usual vette vendors.
