Looks good ........
As said, they just slip over the sills and protect them well. I bought the clear ones so the red carpet will show through - but one thing that will happen is that they can get caught on a foot getting in and out and they will pop off easy. The solid colored ones would allow you to use a piece of double stick tape to maybe help hold them in place.

But, I am still glad I have them, and they look good, and perform as intended very well.

I have mine secured with Velcro. Since my carpet is black, I used black Velcro. I have long legs, so I was kicking the guard loose when I was getting out of the car. It works great.

I can't tell from the photos -- are those clear with white letters or black with white letters?
