Default Which sills??

White 94 w/ red/blk interior. Santa needs to bring me a set. Anyone w/ pics of the color combo that can help me decide?? I was thinking of the chrome w/ the logo, but would really like to see what they'd look like or what the general consensus is??

While chrome can look good, it'll stand out if its the only shiney part in the car. I vote black. It is simple and elegant.

I had black. They were nice, but they scratch. I now have clear and I like them

:iagree: the black ones have white writing and look good, but the clear ones have black writing and might contrast better with your red interior. the only thing that sucks about those sills for those of us w/ 91+ vettes is that the word "corvette" in in the "old" c4 style, i.e. 84-90 and i don't think it looks right. i may be being picky but i think they should make some "correct" ones for us too... :D

I picked up a pair of the clear ones for my '96. Looks real good.

One question though....why don't the sill protectors go the entire length of the sill? Mine only protect the "front half" of the sill and it's actually the back half that I use as a "push-off" point to help extricate my ancient body out of that cockpit.

Fab your own. All of the catalog parts are next to useless because they don't cover the part of the sill that you drag your butt across when you get in and out of the car.
