Default Sill Plate?

I think it's called the sill plate or cover. The plastic part your foot goes over to get in the car. Mine has gotten scratched up already with only a few thousand miles on the car. I guess I have to be more careful with my big feet because I scratched the bottom area on the door too. Is there anyway to keep this area free from scratches? I'm not talking about the flat part but he rounded one.


Nevermind I just found the correct sill covers. For some reason I thought they only made the flat ones. I hope these things don't have to be drilled in.

Anyone know how much the OEM ones are?

I got some nice polished ones from PFYC.com. They just stick on over the stock ones. They add a nice touch to the interior. Definately more durable than plastic.

Looks nice but silver trim is not for me. I prefer the OEM black interior look without logos.

Glad you found what you are looking for. Many vendors have the sill covers and they do help protect that area in addition to providing good looks.
