Hello, I am a newb on the board and I was wanting to ask about these sill plates on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT Do they look like a good deal, worth buying a set?

IBTL - In before the lock. The moderators will lock any thread that violates the existing guidelines. Here's a link to the page with all the rules....

It might not get locked - you're not promoting these sills are you?

Actually they look pretty nice I think. A bit pricey perhaps but they look okay. If you buy 'em let the rest of us know how you like 'em!

Oh, okay, I guess I should clarify that I am not affiliated with the sale of these sill plates, just merely wanting input on them and if anyone has experience with them.

I thought no ebay links were allowed at all? But they look neat, but i think tehy will get skuffed, and do they just sit on top of the black one, or yo doy have to try to pull the black one off?

Edit , i just looked again and looked at the price, forget it, their is alot more i would rather spend my cash on, it might be worth 100 less than that.

They took some work to make and are NOT plastic.. so the price looks fair... (Of course it includes the dreaded Corvette tax) but it is still pricey... Hey maybe only a few will be sold making them COLLECTORS items!???

Anyway, Like the look, don't care for the price either. But I know I've spent too much for little pieces of plastic too!!



Oh yeah.. IB4TL

There is nothing wrong about referencing an eBay link with questions regarding a product, or in the interest sharing a new product with the forum members. However if one does this to promote their own action, or a friend's auction, or is in anyway affiliated, it's prohibited; Per Moderator Grumpy.

I kinda' like them

Not too crazy about the price, but still might be worth it if they turn out to be of good quality... I just wish I saw these a couple of weeks back (I will be posting in the upcoming days of a problem I have run into w/ a different door sill product... just waiting to put up some pics so I can get others' opinions)

?? My understanding was that NO eBay links were allowed at all (which seems a bit much to me), but I may have misunderstood. If the policy is as above, that makes much more sense.

Well if the price is the only complaint then I think I'll buy a set because it seems they are cheaper than most I have seen. Thanks for the input!
