Default Z06 Specific (SS)Sill plates??

Are there any offered for the C5?? So far, I've only seen them for the C6, in this style:

Those are actually for the C5 . You can get them with the C5 logo/Corvette lettering or Z06 logo (as shown). I was really torn as to which to go with (they both look so damn sweet!)

I got mine through SS Inserts a while back for 75 bux for the pair. Kind of expensive but very high quality and they seem to be holding up quite well (no more issues with scuff marks on my door sills)

Too funny!! My reply back from them said they were C6Z06 plates in that pic!!

Anyways, what I'm looking for are sill plates to replace the Black (stick on) GM plates (seen in your pic with the Corvette Logo).

I wonder how much luck they'd have selling something with the C5 Z06 logo to C6 Z06 owners.

Ya know, that's a pretty good question!!

See, the reason I'm asking is simple - My car is in (for the next 3 months) getting stripped down, and painted. I told them just to pull the factory sill plates off, that I'd find something nice to put back on. I like these, but they don't cover the area of the sill that I want to cover..So I asked SSInserts "why it had the curved lip" and they told me it's because 'those are for a C6Z, not your C5'.

Sorry, I misunderstood you (you did say sill PLATES and not protectors... :o ).

What about something like these although these have the 50th anniversary logo on them:

50th Anniversary Billet Chrome Sill Plates

If you have an 03, they'll work

I didn't see any other logo available but maybe someone else carries them...

Those are the ones I have. They're real nice, except when there's no one in the passenger seat. The seat belt clip hits it and makes this tapping sound.
