Door sills

Recently I have been looking into the vinyl GM door sills with a coloured C5 emblem. I was curious if anyone could post a picture of their door sills which will help me make my decision. If you could also post where you got them too, that would be awesome!

I have the Chrome sills from West Coast Corvette. They were one of the first mods I performed back in 2004 after purchasing my vert!

I've received many compliments over the years. Not the best picture of them however...

I'll take pix asap, but I have the standard sills, but I added decals from one of the forum vendors.

Yes, that is what I want but a silver logo instead. I need more pics though to decide whether or not I should go for it.

Here's mine on a stock door sill. Silver Cyberdyne, bought from National Corvette Museum. Hope this helps you.

I just checked NCM. They have them for $49.00 in 8 or 9 colors. 10% off if you are a NCM member. They look great when opening the door.

Frank, mine are flat decals. I paid 20 for the sills and 15 for the steering wheel. FYI.

Corvette Central has the sills:

and the logos:

Edit - Not sure why the sill link did not work correctly, however just search door sills under C5 Corvette and you will find them or follow the associated links off of the logos link.

Vette Works International has the 3D sill decals @ $49 pair. I got the chrome ones and they look great. As for the OEM GM door sills the best price was @ gmpartsdirect

Did your stock black vinyl pieces come off the car? Otherwise, the pic posted by Z28ImpalaSS is the stock vinyl with the 3-D decal applied to it. The decals do make the sill area look very good and the install is a snap.
