Sill Plates
Thinking about dressing my Vette up a bit and was wondering how some of you felt about changing sill plates. I have an '01-C5 and it now has rubberized sill plates on it with the embossed logo. I see in the various vendor's catalogs that they offer a decal to cover the embossed logo. Do most owners that have sill plates change the plate to a more professional plate like buying chrome polished plates or is it OK to just put the decal over the embossed logo on the existing plate?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I thought that I'd buy the decals and put them on and if I don't like them, then I would go ahead and get the sill plates and install them. Just not a big fan of 'sticking' things on.

I went with the 3D raised that I bought from the NCM.
Unless I misunderstood your last sentence, you're asking if it's OK to put these on YOUR Vette. It's YOUR Vette, put on whatever YOU think looks best.

All I added to mine were the logo decals and they look very nice. Just depends on the look you want to go for as to which mod to do.

Sill plates ?
I too went with the cyberdine raised emblem. But I used a 3M product called 'Adhesive Promoter' and even today three years after instaling them, it's like their welded on. People ask me all the time, "Did it come from the factory that way ?"I can't upload the pictures right now, don't know why, I was able to post pisc's only last week ?
