C5 Sill Protectors
Looking for recommendations for sill protectors to cover up scuff marks on my interior driver's side door sill. Only want to protect the top plastic portion of the sill not the lower part which includes my C5 logo. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Mid-America, Eckler's, and West Coast Corvettes all offer slip on sill protectors that cover the entire sill area. You can get them in clear or black. I have the clear ones with black Corvette lettering and they look good and allow my C5 logo on the lower portion of the sill to show through.

I originally ordered the same ones but I did not like the shade of black that was on them - it is more of a flat black and did not match the rest of the black in the interior. I sent them back and got the clear ones. Hope you like that color better than I did.

I ordered the black ones because I want to cover up some scuff marks on my original sill. Do you think the scuff marks will show through the white ones if I decide to return the black? Thanks for your input.

If you can see the scuff marks now, then you'll be able to see them with the clear protectors on the sill area. Have you tried something like a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to try and get the scuff marks off the sill?

These are from Corvette Mods - - a bit pricey, but I think they look good and don't show scuffs . . . I suppose you could put a logo on them, but I didn't.

I tried Back To Black with no success. Haven't tried Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.
