Default Door sill's

I'm looking to purchase these carbon fiber door sills and was wondering if anyone has these?

Why are you asking? Not much of a question, try again.

They look like they have a shiny surface - which means they will scratch over time... You might want to look into a metal door sill that can be polished if it gets worn over time...

I just want a replacement factory style sill guard that isn't $80 for a $1 piece of plastic.

I have a pair without the logo. I picked them up used, and they did show some wear. I scuffed them up and laid on some fresh clear and they look like new, for a lot less money. As long as any scratches they gather over time are not deeper than the clear coat you can do the same when needed.

No need to go crazy with a ton of foam tape when you install. The more you put on the harder they'll be to remove without breaking later.

I also purchased a used set that were in poor shape, I had them hydro dipped, cleared and I put Jake chicklets on them, I've done a lot of mods to my car but these are my favorite for the interior.
