Default Sill plates for a C5

Anyone have any input on a good sill plate and who sells them. I look at ebay and there are stainless ones, clear ones and even ones from Rennen which are CNC stainless steel machined from brushed aluminum ( must be super magic to change them to stainless steel from aluminum by machining, weird huh?)
any input from anyone on a good set would be appreciated

I have a brushed stainless set that the dealer installed over the sill hump. They have a clear plastic insert in the middle with "Corvette" silk-screened on it. It's backlit at night in a purplish-blue color. I have no idea who makes them, but they tacked on 700 bucks for the option on the window sticker. Of course I didn't pay it. Looks very cool at night though!

Sounds exactly like mine. Guess the dealer had a wee-bit of markup on those puppies. Very nice, and I didn't know they were polished aluminum. Thanks!
