The c6 covers will work but they overlap the joint for the rear side panel, if that panel or the sill has to come out you may damage the sill covers taking it off.

I'm debating on putting the SS sill covers I ordered for my c6 on my 15 cp they do look good and clear the door without sticking them on permanently.

This worked great for me. Width is perfect, just cut to length.

I ordered a roll of Xpel protectant directly from the company. Cut and applied it myself. Easy job and no problems.

It's easy to be careful as the driver of your own car but passengers are another story. For that reason I covered mine with Xpel Ultimate. I just ordered a small roll with enough material to cover them and did the install. I was a little concerned because of the raised portions of the graphics but found that the cured material conformed and covered beautifully.
