Sill Plate
Somehow, the passenger side sill plate saying CORVETTE preceded by the Stingray emblem has a crease in it. I'm sure it could be easily tapped out off the car.
Can it be removed w/o damage and if so, how? Not interested in experimenting if someone has done it successfully. I have a set of the trim tools Glen E and others have used successfully. Thanks, Don

I read these instructions awhile back.
Start by lifting the rear outboard corner of the sill plate up with a trim tool and carefully work your way forward lifting the plate as you go.
There are several tabs on the bottom of the plate that clip into slots in the door sill.

I could by the new plates before for about $70.00 each but they now have gone up to $160.00 each. You can find new ones on ebay from $50.00-$100.00 that have been taken off new cars that replace them with the stingray sill plates. Good Luck

I see them being sold at $160 for a PAIR, not each.
