Default Door sill question

I have seen different OEM door sills. One that says Corvette and one that says Stingray. Can someone tell me the differences? i.e. are they for different years, different models, is one rarer or more expensive? Thanks in advance for any insight.

It's just a preference thing.
Many owners like to modify their C7s, and of course companies make $$$ manufacturing/selling these mods so are happy to offer alternatives to OEM.
I prefer to keep mine stock as I feel Corvette designers have done a pretty good job over the years.

My Stingray sill plates were ordered with the car from the factory and installed by the dealer.

My Premier Edition came with the optional "Stingray" sills. As stated above, this is a dealer installed accessory.
