I think the illuminated sill plates are a nice touch. Also, check out the C8 icon that GM applies to the floor mats. It is highlighted by the underdash light.

Thanks for the pics and opinion. It adds to the appearance.

If you check a lot of these sites, they no longer have any or their on back order. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The Stingray icon looks cool. My GM floor mats just have the V logo. I've not seen the car icon before. Maybe they changed for MY '22 or you have different style floor mats. Can't tell by the pic. Mine are the rubberized all weather ones.

Sadly, this thread is pretty old and he passed away last year. His son has posted about it. Thread

It is sad.

The thread topic still carries interest, though, it would seem. The lighted threshold's discontinuance has created rarity and upward price pressure.

Yes, my point was not the fact that an old thread was dusted off, but that the person I was responding to said he sent the OP an IM. I was letting him know that the OP had passed and he obviously would not be getting a response.
