Looks cool . . . only concern that I'd have, is the fact that it's a different pattern than your existing sill covers . . .

Quite

at that!

CF? Naw . . waiting 'till MMS is done before adding anything. 1/2 way tempted just to buy the raw materials & fit myself, but still looking for kits . . . engine, and interior.

dan-wait 'til the interior kit comes in then see how you like it all together-I know you want QUALITY-you don't seem convinced.

breathless performance also make a sweet cf door sill, similar to that one-lots of clear coat

My choice would be the ones on the toolbox.

I have those on my Z as well. I think they look nice. I bought my Z from the original owner that way so it has been there all the time, but it goes well.

I also have them on my Z too, looks

**panzer** · 01-16-2003, 06:48 AM

Doesn't the coating on the carbon fiber piece 'scuff' 'scratch' 'get damaged' just like the original? I guess this is present to change the interior appearance not to provide protection for the stock door sills?

**blkZ06** · 01-16-2003, 07:52 AM

I have chrome ones on mine-yeh, it's more for looks than protection but I would think the CF would show less wear than my chrome huh?

The surface of chrome, a metal, has to be harder than the resin covering the carbon fiber matt. Shoe soles would scuff it the CF easier I think. I have a harder time not hitting the door speaker cover with my long legs and shoes when I have to park and squeeze out in tight parking spots. Our doors are pretty long.
