i8 Carbon Fiber Door Sills - Custom
I'm looking to make a custom set of carbon fiber door sills given everyone always kicks/drags their feet on the plastic ones we have (unsightly).
Who is interested in making a custom run of carbon door sills? I found a high-end manufacturer who would be able to do this for $2,450 per pair (driver/passenger). It includes return shipping. Does not include the few bucks of new clips/screws to replace the original (they always break and such). I'll have the part numbers for that taken care of. Please send me a PM if you're ready to go. I want to do this, but it only makes sense to make as a run of 3 unit(s)+ Thanks! Some of his work below: |

Carbon
The pieces look nice and high quality.
My wrap/tint guy does a lot of very high end work and has indicated he can put a durable, carbon wrap on my sills, with clear on the center logo section. I may go that way. |

Looks great. Almost exactly what I want, but I'd like the PI center silver section clear covered, if my guys can do it well. Thanks for posting the pix. |

$2400 a pair for door sills are you completely out of your mind?
What am I missing here? There is custom shops who do the Carbon fiber wrap for a few hundred bucks |
