I got these and installed them about two months ago and forgot to post. lol :yikes: Anyway, here's pics! IK they're the old letters, I'm doing those throughout the car when I start (Err....resume) my interior. :yahoo: They're vinyl stick ons with an "Aluminum" finish.

Dope, where did you get them??

 

[donmateo]

eBay. $50. I like them, because they're a nice, subtle addition.

CHEVY IMPALA ALUMINUM DOOR SILLS -- SET OF 4 -- RARE!!! | eBay

 

[RyanZ17]

I'll be sure to look for some of those...


...after I replace my inner rocker panels and the rust infestation with them.

 

[ImpSS07]

I wish they made them in the 8th gen lettering. I've always like the way they sills look.

 

[WallyLO]

ohhhhh those are nice! if i woulda seen these before i def woulda got em

 

[WallyLO]

wait a minute. what happened to painting that woodgrain?

Agree - I have found stickers, but not the aluminum.

 

[WallyLO]

I plan to have some vinyls made for mine, but just letters, not a border. im pretty sure thats what dons are, just in an "aluminum" finish. they also have "chrome" and "carbon fiber"

Polished Door Sills: Impala & Caprice Store

They're a lot more pricey but also polished aluminum. Different choices as well. For the 91-96 B-body but I'm sure they'll fit on other generations. Otherwise you could call and get the measurements if you went that route. :wink:

Yeah, the woodgrains on hold. My car's got to go for some paint touchups at my uncle's shop. Gonna have him do it since my car will be out of commission for a bit anyway, and if I DIY, the door panels need to be out for a week. Plus it will look better pro. Now I gotta save up a few hundred for all the work.

NAIOA Shop - Door Sill Decal (Powered by CubeCart)

this is just front two but they have lots of color options

 

[WallyLO]

yeah those were ones i was considering

 

[TSS]

Yeah me too - those are the decals I was talking about. Problem is , they see some rough use, no idea how a decal would hold up - certainly cheap enough though to maybe evn buy two sets - one as a backup. I have bought a lot of stuff from NAIOA shop - good place. The sill decals always worried me though.

 

[donmateo]

It is only 5 year vinyl....

 

[TSS]

Its that kinda of talk that got you in trouble in the first place over there Don. They are six year rated.

2010 Chevrolet Malibu door sill emblems


I just ordered these aluminum GM "Scuff Plates" from my local dealer - they are stock equipment on new Malibus - $46.72 for both sides (front) from my dealer.

I have seen them in person and know they will fit and look good - plus they are real OEM GM parts - for whatever that is worth to ya. I had a rental, I will admit, and I peeled one off and put it in my car to see how it would look, then returned it to the rental car since I am not a thief. Continued to ponder ordering a set until this thread prompted me to do so. Supposed to arrive tomorrow or Friday.

 

[donmateo]

Looks nice! I wonder why no rears.

 

[NotAWimpyImpy]

hah....because everyone knows that kids getting into/out of the back will fuck them up, adults getting in and out of the front will simply step over them so as not to scratch or mar them in any way.

 

[TSS]

Yeah, no rears.. They are brushed aluminum, not decals or otherwise, so they are pretty sturdy (like Don's). I have seen some rental Malibus with 40K plus miles and the aluminum sills still look good. If they can hold up in a rental car, they should be fine if somebody drags their foot on it etc - but I do wish there were rears too.
I remember when I saw them in the new Malibu, my first thought was: Why didnt they include these in the Impala?
