I'm against the black since they blend in with the large plastic thresholds. Aluminum offers a nice contrast.

I've deleted everything and have gone with a total monochrome look. It's the only place on the car where there is silver/gold at this point, so I'd love to remove the last piece. It's entirely a personal aesthetic decision though. I do agree that it will make them blend in more, but it also ensures they don't show dirt or scuffs as much at a practical level too for me.

I have the basic in plastic and want to upgrade with alu in black. I think they are mounted with clips on top of the basic one and should be easy to swap. But I’m not sure. If someone could try and post a picture that would be helpful. A full set of door sills in black alu is around €400.

It's odd because Suncoast and other places usually include a document on the installation process or link to a service manual procedure. These don't seem to have it anywhere that I can find. I may just try and give it a go myself later this month. If I do, I'll take pictures and write something up.

did you get this price info from your dealer or did you find it online? I'm also looking for the black all to replace the ugly plastics

I got it from my dealer but it turned out to be misleading. The price was barely for one side. I took a closer look at how it is fitted an concluded with leaving it as is. Now I don’t bother anymore ?

As a result of this thread and most importantly having seen a nicely illuminated set of sills at our dealership — which my wife loved, we are going to “find” the $740 (USD) to include them in our upcoming order. Funny how the initial budget “limit” we set keeps moving upwards. Wonder as my SA predicted, whether on ordering day due to last minute added options, it climbs several thousands more. LOL, we expect so.

You will love them. I was driving a friend’s Turbo S for some time that had them and they look amazing!
