I went to my local Tru Value mom and pop store. They helped me put the pieces together.

If you dont want to drill into your car you can do this.

As i did go and buy some high strength velcrow and stick it to the car and sill. Nice wide stuff not the chinsy small strips. Next go to Home depot and buy some lil caps. They come in chrome and fit perfectly over the whole in the sill. Use a little silicone and stick the flat cap over the whole and your done. No drilling and the sills are removeable if you have too.

I had atihun's site bookedmarked for the longest time showing how to install their CF sills.

I remember DamonB had a better idea but could never find the old post

This is my vote and how I installed (but removed later) some AL door sills. I HATE drilling holes in my car.

Works great! been stuck to my car for a coule of years now with no probs. A lot more ease on the mind knowing you dont have to drill into your car.

Just for a heads up, the caps i was mentioning almost look like a snap button. Just a dome that you place over the hole.
