So I decided to buy some used and beatup door sills to try an idea my buddy and I talked about. I don't like the aluminum look on my MB cause it breaks up the door jam/interior to much so I decided to sand them,hammer out the dents and paint them black.
I think they came out great and match the interior much better....
Just wanted to share to give others an idea of what they can do to their sills...

 

Thumbs up!

 

Looks awesome. I really like it. I hope it won't scratch too easily.

 

Yeah... me too

Good thing I don't DD my 3rd gen so it will only see action on weekends.. I will eventually have them Powdercoated... just wanted to make sure my repairs came out good enough to have them coated without showing the repairs I made..

 

Looks fantastic!

Any pics installed?

 

looks great man pics of them on

 

looks awesome!!!

 

I will post pics once there installed.
I am going to use Velcro so I don't have any extra holes in the chassis.

THANKS for the compliments...

wow that looks gangster......... i want to pick up a crappy pair to powdercoat pink

 

Looks nice.

 

Gotta match that SNAIL you have...

 

NICE! I would also like to see them installed.

 

Looking good!! I had the same thought as you. Sanded, primered, painted, clear coated, velcroed...here's mine I just completed a couple of weeks ago. Not PERFECT but good enough for now...

 

looks great, good job. the lil things that go so far as to help the asthetics of the car

 

I thought about painting the RX-7 in green to match the car but my buddy, Papsmagu on the forum, suggested to leave it in GOLD to match my Bronze wheels...

I am gonna try to mount them tomorrow. The 7 is in the garage, between the heat and lack of room to work on the car, it makes it a little difficult..

The red/black matches covers in my engine bay. Eventually carpet will go to black

 

Great minds think alike right?

 

absolutely...lol

 

That looks great. Its hard to tell, is the "RX-7" part still that bronze or did you sand it to silver?

 

That "bronze" is really more like gold and its just a adhesive film. It looks to me that it was removed.

 

Looks great. Might have to do that to mine.

Oh YES... You are definitly an inspiration..

"That looks great. Its hard to tell, is the "RX-7" part still that bronze or did you sand it to silver? "

I left it in the "GOLD/BRONZE" color it comes in to match my wheels. I taped it off prior to sanding and painting the sills.

 

Here is my passenger side installed. As you can see.. the "RX-7" is still in gold..

 

Eddie, when did you get RZ seats?

 

Joe that looks really nice. Good work.
