How do they look? Do they compromise any seals? I have them sitting in front of me but wanted some real world feedback before I went ahead with the install.

Thanks

they look good, gotta be some pictures if you search. if i remember you have to drill a hole but there is a rubber plug that fits in the hole and then the screws go thru the rubber. no problems here and i've had em for a couple years.

 

First buy a backbone before you start!

 

 

lol agreed!

 

They're just scuff plates. not dynamite. anywho if you are talkin about the silver ones that say rx7 on them just get some self tapping screws (screws with a drill type head to make their own hole) put them in the right place use a power screw driver and dril them suckers in. they look great!

 

whered u get em..i want some..

 

Thanks for the replies, I found a used backbone pretty cheap online, then proceeded with the install, looks great!

 

I have had these plates lying around for many years, I thought I lost them until after my last move, they mysteriously reappeared. I always liked the stock doorjam look, but finally made the decision to go ahead with this. I am glad I did.

Keep the stockers. The metal scuff plates...well...scuff lol. And it's real obvious. The stockers showed no signs of wear on my FD before I took 'em off.

The aluminum door sill scuff plates should come with a pair of well nuts per side for installation. You still have to drill 2 holes in the body, but you don't use self-taping screws. The plates themselves are not very sturdy - about as thick as tin foil. They will scuff and dent easily, and you'll wish you spent your money on something else more durable.
