Best scuff plates?
Who makes nice scuff plates for an FD? Mine are worn out. I don't like the silver metal ones, I would perfer black. Can anyone point me to a vendor that sells nice ones that are not too expensive ( > $200.0). Thanks.

You can always get the aluminum ones and paint them black (which is what I did). Granted, they are scuff plates so they are supposed to get messed up be the aluminum ones look nasty after some real use. I did a little sanding and some painting and they look better than they did before, IMO.

Here are Zerobanger's comments on how he painted & maintained his black door sills. His links are down right now, though

Sorry guys, I don't have any decent pictures of them. They aren't bad. The clear coat I used has held for 3 years so far and they still look the exact same as the day the paint/clear coat dried.
I used Krylon Acryllic Clear Coat (same thing I ended up using on my interior panels).

the scuff plates on our site were made directly from a mold of the new mazda aluminum scuff plates, so they are identical to those, the fit is fine, you see a little bit of a gap in that picture because i think they were just set on Attila's car for that shot. If you really want only black plates we might be able to do a Fiberglass one off set in black gel-coat and make it bit cheaper. Just e-mail attila if you're interested:
