I got jealous of the nice aluminum door sill plates in my wife's Mini and even my lowly Toyota. So, I decided to one-up:



What's better than aluminum plates? Stainless steel, of course. I had a machine shop laser out plates from 0.7mm bright annealed 316 stainless steel sheet. I then laid down a vinyl mask to cover what I wanted to remain polished. I used 70 grit aluminum oxide to media blast the letters.



I cleaned up the plates and used very thin 3M VHB to attach them to the original plastic sill plates.



I think they look good, but I am a sucker for shiny things. As usual, I made some extra ones (Talon and Eclipse) for anyone interested. See the for sale section about that.

You know, corbin, I wish the community had more of you. You excell in everything you do.

Could not have said it better.

Awesome! They look like they belong there.

Look forward to the FS post.

Well done, Corbin, as always.

Damn, I would like a set but I don't own either. Hah

If I get enough interest to do another run, I'll take some custom orders (Avenger, Big Evil, etc). There is a lot of setup work for each step, so I have to make a bunch at a time.

Wow, I really like these.

Great job.

Not too bad... how much?
