When you suggest paint to match body color? Paint what if they are chrome?

Or....you suggesting the color of the engraving to match body color?

Yes......:thumbsup:

I am interested in SS engraved with ZR-1 (two sets).

Something like the ZR-1 engraving on the SS Air Box :cheers:

Heres mine,made these years ago.Not sure if this is what youre talking about but they work for me.This is the only area that isnt protected and Ive never seen anything in the aftermarket that covers this area,plenty of stuff for the high sill area as you know.I cant imagine the OP having something made thats already out there so it must be for the painted area on the top of the rocker.If this is the area in question keep in mind that this area isnt flat,it has a gradual twist as it moves towards the back of the car,you can see this at the front of the panel.[IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...M/DSC00359.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...M/DSC00358.jpg[/IMG]

WOW....very nice..I think they were talking the "After Market" chrome portector above the sill over the existing carpet which gets foot traffic. But now having seen your "Sill Protectors" I am on my way out to look at what I might do in that regard just like yours.....Great Idea...I like em :thumbsup:

Great Idea and very nice Fabrication on your part :handshak:

How did you make them?
They look perfect. Are they Polished Aluminum or chromed steel (what gage?) or?

Im keeping these for a spare.Ive got a friend that had a connection at a metal company,I gave him the dimensions and he cut me a few sets.The ends were just straight cut so I did my own angled cut.Ill ask him if he still has the connection,if so Ill see what I can do about getting these out there for a few that might want a set.Ill get a better picture of mine when I get a chance.

You are correct sir.

You're also correct about the body color being in the embossed ZR-1 Splash. No plans for a decal. I'm thinking the only two colors will be black and either brushed aluminum or SS. Both with the body colored splash logo.
