Friends,
Before I received my GT I noticed a slight scratch on the sill plate.I see were it is easy to drag the side of your foot across it because its a bitch getting in and out of this awesome piece of machinery.
What I decided to try to prevent any more abuse is to cut a piece of 3M packaging tape about 10 inches long. I applied a piece from the Logo to the start of the stainless. The tape is the same in width as the sill plate. I think it looks almost undetectable.

NOTE: does anyone have a tip on removing a slight scratch from the sill plate?

I also applied the tape to the passenger side, I guess once the tape gets old its easy to replace and its cheap to use.

I bought a spare set of plates (actuall got them with one of my cars from the previous owner) and have clear-filmed the sills on all the cars. Insurance to be sure.

Oh,, there will be some trick custom sill plates coming soon !! They should be a little more scratch resistant !! Watch this space for details !!

Brien, would they include custom inscriptions? ie. Expressly built for...

I do the same thing you get so used to the base numbers and how they generally are biased left to right. I deal with these numbers a lot so that is how I picked it up.

Terry, Right now we plan to have the option to have year and last four of the Vin i.e. 2006 # 9999. The sill plate is actually two pieces . This is going to be available on the rear small section.

I was also was thinking to have some small text saying " 4X Lemans Champion " but we may scrap that?? I hope to have some drawings soon and will ask for feed back. I would think Project 321 would personalize a set to say whatever you want but there would be cost associated in the machine program set up. I hope to make a separate post very soon !!:wink

There will be two types the second will have more CF area !!

Maybe something like this........
I printed this on clear for my car when I got it. The clear covers the complete area on the drivers's side, aft of the latch, so there is no edge exposed and the printed part is about 3.5" long.

I knew there was a good reason I didn't know your last name.

This has nothing to do with your post, but I thought it was kind of interesting that my name is Trenton so Trent for short and I was born in Calgary...

Wow - small world - you're in Dubai right?

 

[T_R_S]

Yeah, small world for sure. Yup, I'm over in that big sand pit they call Dubai.
Have you always lived in Calgary?

 

[Not 4N]

Nope but after 28 years here it feels like it.

 

[scode]

How about this one.

Are the sill plates easy to replace? Something I can do myself? I have a set coming from Torrie as a backup set for later. Thanks, AC

 

[fjpikul]

Sure, easy to replace on those cheap colored cars. Just take a stick of dynamite.......
