You know me, if I'm in a position to save you all some money, I'll pass it on.
We are doing another large run of the thresholds and carpet strips.

The "chrome" is an anodized finish so they will not dull. The black are not like the factory part in that it was plastic. This is especially annoying in that the carpet strips sag when you tighten down the screws. The aluminum does not do this. We hard coat anodize these with the black dye so that they are extremely difficult to scratch. In fact it had an aluminum oxide "shell" that keeps it from scratching.

I'm looking at doing a kit that includes the push rivets and screws (black nickel coated for the black sills)

Would need 10 takers of each flavor. and would be at least $60 off, more if we get more takers, the silver could be even more as the finishing costs are less.

Who's interested?

I'd be interested in a black set; the plastic parts are really cheesy.
Robarabian
I am interested but would like to know the price versus the discount (which is quite generous)

I'd be interested in a set of silver, but only if they come undrilled. I need to match-drill the existing holes in the chassis.

We can do that. I am assuming you want the carpet strips drilled?

1 black set please
fiacra
Interested in a black set. Any information on pricing yet?
Mikey914
I was waiting to see how many were interested, as I can do better now than I expected. I was also waiting to get the screws together on these as the black is problematic without screws as the old ones generally are shot and why put crappy screws on a new carpet strip.

I will post up the details later today with pics.

Mark,
Can I get a black hardware kit? Mine has turned up missing from box.
Mikey914
We will make hardware kits available too alone for those that need them. The 1st parts should be ready at finishing Monday. I will start sending out PMs Sunday night.

Hardware kits will be listed sometime this week as these are new for us we have to get them listed alone.

Thanks all
