The car should be herenext week sometime I hope. I'm trying to organize all the added on stuff so there won't be any delays when it arrives. Have to get the wheels installed, the sill plates, a body side mouldingand a few added on special touches. I leave for Florida at the end of January so hopefully everything will fall into place.

Also want to make sure it gets here in time to get my "Wish & Win" kickback from GM. which apparently ends on Jan. 10.

I will try to post some pics not only of the car, but the sill plates as well.

 

The price is for a KIT of 2. I've got mine installed and will posts pics later today. I love 'em. They really dress it up nicely. I've got a small fortune now in GM accessories between exhaust tips, door sill plates, and wheels & center caps!!

 

Hey cain45 - I assume the sill plates use a self stick stuff to fasten them right??

 

I took some pics of my sill plates. The GM part # is 88955175 and they were $46.05 each - but I don't know if the body shop guy got that at a discount or not.

They use a 3M padded type stick backing. You wash the sill with soap & water, then clean it with a alcohol prep pad (supplied in the GM kit), then align the plate with interior plastic carpet cover and attach. Instructions states install at 70-85 degrees so I did them in my heated garage.

 

I'd buy a set. But if the kit for the '06/07 Montes really are aluminum and they get scuffed, any mark will show up on them.

This alone get's me wondering if they are worth the $105 price?

 

They're worth it. They are aluminum with a black coating over them except around the very edges. So the scuffed part is always on the black coating.

 

see this bites!! yall have all the fun LOL

I have the sheet of Alum. to make a set here and plans to do so but nobody here can cut out the stuff i wanted cut to make them look right. SO once again i have to let me poor car get tore up till i can get back to the states and do anything. i need a water jet cutting machine LOL

 

are those aluminum?? they just dont look like it to me. look good still. but they look like rubber from the pic
