Default Illuminated sill plates

They are available at: www.leeauto.com/parts/crossfire.htm.

List is a rather hefty $449 (their price $389). Funny that the same sill covers for the SLK are $159.

Thought MB parts were more expensive than other cars.

Default they will come down...

Just like the dealers overestimated demand in asking $3K to $10K over MSRP for the car, aftermarket folks may realize that we're not going to pay $500 for aftermarket doo dads. $200 maybe, but not $500.

$500 bucks for something that gets hidden under the door...No thanks! I think the factory sill plates are pretty sharp and they came free with the car!

OK, didn't get them as cheap as $159 but didn't get them as high as $389 either.

I can't exactly remember the price but it is in the $300 range. I don't have time to bring the car in for the install yet unfortunately, but I'll take pictures when all the items are in.

Many things I'm asked to show people in the Crossfire cannot be seen while the car is in motion and doors closed, so I'll get to show the sill plates.

And I have plans for the original sill plates.

Do you know where I can find Illuminated plates for a TRANS AM? We are having trouble finding anyone who knows where to get this.

OK, inquiring minds want to know. What are you plans for the original sill plates?

I paid $350 shipped for mine. It was worth it. It doesn't matter that you can't see it when your driving. Why even wash your car if your have that view. It gets even more looks from people when parked because they can see the lights far away and it draws attention. Look on eBay.
