Rick, how about this for a product idea? I think having a custom piece on the door sill plate would be very cool! Have your name put etched or engraved along with the VIN (or not). I am not looking at the plate right at the moment, so I can

I like this idea. Since I don't have much experience with metal things like this and I have my hands kind of full right with new projects, maybe this is one for Mingster. Richard, are you listening?

Hey Rick, it's looking pretty lonely here on this thread. 140-something posts and not a single person interested.

How about we make our OWN and screw these guys?!? That way we would have the only two custom made sill plate thingies on the planet...talk about badass! We'll be the SH!T in Asheville!



I still like the idea...I don't care what you guys say...(or don't say, in this case) heh



Seriously, this does sound like a job more for Richard. Yoohooo, Mingster?!? Where are you?!?

Since I replied, I remembered somebody who can do this. I'll talk to him on Monday. Consider the project underway!

My goal is to have them on our cars for Asheville (along with the prototype badges) for all to see and covet.

Price seems to be just over $100 for a spare sill.

One link for parts is here:

I kinda like the idea of a personalized, VIN stamped sill!

How about $60-70? If we can pull this off I think that will be the price.

Hey

I read it.
Talk to me tomorrow about this.

We do metal engravings at work. Hense the name Valley Engraving.

See all you have to do is ask.

But I may only be able to do part of it. Lets talk and see if I can help out.

PS If we make it out of Magnesium it could have some cool colors when your car starts on fire.

Well lets hope not.
