Default Door Sill Enhanments - $40 on eBay

I took a chance and ordered the 2007 Camry "Door Sill Scuff Plate" currently listed on Ebay for $9.99 + $30.00 for shipping (seller is vr510v, who is located in Hong Kong).

I was pleasantly surprised. They look pretty good. They appear to be made out of chrome (they are non-magnetic and they are heavier than aluminum). Took about 1 1/2 weeks for them to arrive. They were shipped via registered airmail.



PS - Yes... I realize the correct spelling is "Enhancements."

Do you know what the blue light door sill enhancement (that the ebay seller who sold you your sill protectors sells on ebay) refers to. I see the lettering is in blue, but not sure if it lights up or what. Listed on ebay now together with the sill plates you purchased.

Thanks, Fred

Thanks for posting this. They look really good on your car. I was thinking of getting the ones from the Toyota Parts store for $120.00 until I saw your message.

It sounds like they are pretty hefty, but how securely are they attached? Also, is the inlay grey?

I did get a kick out of seeing the "Blue Light" version which apparently lights up the inlay!

Fred,

I think the inlay might light up because the description says the "Blue Light" sill protectors come with "electronic transformers".

Fred, yes. The "Blue Light Door Sill Scuff Plates" have illuminated inlays. They have to be connected to the car's electrical system.

The ones that I purchased are not illuminated. They have an overall lightly "brushed" finish. The inlay and the edge are polished chrome. Each sill has two strips of pre-attached adhesive tape. Installation is "peel and stick" and took less than five minutes.

Are they all the same color? Will they match both the Ash and the Bisque colored interiors?
