Autovation Door Sill Installed

The weather is a bit better in the midwest, so I figure I'd put these babies on finally.

For anyone thats interested, they are from this thread here. Of course, they fit Evo's and Lancers.

Overall impressions: these are pretty good door sills. The machining is top notch and fitment is right on. There's not too much else to say really: they fit, they look good, and the price isn't too terrible considering you get all 4. Something different to pimp out the ole' lancer.

attached are some pictures, and i'll update this thread with an installation guide I wrote for autovation once i upload it.

Pics could be better, but i'll have to wait until spring to get good sunshine.


I'd imagine the quality is a lot better than the cheapo ebay ones, so pick them up while there on sale!

haha, thats true.

personally, i didn't think it would make a big visual difference, but when you open your door and that metal sparkles back at you, it really does look alot better.

thanks. as for the adhesive, i really don't know. its sorta warm right now, so i'll have to wait until winter to see if it holds up. I'd say if it became a problem, you could add some holes and screw it into the plastic trim like in the back.
