Yup they go on top. Would be cool if you could get the CNC to carve out the center of the OEM sill so the sill plate sits flush inside it.

I always thought about just grinding down the ridges on the OEM sill so the sill plate sat a little lower.

Hey why not make a full sill that replaces the OEM one?

anyone have dimmensions for those? mostly just the height that can clear the door when it closes. i would like to do a total sill replacement but getting the plans to cut that on a cnc with all the dimmensions and curves would be too much work

They go on top (These sill are not attached to the stock sills yet, just testing how they would look):

In that first picture with the neon still...

is that an ABP car with the tan interior??
I'd love it if my ABP's interior was tan instead of black.
I didn't know ABP cars could come with the tan.
It must not be ABP or the car isn't a Type S maybe?

I've got the same ones that Volly has. I think I paid like $100 for them. That was about 4-5 yrs ago.
