I picked some up from Zeta products being sold on Ebay for $50 by their Ebay account. They look great and probably the same quality as the OEM cheaper.

x2 ^^^

I believe the OEM sills are around $100. The Zeta sills, in my opinion, are a better value.

I really love the look of the aluminum door sills shown in this thread - https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...oor-sills.html

I couldn't find the exact ones on ebay (sad face), but I found similar ones... Hopefully they look as nice. They haven't come in yet, but I'm happy to take photos once I have them!

are you going for cosmetics or just want to prevent scratches?

if for preventing scratches, i would suggest getting a roll of scotch brand clearbra and making your own protector. you can buy the roll from amazon.

on my GE's both run the factory ones. i only got them for cosmetics.

Honda Fit Aluminium Door Scuff Sill Plates 09 11 | eBay

I don't think they look quite as nice.... but it's the best I could find. Hoping they look nicer in person. Worse-case, I just won't use them.

eBay My World - zetaauto

Zeta Auto's ebay. They didn't have any listed at the time. But I'm sure they're open for contact.

I tried to find some personally. I was only able to find the stainless steel/lighted. Was looking for the plastic-like ones with lights. One of the guys here picked up a great looking set that look just like the OEM's with lights, but I wasn't able to find those myself.

Codi. I was able to find the ones for Connor on Ebay. Keep looking. They look so much like my OEM ones but with lights. Wish I had them.

Hmm, guess I hadn't checked recently, maybe I just had no luck.

I already have the Zeta's that are near identical, but Connor's lighted ones are much slicker.
