SupraStar 3000 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 No idea Christian. But I'm also wanting some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Have found quite a few of those Momo ones ... but I think they look abit naff. I'm sure proper Supra Door Sills would sell like hot cakes. Uhhh - Google is giving me a headache! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Found this on : http://www.supras.nl/ click on 01 under Bestsellers - there's a version for the JZA80 appearing in the drop down box. I'm sure there must be something better than this still though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 I think they look pretty good - but I think they cover the stock plastic sill rather than replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if thats what your after? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !! Absolute cack - ordered a set of these a while ago. The site picture looks good , but when you get them they are dreadful. Straight line pieces , with Supra marked on them as if someone had taken a marker pen , and just scrawled it on as an afterthought , that or they were done by a 3yr old. I promptly threw them in the bin when they would not take them back. BEWARE ! :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I wonder if you can buy stainless steel kick plates with a neon Supra logo that lights up when you open the door. A friend of mine has a FTO that has a set but they came standard on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEWARE ! :flame Dev Cack site, cack products, cack prices (£61 for a pair of custom plates), looks like the only thing they are not cack at is keeping hold of your money.

Nick_TC Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I was asked about these for the MKIII's but the etching of the stainless was pricey and put most off, think the total price would have been around £65, which would replace the standard sill covers. I'll look into it for the MKIV if there's some interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I had a custom set made for my MK3 a few years ago , but for the life of me , I cannot recall the company involved. I sent them the existing plates from the car , and they fabricated a new set to replace them in stainless steel - looked damn good as well - cost around £30/40. I'd certainly be up a for a set for the MKIV if there are others interested as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 I'm interested in a pair of door sills ... if it's got Supra written on them .. in the Supra Style ... even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I'd like something like that, but I don't really see how different door sills would fit on, as the standard plastic bit is all ridgey. Would the sills replace the standard plastic bits, or would they stick over the top? (euughhh) James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_TC Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Anyone got a pic of the stock sill?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 Hi Nick, Might be an idea to start a new thread to with a poll vote to get an idea of interest ? Personally I'm in favour of the sills that replace the plastic stock ones. Cheers, Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_TC Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I'll inspect the standard sills before we go any further, as I can't picture what they look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 They sorta look like plastic bits that go over the sills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_TC Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Oh right, you obviously wouldn't have the crimple effect, it'd be polished stainless with the supra logo etched. Have to see how they're attached aswell, I guess that rubber holds them in place with maybe some sort of push fit underneath?? To be honest, I'm too busy to sort this out from start to finish. If someone wants to orgainse this, i.e find out who wants a set, then so I'm only dealing with one person e.g like a group buy, then we can go from there. I got the MKIII Supra ones priced, which are very similar in size and shape, prices were as follows for 5 sets=£61.10 per set for 15sets=£36.35 per set for 25sets=£30.08 Plus delivery+bending The prices were just for the etching/engraving and supply of the stainless (they supply the stainless as has to be a special grade) and I was going to get them bent at cost as the price is quite alot and they just wouldn't sell with any profit stuck on them. If anyone works at a engravers/etchers then it'd be alot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
