Installation didnt not go as planned, the manual says one thing, common sense tells you another.

Manual says to measure and mark with tape the center of the new sill and the current black plastic and go middle to middle, but in the fronts that impossible and its to narrow middle to middle for the sill and it hangs off...

So I matched up the two rear pieces so they are even and it fit perfectly up front, and the rear area is very small so I just centered them.

Cars should always come with factory sills, they add so much..

pics to come later... its still 7am..

I'd like to see your pics. I've been dbating on getting the door sills, but I was worried that they would come loose after a while. Are they on there pretty secure? Do you screw the in, or what?
I too did the door sills, got mine on there today. they do not screw, they have very strong tape and believe me....once they are there, they are not budging! I will post picks when the rain stops.

I installed these for my dad on his Nitro, they've been there since June with no problems!! They definitely add to the look of the truck too!

I have a Mopar set on my SRT as well, they were almost 3 years strong when I took them off to paint the car, they aren't going anywhere!

One more thing. The directions tell you to remove part of the tape before putting them down and then peel the rest off after placement.

I could not see any way to do this, so I peeled all the backing off at once and placed them very carefully.

See my posts for pics.
