Before and after pics coming. Please forgive the poor quality pictures of my point and shoot camera. I Found these on e-bay.

Original comment / purchase link thread here: http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21529

I figured I would make a new thread for the before and after pics. These were well worth the money. Good red on the "GTI." 3M glue pre-applied to the back. I dont feel like these are going to fall off. Rest assured, I will if they do.

Install was a pain trying to space them perfectly.

First, I cleaned the sills as I normally would, then rubbed them down with isoproplyl alcohol. Then I placed painters tape approximately 1/2" from the bottom edge. I marked the blue protective cover of the sill plate in its middle and simply matched that to a mark I had made for the middle of the door sill itself. (pic below if it does not make sense).

I think the 3 passenger doors came out really well, but I goofed the drivers door. It is off from the rear edge by 1/4" or so. Maybe you cant tell, but I can.

Comments welcome. These are not for everyone, but I like them. :thumbsup:

They look sharp. Any concerns with them rubbing the bottoms of the doors? (a problem I had on my old Mazda)

Are those OEM or the Ebay one?

E-bay. See the link at top of the thread.

I hear ya. Truly a matter of taste. Personally, I dont want everyone to have these either. :cool:
