Default Anyone have a perfect set of 944 plastic door sills?

Getting to the point in my restoration where I'm in desperate need of a few last parts.

I'm wondering if anyone has a set (or knows where to get one) of the plastic door sills for an '86 951 as shown in this photo (shamelessly stolen off ebay):



I have a set that I can probably refinish but I don't think they're going to be perfect. Mine are probably an 8/10 so I'm looking for a 9/10 or better. I'm dreaming of a set of NOS sills. They are no longer available from the dealer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Doug. Let me know.

I've had a couple PM's so, just to clarify, I have a set with no cracks. I'm looking for a set that is much better than "no cracks". I need "like new" or as close to there as possible. Again, I appreciate everyone's help.

Would you be interested in selling the ones you are taking off? I don't need perfect ones, just ones with no cracks.

Try giving Ian a call, he also lists the clips for retaining the pieces...

I pulled mine and they are 8/10 at best.

They had some minor scuffing but they are not perfect, sorry.

If I can find a better set, you're welcome to have mine for postage.

If not, looks like a poster above can help you out with a set.

I was going to try and get used. Planning on calling Ian instead. I need to do a full interior detail before I get them though.

As JoKA has already said, check with 944online.com. I bought a new set not too long ago from them.

Yeah. Going to call them in the morning. Was the set you bought new?

Just went to Ian's site and saw they had them to order new. I have no idea how I missed this. Thanks for the tip.

They also list a "long" door sill trim for the Turbo. Doesn't look like mine. Anyone know what car they fit?

I think that is the black ground effect piece.

That's the side skirt that goes under the rocker panel on the outside of the car, not the interior piece.
