Default New door sill Numbers, BILLET!

So i had a friend of mine CNC some billet numbers to replace the cracked old clear plastic numbers. took him awhile due to the plates being different, not an exact "mirror" of each other. he may consider making more if there is interest.

Of course it comes down to cost. I would like to see it with the insides 8 blackened as well.
Does your friend have a price in mind?

That is really nice!

Would be cool if the black inserts could be transferred from the clear numbers.

he charged me 200, but im sure i can harass him down being that the program is all done now. he left the numbers machined, so i need to polish. he can do that as well and can Jewel them (google gun jeweling pictures and you get the idea). i need to glue the plastic pieces back in to the 8's etc, and or i was thinking of doing some kind of black epoxy type stuff.

Some time ago I offered stainless inserts for our door sills. They were not even close to $200, but went as slow as molasses. So I didn't have any more of them made.

A few lucky people here (Sterling, Bill Swift, Bill Ball,...) have them.

If there is enough interest, I would consider making a few more.

I have a set that are self adhesive (on top of the clear plastic). unfortunately the driverside was missing the 2 and the plastic was broken. I got a new sill liner.. now passenger side has the cool alum. 928... while the driverside is OEM. Anyone got a set of these to sell? please help a guy who just wants to do right by his baby. Brian

Hi Brian: Are these the aluminum 928 numbers you have on one side?
