Title: Chrome Kick Plates
Post by: heathstimpson on October 17, 2003, 16:00
Anyone had any joy with the Toyota chrome kickplates?  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
Mine just would not stay stuck down even when the doublesided tape was replaced with extra strong stuff  s:cry: :cry: s:cry:  The moisture peels them off (not that we have had too much lately) and they vibrate on the bottom of the doors  s:cry: :cry: s:cry:  The surface they attach to is not smooth which does not help.
Cheers,

i've got the lockwood jobbies and after a quick cleaning with some nail varnish remover or something similar then mine have stayed down a treat

Same here with the Lockwoods, mine are still well stuck down after a year now, even with me ripping the whole sill out to run speaker cable through.

How much are the Lockwoods and where can you get them from?

Well i currently have the naff Toyota carbon looky likey sills which i got thrown in with the car.  Went out last night and dropped my brother off at his friends 18th.  Unfortunatley i had to bring him and this other girl (quite fit) back.  The girl couldn't manage to get over the door sill and she tore the carbon like sills!   s:cry: :cry: s:cry:  

Long story short i need the lockwood sills!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

If anyone else is interested it maybe an idea to sort a group deal!  It would make a great christmas stocking filler!!   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

With a (very succesful) GB having been done only a few weeks ago, I doubt you will get much interest so soon, but if you want to give it a a go anyway, PM Peter Laborne who arranged the original as he will have all the relevant contact info.

I do like the carbon sills but unfortunately they are not made to last.  I do tell people to be careful when getting in the car but they never take the same care as me or my girlfriend do!  This makes me   s:evil: :evil: s:evil:  when they scratch my car!

To save me from any possible insane outbursts it's safer for me to invest in some Lockwood sills!

If nobody is interested in a group buy, my girlfriend will probably get them for my Christmas present if i ask nicely!  All i have to do is figure what to get her!  It's not an engagement ring yet!   s:? :? s:?
