Door Sills For Corolla

Hey guys!

So I'm thinking about purchasing some door sills for my 2011 Corolla S MGM. I think it adds a nice touch to it. What do you guys think about it? My problem is that I don't know which color to choose. Grey or Dark Grey? I'm thinking dark grey would be the way to go, but im so unsure.



Any other alternatives out there?

I just bought some LED door sills, waiting for 'em to come in.

If your gonna pay for the price of OEM ones I'd go with the lit ones unless you don't like 'em.

I've been thinking about the LED door sills, but maybe somewhere down the line. There are some great priced ones on Ebay. They are much cheaper than the door sills from toyota and other websites.

My corolla is only 1 month and a few days old so I think im gonna hold off on the LED for now or door sills overall unless i receive more inputs.

I have LED footwells for each corner, so I'm just gonna run the wires though the panels and tap into those.

Here's my DIY for 'em.

While the lights may look nice it's not a big deal to me since you only see it when the door is open for a few seconds.

Whenever you get the chance, can one of you guys post a picture? There are literally no pics of the door sills installed on a corolla in google at all.
