cheap door sill with 10X the grip =)

ok so they start out like this cheap flimsy piece of plastic screwed in with 4 screws that were rusted in there or at least mine was


this is what it looks like after removing the sill plate only not as clean


after cleaning the sill plate i bought some skateboard grip tape and cut it into 4" sections the length of the original sill plate which was 27.5 inches
you will get a few wrinkles because of how theres small indentions where the sill plate set
this is what it will basically look like as a finished product


i didnt take pictures of the rear before and middle but heres the after shot


i bought a 9x 60" piece so i had enough to do the bumper on my hatch too which helps when your trying to climb on the bumper to throw stuff on the roof
door open

door closed



i havent tested it for the weather yet but we will see in weeks to come how it holds up... besides if it doesnt work or hold up im out... 14 bucks lol

I like it. Let us know how it holds up.

It will definitely get caked with mud and dirt, I hate when my skateboard grip gets dirty. I dont know how it will clean up though, might work pretty well. Good idea!

I prefer the clear grip tape... you can put some "cool" stickers down first and then the clear grip tape down to see them.

At least, that's what I used to do when I was a skater back in 88-89

I like the idea of putting it on the rear bumper. I will keep that in mind.
