Has Anyone Purchase These Door Sills Before?

Just wondering if anyone has bought these door sills from For My Mercedes before and if they are of good quality and worth it or should i spend the 425.00 from Brabus, thank you for your time.

I bought them

They are fine. I bought them and they work fine. I have had them for about six months no problems. I am happy with the purchase. The only thing is that mercedes is going to charge you 400.00 to put them in. They really get you if they do it. If you can have someone else do it you will make out on the deal

I installed it myself. There are instructions on the web somewhere which I refered to. Very easy install , just takes a while (about an hour or so)

I have door sills from Harris. They are custom-made, and mine have "C32 ///AMG" in blue when I open the doors. They are not the kind that you put on over the existing door sills. These are the actual MB complete door sill, modified to say whatever you want. I installed them myself and have no problems with them. They look awesome at night!!

Well, you could go to the members list, and look him up. But I'm in a good mood:

www.hartonmotorwerks.com

Of course, his site's down right now.

still kinda new to this

I didn't realize that Harris was a member rather than a company name? that's why my google search failed.

Yes, he is, but he's Canadian, so you have to use small words.

I've ordered a couple of things from him, and his service was great. Lucked out and got my exhaust about a month quicker than I would have through Eisenhaus.

Installed sills but having one issue...

i installed the sills from jerry (formymercedes.com) this weekend and they look great. while driving last night i noticed the "door open" dash warning for the rear left door come on. while parked and alarm armed, the alarm goes off for no reason. i'm thinking the door switch tripped making the car think the door was opened when its still closed.

is the door light pin switch the only sensor that works the dome light and door open sensor or is there another trigger switch along the door?

on an installation note, since the brown/blue wire wasnt found down near the sill on the rear left side, it was tap spliced up near the door pin and extra wire was used to lengthen for the sill.

i've read some people went through the fuse box but the directions from jerry did not mention so.

if anyone has heard of this alarm issue, please advise.
