WHOAH! door sills went up by $300 bucks on formymercedes.com

they used to be like 180 or something before they were pulled a few weeks ago... they must have been redesigned or something to make them work.. i see no other reason for a $300 price increase all of a sudden...

what the ***** are you talking about???

those are the FACTORY illuminated door sill. you can still get the aftermarket one for $169 on there granted its for other cars.

seriously read carefully on what you post before you post. It's not the first time you post a "OMG how can this be" topic where someone had to correct you in the thread.

Sills

Yes the sills on site are factory.

I am working on sills where the lower front sills are replaced with an illuminated sill, rather than a cover. Rears would still be covers.
