A special thanks to viperboy_403 for alerting me to this on Ebay because I wasn't checking. But as soon as I did and placed my bid of $406, I was on top for a couple of days, then somebody overbid me for $430 upon which I bid $560, then when I saw the auction was heating up with more views and bids, I raised my limit to $630, never thinking it would run that high, well man was I wrong! Somebody bid at the last moment to try and top me and the auction ended with me as the winner at $620!!!
It is a ridiculous price to pay, but if you've seen my interior, you know how much this last piece means to it!!
Woo Hoo!!!
Dude self absorbed much about your 10 year old car?
You mean the same support you gave when you crapped on the kid who posted his busted up stocker? Or the dozens of other posts you made where instead of helping you just talked about how great your car parts are?
BTW you're doing with your car what dozens had done 8 years ago so excuse me if I'm not overwhelmed with "The Best Prelude in the World"
A guy sold a set of these on PreludeUK a couple of months ago for £70 (100$)
The Americans always pay way over the top for JDM/EUDM stuff (By the way, those sill protectors were an option in the UK, so they might not be JDM afterall!)
wow, just f'n wow. if i knew the prices for these sills would ever go past even $500 i would have bought them all long ago and just waited. and here i thought $300 + shipping was already ridiculous. wow
but that's real cool. from what i've read you say about your car and the few pics of it i see here and there, i can tell you're really into your car and take huge pride in it. it's your money, your life, your car, do as you will right. kudos for making the most mind blowing purchase of the year i'm sure what next? a $200 red stitched sh looking shift knob? or do you have one already? don't take it the wrong way either, i'm not hating, just astonished.
$620......I'm just.......stunned....I mean, if that's what you want then go for it but this is part of the reason why everyone labels import drivers as "ricers"; because they will buy $620 door sills. Like I said, I'm not hating at all, but I'm just....surprised.

You gotta pay to play. Some people just don't look hard enough for the deals, but as long as both parties walk away happy i don't see the problem with it.

agree. you say you are a prelude lover yourself and ask why someone would "hate" on your 620$ door sills but you straight up laughed at a guy who bought his 4gen in need of some work? hypocrite much?
I believe we had a group buy of some sort of those from beaty a few years back. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Price point was a hell of a lot cheaper that what you paid though.
i dont think that people on here are really hating on your car or the money you put in it, but you do have a way of rubing it in peoples faces that you have "the best of the best". im happy that you got the sills thats great, and im sure that they will look great on the lude, but sometimes you do get a little carried away and it does make you seem like your trying to say your better than all of us on here. dont take that personally just tryin to help.
