if its not that rare than post up all the links that you can find to these parts.
Dude, just because I said its not THAT rare doesn't mean there are 10 links I can just post up. I'd say every couple months Ive seen a pair go up. And they are a rip-off especially at 600 dollars. They stick on, similar to the BS aftermarket ones, and not nearly as nice as ones found on my Dads Miata and other cars with similar features. Ive known at least 5 people (I think even Roger, thepreludedude, had them at one point) who have had them. 4 of which are in our local club in Ohio. They aren't that rare. There are RARE items that are worth making a big deal out of, like the Mugen front end for a 4th gen, etc. or the JDM 5th gen grille which is grey metallic color (I wouldn't pay too much for though). Those is rare, and worth paying double the true value for. These door sills are hard to find, but not impossible.
I have JDM Sir Red interior with the floor mats, and I dont go around boasting about it or other "rare" parts. I post pics occasionally, but definitely dont start the thread with "the best prelude in the world"
prepreludesh is begging for flaming when he makes some of those egotistical posts on here, and then boasts about his uber rare purchase for and item at double or at least 50 percent more than what is a reasonable price. A lot of the people on here have been here for 4-8 years. And have seen nice preludes come and go and have very solid judgment of what is truly rare or awesome. If prepreludesh really wanted them that bad, thats fine, but he could handle it much better.
If he had bought them, installed them, and had said, new addition to my interior, been looking for these for a while, most of us would have been very appreciative of it and congratulated him. But that's not how he handled it. I would never admit to paying 600+ for those things. In fact, there is a thread from a few months back of a guy trying to sell them at 500+ and he got flamed on, especially because he thought they should be selling super fast at that price.

Its funny. As a prelude--->s2k owner, the s2ks come stock with door sills similar to those. If I were to buy them second hand they would be about 40 bucks for both.
.....(I think even Roger, thepreludedude, had them at one point)
lol, actually i never had these. i did have the momo ones at one time. they usually are around $100. and i bought them for $10. i like rare parts but these just never excited me. if i had another color exterior than red i would love to have the red interior. that to me is worth that kind of money.
yeah,but i really dont thinkhe was trying to rub in people face that that he paid all that money, and the best prelude in the worldthread, i been to it already.
And Its a good story,he even admits its not the best,but in HIS OPINION it is.
That is coo,and the title really does grab more attention to go to it,i mean damn look at how many views that thread has.
btw I really do think shill bidding took place in that auction and that really sucks.
I almost fell for one about 3 weeks ago i was the only bidder until the last day, some people started bidding, and some guy even bid more than what other people had the same item f/s with BUy it now.
Anyways i just left that auction,and i checked back and i have yet to see someone give him feedback about that item.

LOL, +2! I had them on my car, bought them from Ray and pretty sure I got about $300 for them when I sold them back in Jan/Feb. It was one of the first things I noticed about the S2k and realized how overpriced they were for the lude.
damn i have a headache after reading this.... grats on the door sills, i was acutally looking at that auction on ebay.. and thought to myself .. damn that would be sweet to have those and then looked at the price and laughed, spend your money however you want man
Until you read my previous post and respond what I said to why I named my post that, then I'll acknowledge what you said. 97VTEC_SH got what I was saying, but I guess you didn't.
FYI, my post WASNT directed at you. It was directed at hotsauce. I dont really care if you acknowledge my post.

My comment about squeaks and rattles was made when the car was purchased at 186,000 miles. I do have a squeak now, it's from the sunroof on colder days. It seems to act up as the cars suspension reacts rougher road surfaces. I find that pressing the sunroof button for a half second to crack it open alleviates it, but I'm sure this is one of the problems that comes with older age.
put alittle where the sunroof slides/the rails ,you will feel a diffrence. Many people encounter this prob,and thats the solution and it works.
I'm confused, I'm going to assume you're agreeing with me since that's not my car and I didnt blow stupid money on a "show" part. Been there done that, I'd rather use $600 on improving the performance these days.
Sorry for missunderstanding, ThatPreludeGuy. Yes, I was agreeing with you, and talking about his car.
It sucks that prepreludesh is getting so much ****, I said my comment thinking the thread was over, sorry it went so far man. You should dpend your mony how you want it on your car.
