[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16947785, member: 70025"] I'm waiting on the metal insert for the passenger side. I'll put it back together once it arrives. I have not ordered the driver's side insert yet. So, that's why I replaced the inner door handle already. While I had access to the driver's side I also replaced the door sill plate. Here you can see how dull the old one is. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_082924_resized.jpg"]1806436[/ATTACH] You could barely see the logo on the old one. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_082936_resized.jpg"]1806437[/ATTACH] This is the rear of the door sill plate. You can actually see a hole in this as well. Again, don't ask me how that happened LOL. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_082929_resized.jpg"]1806438[/ATTACH] I'm not sure how this happened but at the front and middle of the body you can see some overspray. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_084752_resized.jpg"]1806439[/ATTACH] The rear of the body has some markings in the paint as well. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_084759_resized.jpg"]1806440[/ATTACH] Took some lacquer thinner and got everything cleaned up. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_085305_resized.jpg"]1806441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_085310_resized.jpg"]1806442[/ATTACH] And here is the new door sill plate. Looks way better now. I thought the hardware was good, but it could be better. I'll order some new hardware and get that installed once I receive the new metal insert. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_091349_resized.jpg"]1806443[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_091407_resized.jpg"]1806444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230819_091413_resized.jpg"]1806445[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
