carbon door sill

i started a thread few weeks ago since i wanted to replace the inner door sill that was scuffed
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...bon-fiber.html

luckily for me, DBCarbon is having a special sale/group buy which started apr 13 and will end may 5 20% off initially !
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...duct-line.html

i will definitely be purchasing the inner door sill in carbon..

However, i can't decide between the regular carbon outer door sill ($420) vs the long version ($826).

short version:


long version:


since i will be doing it in carbon, is the long version worth the extra dough ? i think the oem (non-carbon) is short.

btw, if u need some carbon parts, lets sign up and try to get 30% off !

Don't apologize for dirt, salt, scratches, worn tires... Nothing.
Be proud you drive yours often/everyday!
This winter it was kinda cool driving around with my dirty, salt covered car.
These are meant to be driven!

after looking at my OEM door sill, i am leaning towards the normal (short) version.

i like the silver paint that shows thru.. it will be nice contrast with the carbon IMO

I believe the long version was also a factory option, might be for the GTs or Turbos.

the long version does look great !

pic from MA Carbon:




but the just doing the inner sills with carbon and leaving the outer as-is is not so bad.. all my scuff mark is on the inside sill.
