N400 sills

The N400 sills are an option in the 2010 AMV V8 cars I believe.
Will it fit years before 2010?
If anyone has purchased them for their 08-09 cars, let me know if they charge a lot.

They will fit no problem.
Prices range from $3000 to about $3400 to have them painted and installed.

Is the only way through the dealer or are there OEM online sites?

The Vantage Collection sells N400 and V12 sills. I have also heard that RSC is working on a set of N24 sills got the Vantage too.

Thanks dehnert!
The aftermarket sills says it is fiberglass.
Is the one from the dealer same material?
I always thought they were polyurethane.

I can't tell the difference b/t the N400 sills and the V12 Vantage sills. It states that both will fit on a AMV V8.

First Image of the Vantage V12 Sills
Second the the N400 Style Sills

The design differs between both, N400 is more rounded.

Thanks gekko, I think the N400 looks better imo.

I didnt know dealer sells fiberglass. I always thought on higher end cars, it is urethane.

I've always liked the V12 sills better because the N400 ones "fill in" the curve between the door and the rear wheel arch, which IMO makes it less dramatic.

I doubt the OEM piece is fiberglass--probably composite like other parts on the car.

Someone on the board told me to go here

http://thevantagecollection.com/products_e_v12.html

It is fiberglass here but probably cause its a knockoff.

Sills

I believe that RSC's sills will be made of Carbon Fiber.
Check with RSC to be sure.
