I think the plates are about 14 gauge or approx 1/16"-3/32" thick

I had my dealer ask Aston Martin to make me a set when I bought my car. It took about two weeks for them to come into the dealer.

I'll definitely look in to this!

atlvantage is infamous around these parts

I will get them for you from Aston if you want them. The quality seems to have improved and you can now add your signature. It looks cool, I have them in my Vantage. Let me know if you're interested and I'll secure you a discounted price.

Do it yourself

Search an old AM 6Speed thread, "Door Sills Engraving", started 3-03-2011. Includes lots of ideas including a DIY project reusing the original equipment parts.

After 6 years and 20,000 miles they are holding up well on my car, but fading a bit. In hindsight I should have applied a thin matte clearcoat (urethane, rattle can?) to the plaques when I got them back from the trophy shop.

I will try this treatment this winter to refresh them.
