How is the aluminum door sill option different?
I know the aluminum door sills w/ rotary emblem are an option, but what is there to begin with? If there's already a nice sill panel, I'll skip the extra $270... but if it's blank (ie just body color), I think the aluminum sill would be a nice touch.
Anyone have pictures to compare the two? Thanks...

So basically the upgrade is aluminum all the way along rather than black plastic with small aluminum (or aluminum look) RX-8 logo piece? Guess I'll have to mull that one over a bit. I added navigation so I'm trying to cut down on the other goodies to keep the price near what it was pre-navigation.

Stock is plastic well-faked to look like aluminum. I was going to get the upgrade but now I don't think its worth it, at least right away. If the stock plastic gets torn up later on then maybe it'll be worth the add-on to spruce it up again.

Thanks. That's what I suspected, but wasn't positively sure. Although it doesn't look bad, I opted for the aluminum scuff plate instead. Bought it last week, and will have the dealer install it when they get the car in the next week or so.
