Anyone install PT413-47230 the metal door sills in a gen5 yet? is it worth it? is the installation pretty much the same as the gen4?
Thought about it, but haven't done it yet. Will probably wait until the mirror and spare tire components are available so I can do all the upgrades at once. Have you found them any cheaper than $166.75? (including shipping)
I bought it from lithia in Oregon. The total with shipping was $166.01, no tax charged. SHIPTOYOTA dropped the shipping 10%. In looking at the pictures of ebay listings, it looks like these may not be illuminated so that will make it easier to install
Basically peel and stick. No cutting or wiring required. Just in case you don't have the instructions, here's a link to the front doors: https://www.toyota-tech.eu/aimuploads/843d3778-3e3e-4f33-985b-ddaa9d9c3830/Prius-Plug-in_Aluminium_Scuffplates_PW382_0R000_AIM_006_274_0.pdf I'm trying to find the rear door sill instructions to get the measurement references.
I wish they would go over the edge of the door sill. These just seem for appearance and provide some protection. But, the prone spot to get scuffs won't be protected. I rather spend the money and have PPF done on the door sills for better protection.
Maybe Toyota should include: Door sill protection Spare tires Scissor jack and lug nut wrench Two fobs (or keys...)
I saw them already installed on a silver XLE. They are not what I expected for $250. Kind of narrow and short especially the back ones. More decorative than functional and probably look better on the other paint colors. I would prefer the black plastic ones I have on my 2009. BTW the bumper appliqué basically covers the edge of the bumper and a small amount above and below it. Doesn’t cover the entire upper surface of the bumper like my 2009. 1/2 - 1/3 the coverage for the same price.
Mine say 'Prius' not 'hybrid' and I did get them mainly for the appearance, but they do provide a surprising amount of protection.
Are they non-illuminated? I'd drink to that. Not sure who decided the world needed illuminated door sills.
Yes, they are non-illuminated, but that would actually be cool if you didn't have to fuss with running wiring. They do make em......
I have illuminated sills and they look great - not at all different from the ambient light they have on the 23...
