    Hi All,

    I saw some posts regarding some of the official illuminated ones, but I didn't need the lights, I found these from aliexpress, the link below is not the original link/store I got it from, but its the same looking one.

    Fit For Toyota Prius 2016 2017 Stainless Steel Door Sill Scuff Plate Threshold Pad Tread Plate Welcome Pedal 4PCS/SET-in Chromium Styling from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

    Installation is pretty straightforward, its just peel and stick
    measuring out distance, the masking tape is for reference when peeling

    Here's the final pics, I like how it matches the blue color, I need to clean the rest of the car, but it looks pretty nice!

    I like those. I have ordered the protection pack on my car, but didn't realise it didn't protect the rear doors so this would be useful...... shame I am in the U.K. though :cry:

    Won't that China supplier ship to the UK? They list UK pricing & shipping.

    Thank you so much, I didn't spot you could change the country at the top of the page :oops:

    Will have to have a think as if UK customs pick it up it won't be so cheap after all.....

    Yeah, I appreciate sill protection. Our 3rd gen came standard with the lighted sills, but I find them just silly: simple plastic or metal sills are just fine.

    These are better than those on the UK pro pack, which are too small and do not protect the lip. They are also very expensive, but at the time the only option for the new Prius. I will bring a shopping list when I visit Vancouver in June . Here I have only seen two outside of showroom demos in over a month and 2k miles.
