What do you guys do about old door sills?
From what I've seen, you can only buy the passenger side as a replacement, and then you have to paint it. (BTW, I'm talking about the lower door sill trim piece, that covers the edge of the carpet at the door, and hides some wires as well)
Is there a resource for both drivers and passenger side that I'm not aware of? I don't want to go through the trouble of buying and figuring out how to paint/dye the passenger side one if the drivers' looks terrible. Its the one that needs replacing most, actually. It's all cracked up and stuff.
Are there 4th gen door sills that work?

I found mine at a wrecking yard. If yours isn't too terribly shot, you may even be able to repair it with a little epoxy. Just a thought, I've gone that route before and had good results.

Back when I managed a Checker/Shucks/Kragen(depends on where you are) We had a company that had some billet sills. You might try that. I think they were made by Vent Shade or Steelhorse

that was me and they don't make them....it's all in the thread. the company put up the pictures without any real thought and never plan on making them.
