the only thing i can suggest is get in/out slowly and carefully... just like what i do every single day... or maybe you could put a nice transparent decal or something... like a scotch tape... but not the scotch tape-scotch tape...
did you post this on scionlife.com too?

i think that the clear bra material would be best...many installers can cut to fit the material (as they get it in bulk) and slap it on wherever you want. i think that it would be very effective...buy maybe a little $$...

Yeah, I was paranoid about that last night too....having heals on and then having drunk people climbing in and out of the car. EEK.
The clear bra is definitely a good idea though, especially if the door sill enchancement option from the dealer doesn't cover up any more area than the stock ones do.
If anyone tries the bra or a sticker, please let me know how much it was and how you think its working for ya'! THANKS!

i keep a red carpet in my tC.. whenever i get out i roll it over the door sill and
make my grand entrance![]()
seriously though.. that clear bra sounds like a nice option and even the clear
vinyl sticker too
I ordered the door sills and will install them when they arrive nex week. The door sills should only be about the same size as the existing one. When I get in and out of my tC, my feet doesn't even touch that part. It always hits the paint area outside of the door sills.
You can get clear bra from detailers in your area... I'm gonna look into getting it from Detail Works in San Diego. http://www.detailworks.com/Clear_Bra.htm
You can read a bit about it there... they even have some prices but just not for the tC. It shouldn't be too expensive.
yeah, i can do that. I just dont know the size of that area...Originally posted by imasaf+Jul 30 2004, 09:09 AM-->QUOTE (imasaf @ Jul 30 2004, 09:09 AM)huh??do you mean you can create a clear vinyl that i can stick onto that area??? If so, I will go measure it when I get my baby back from surgery today.![]()

sh*t ... found a small scratch on door area today...![]()
On my road trip this weekend I about flipped out the first time I heard the moonroof "pop." I thought a big rock had hit my car and I was about to scream LOL. Even when bug hit my windshield I was sorta' crying on the inside.
Such a shame to see such a beautiful car get hit by ANYTHING.
Is it pretty bad....do you think touch-up will be easy on it?
Nope... I'll leave it as is until I can protect it with the clear vinyl or the clear bra stuff. The scratch isn't so big and its on my side so only I notice it. Anyways.... I've used touch up paint before and it never comes out nice.
great pic and measurements!!! i didnt know it got narrower... i'll see what i can do and get back to you later this week.Originally posted by imasaf@Jul 31 2004, 02:14 PM
