So I decided to purchase sill plates as I don't believe what I have are originals and the replacements that came with the car are pretty scratched up.

So the question is who do you recommend for an accurate representation of an original sill plate, bright but not to bright, as often reproduction sill plates can be.

Searching availability these appear plentiful and the prices vary greatly. It seems hard to imagine there being greater than 2, maybe 3 manufacturers and a lot of distributors.
I'm OK paying for quality/correctness but looking to avoid being taken, or getting a piece thats doesn't meet expectations, here are a few examples of what I found, not picking these suppliers for any other reason than to display variation on price;
Roseville $48
Mega $75
Dante's $89
Legendary $147
Josh’s (list's 3, One at $65 by ??, One Authentic Resto by Trim Parts for $78 and yet another for $95.50 made by ??) and the real kicker is Trim Parts has theirs advertised for $111

With such a large price swing is there really such a difference in quality/correctness between all offered?.
Any recommendations navigating the mine field?

Thanks

The $48 sill plate from Roseville is just one. Not a pair.

Which ones did you get?

Haven't pulled the trigger yet, so many great recommendations I wasn't sure which to follow.

I have the Roseville ones on my 70 Challenger. Th finish is a little brighter than the decent originals that were in the car, but anodizing does tarnish over time.
They fit great and dress up the door opening, and I am happy with the,.
