Default Sill plates...again

I went back and read a thread about NOS vs. repop sill plates. I also saw these in Rick's catalog and want to know what everyone thinks about them. No, rivets aren't exactly the same as GM/NOS stuff but I don't have $1500 for NOS plates.

They aren't really rivets at all... just little bumps to simulate rivets. You can drill them and add your own rivets, or use them as they are... they aren't exactly like originals, but will keep the carpet from rolling up just the same as NOS ones.
