Default Mopar or Spray on?

Ok well i resolved my issue of my wheel locks that some of you guys helped me out with earlier today. By the way thanks again for the help Now the next thing im worried about are my door sills.. ive done some homework and heard two sides i can either spray the sills with Duplicolor/EZ liner or purchase the plastic Mopar sills.

People who bought the Mopar door sills say they hold on great, they look almost like from factory, they should of came with the jeep, etc.

And people who spray lined it say that its cheaper with better quality, protects more, and doesnt leave a huge gap between the door seal and the sill like the plastic Mopar ones do (thats the one thing i dont want, a gap!)

Money really isnt an issue here when it comes to $40. So a little help would be nice to hear on both sides of the story after having them on over time. Do you like them? Do you wish you would of done it different? Etc. Again thanks for the help fellas

I like the MOPAR ones, but Duplicolor would be better coverage depending on how much you paint on.

I couldn't decide whether to spray mine with Duplicolor or put on the Mopar sill guards. Figured I would put the Mopar ones on and if they fell off or I didn't like them, I could always bedline them instead.

The Mopar ones stuck on really good and don't seem to be going anywhere. They cover the area very well. I've read that cause the door seal to let water in if you are in deep water, but I can't imagine I will ever have water up to the doors on this Jeep.

Well that is a good idea with the duplicolor I think I would use that b/c in offroad situations that area can get wet and slick as well and duplicolor is gritty and would provide a non-slip surface if it is wet then on the other hand
the door sills look nice but one draw back is they are plastic and after time would get scratched and knicked up as well espically with rocks stuck in shoe's
