I looked at pictures of the '08 door sill versus the '09 sill, and it appears that the profile is slightly different, which may prevent utilization of the old sills on the '09. Let me know if you discover anything to the contrary.

You got it. I really would like something to protect that sill area since I know mine on my Mazda3 got banged up over the 4 years I owned it. Want to keep that Orange Revolution paint as pristine as possible! However, I really don't like that moulded black plastic with chrome Fit logo on top...

I like the 09 design, not a big fan off all chrome. I just returned the Applique actually. It's basically a thin piece of plastic and doesn't look like it would do a good job of protecting the bumper. I'll wait for zeta to make a hard plastic one.

Put my sills in this evening - easy install - - overall I think they "dress up" the appearance of the car - - I'm happy with them
