If you want to light the door sills on your 2021 Corvette, you’ll have to resort to the aftermarket.
The Corvette Action Center reports that Chevrolet has told dealers that the Accessory Illuminated Sill Plates (RPO VST) won’t be available during the 2021 model year and must be removed from all customer orders because of a supply problem.
The Sill Plates thus join the high-wing spoiler and car cover as C8 accessories no longer available, though after months of waiting, we were finally able to buy an official GM high-wing spoiler through a private company last week so there is hope.
Some outlets on the Web surmise the Sill Plates could return as an option in 2022, perhaps once the manufacturer gets past what are assumed to be COVID-related production problems.
In the meantime, if you’d like to protect your current Sill Plates from the inevitable scuff marks caused by your shoes, we’ve been well pleased with the clear plastic Sill Covers we purchased last week. They definitely look better than the old towels we had been using to protect the sills since buying the car in July!
