no, but let me just add another 2 pence and suggest that
maybe you don't really need to go overboard with these things.
i guess it's nice to have *some* kind of sill protection,
but a gold-plated studded-with-diamonds version isn't really
important since you can only see the door sills when the door
is open.  otherwise, you never see them.
i thought this over and decided the $30 versions do the job well
and look pretty good for those brief moments when the door is open.
