Door Sill Replaceable?

Are the door sills replaceable? Is it a simple DIY?

Depends what you mean by "door sill".

Do you mean the rocker panel under the door?

Or, do you mean the trim piece you see when you open the door? (#4)

Trim piece is just popped on with clips, i think. probably pretty simple to replace - just have to order a new one.

rocker panel seems more difficult, and i doubt you'd be able to simply buy that and have it shipped pre-painted.

Yes, just the trim piece. Thanks!
