You can if you make them yourself. They only come stainless steel on the rear doors.

FYI the blue sills came on the 06-07 if i remember correctly. 08 came in white, i put on whites because i like the color at night.

yes you can pull the back ones too. There are "aluminum" sills for the rears, but they do not light up like the fronts so most people don't swap em out...

You can but you have to splice into the wiring to get it to work.

'06 is not plug and play.

Just remember to switch your roof lighting to 'on with door'. Otherwise you'll wonder WTH went wrong.

Yeah, that was me.
