What's the difference between a sill plate and a step shield?

Part numbers: 17802521 and 17802414

Seriously?

Dude I have no idea ... they are both stainless steel, they are slightly different shapes, so yes, I am serious.

I got scuffs on my front sills that I want to cover up ... quite frankly I wanted something black but GM doesn't make it.

sill plate is the plastic piece, some say CADILLAC on them, some say SUBURBAN, etc. The shield is the piece that actually goes on the metal on the other side of the rubber door seal.

Mmm ...

Sill plate: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/result...ber=17802521&singlepart=1&partnumber=17802521 (Brushed Stainless Steel Finish)

Step shield: http://www.gmpartstogo.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=284418 (brushed stainless steel)

The plate has the bowtie the shield doesn't ... other than that I don't see a 'plastic piece' or how the placement location is different.

I need a small favor from an nnbs Tahoe owner ...

Can you grab a tape measure, pop your hood, and take an exact measurement at the center from the back of the hood to the latch?

Thanks.

38 3/4" from the back lip to the latch straight shot, not allowing for bends.
