Default California Special aluminum sill scuff plate ?

Hi all,

Just picked up a beautiful black 2007 GT/CS California Special with the cloth convertible top. Beautiful car -- just one question. On the door sill plate, on the driver's side, there is an aluminum scuff plate (where it says "MUSTANG"). No such plate on the passenger's side. I asked the dealer, but didn't get a positive answer. On the build sheet (and the online options) it states "aluminum scuff plate" in singular form, but on all the brochures (2007 AND 2008), it is listed as a plural, leading to the belief that there should be an aluminum scuff plate on both sides. Can somebody with a GT/CS please confirm whether or not there is a plate on the passenger's side?

Thanks!

Steve.

I've got two also. You need to get the dealer to cough up the other one.
