Stainless? No rust...

 

i havent seen this .. wow back lit would be fly!

I am sure that depending on the design of these sills, .. certain tweaks (such as puttin very tiny bulbs in the lettering gaps and hooking them up to the same fuse that causes the dome lights to turn on when the doors are opened) could be made to put some back-lighting on these too

 

maybe "No Rust" but definitely not "No fade"

 

well... theres plenty of factors in the debate.

the biggest... the plastic the sills will sit upon.

rest assured... whatever we go with will be what delivers us the best blend of quality/durability/longevity/aesthetics.

cost will remain the same in either case.


the statement that they would be "taped on crap" is foolish... the adhesive application is even more widely used then the screw on application. most car manufacturers who put sills on from the factory use the adhesive type.

 

if i want a set what do you think they would charge for shipping, say to long island where i am at. this definitly sounds good. i dont think any other cl by me that is will have.

 

shipping will be included in the price.

 

aight, if you get me the details when ever you get em, i will want a set.

 

but you have a first gen and ours arent getting made yet.

 

they will get made tho... and not 2 yrs from now.

after saturday well start talking about First Gen production.

 

sweet

 

i thought they said they had both types going down there.. my bad if i was wrong

 

soopa, would it be possible to shoot off an email to those who responded positively on this thread when the sills do become available? (did you say saturday??)

work has been really rough lately and so I cant be on here as regularly as i used to .. and i really want to get these as soon as they are available!

Would this look good on a Parchment interior ??

 

fo' sho!

I have parchment and I will be rocking the sh*t out of these!


ken: course youll be able to use paypal. in fact it will be preferred!

 

Hey! Count me in, too.

 

I'm intrested, however a few questions:

1) If screw mounted, will this mean drilling into ONLY the plastic existing sill? Or into the plastic and through to the metal door frame?

2) Will the font be the ACURA type font? Or just some standard font? Can we get it like the NSX font? (But of course to say ACURA)

I woud LOVE to see these ASAP. I am already thinking up ways to backlight them.

Thanks

 

Someone on the TL board did indiglo stock door sills. I think ACURA lit up and it looked really good. Might want to do a search on it

 

Yes, the screw in type are only viable if they screw into the plastic only. No metal to metal screwing.

The font will be standard Acura font.

 

Soopa, what are the chances of gettin it done with the NSX font? I think that looks WAY cool!!

 

count me in if it is going to be screw on.

 

What do you mean backlight them...how would you do that with a aluminum door sill? I'm confused, please clarify...

 

Well, Simple. I would drill out the ACURA lettering, then file them out so the ACURA lettering is hallow. Next, I will install some 1/8" Plexiglass under the sill (between the new sill and the plastic stock sill) to protect the lettering holes. Then, I would add some Street Lights Tape indaglow lighting under it, but so it is not seen, however the glow is seen through the lettering. Of course this is all theory, and will need to be done as-I-go. If there is enough space for a 6" neon tube, then I will use that.

Another thought would be more simple, When installing the sill, instead of mounting it flush with the plastic sill, Use 4 or 6 small washers on each edge, which will allow the new sill to hover above the plastic sill, then you can add the tape-like lighting underneath it so it glow out of all 4 edges. Like I said, this is all theory as of now.

 

Hey, count me in on a set of those!! How do I get them? Are they a tight fit and don't rub?

They look nice. Think it would look good on a red car with parchment interior?

Thanks!
