waited 3+ weeks for CL sills ~ got CLs sills
returned them (paid $6 to ship them back)
got the right ones today
and they were in horrible condition

bent like crazy
and the silk screening is horrible
there are many areas where it didn't print on the aluminum

o well i am tired of waiting.. i'll just go install them rite now

sorry about the whining... just disappointed

 

btw the sills are like that after I bent them back best as I could

 

ouch that looks like it sucks ass

you should send them those pics to get your money back

sidemarker

 

 

Can you say refund ? I knew you could.

 

maybe USPS can take care of this , it might be their fault

 

i just emailed jeff, askin for a refund

 

BUMMER DUDE!!! I have seen them in person and I have to say that I was impressed!!!! I hope that you and Jeff can work something out!!! GOOD LUCK and keep us posted!!!

 

i had two sents sent to me and had no problems. did he send them in at tube, for like arctechual(sp?) prints? I thinks its a great price too. The Hamman ones for BMW are $200.

 

yaaa..... but thats hamann.


theres countless aftermarket sills for many cars under $30. heh


it costs less then $10 for a piece of aluminum... you can by from any milling shop a piece cut to your specification engraved and all for $15.

 

So, why didn't u get them made for us, smarty pants. j/k. :P
I like them, imo. I wonder what else we can get made????

 

Mine were also bent, and he was suppose to send me replacements, he basically ignored me and will no longer respond to emails, etc. Last time I am giving him business.

 

i asked for CL-S sills and got CL sills instead. i had also overpaid by $10 accidentally and he no longer responds to emails about my refund or getting the CL-S sills instead. oh well

seems like they arent prepared for internet type sales

 

i've been waiting forever for mine ... austin said they should be coming soon ...

 

mine came in perfect condition in a long triangle USPS box.

 

Mine came in a card board that was bent to make a box with tape all around it. Not a box, not a tube, just a side of a box bent over to make a sealed flat panel.

 

Sorry but here comes a n00b questions. Where do I get these sills from?

Thanks,
Pete

 

I am still waiting for mine, I hope they come soon and not looking like that

 

Mine came in the tube. My tube was intact.
I e-mailed them a while back to confirm they were sending me CLS sills, not Cl sills, and i got a confirmation.

That was way back in july tho, before they got a lot of mail

 

Why those are pretty bent out of shape , but that definitly is the USPS's fault. I got mine in the same tube and it was ok. I had to wait like 6 weeks for mine, but was pretty happy when I got it. He isn't exactly ignoring e-mails, he just doesn't seem to get through all of it fast enough, I mean the guy is handling a LOT of people; CL AND TL. I've learned e-mail will get you no where, if you are really concerned and it is an emergency, you should bring it up to Austin or do what I do and just call. Last time I heard, Jeff was on the brink of mental break down?

 

so who's this austin guy? jeff had absolutely NO problem getting my money but seems to have a great deal of difficulty leeting me know If and WHEN i'll be getting mine?!?! WTF?!

 

A word to Austin:

You know how to eat an elephant ? ONE BITE AT A TIME. Becareful what you ask for !

Your reputation is everything.............

 

Pete, check out this topic: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...ght=door+sills . It's a long one, but just scan it and you'll get some idea.

Personally, from reading this and several other topics.... I'm more and more happy that I decided to NOT order these. I'll feel bad for those who have and are waiting or had a bad experience like in this topic, but I didn't trust them from day one. They were very slow to reply to emails, and even when they finally did they never answered all of the questions......

 

The "price will increase every week" dissuaded me.

 

from someone who has ordered them...has had their money taken from them and has yet to receive any semblence of a pulse from those who have taken my money, DON't DO IT!! or if you are compelled to, i will sell you mine for what i paid for them IF I EVER FUCKING GET THEM!!

 

 

I feel a need to say something here, since I am happy with the sills. I sent my money via paypal on the 4th of July and they were at my door in 2 weeks in perfect condition. Before I purchased them, I tried getting in contact with the company, but had no luck. I then realized later that he is very busy and the best way to find out the info I needed was to go through Austin519. Also, Austin took care of those that were having any problems, and he contacted the company directly.

Yes, the damage sustained by the original poster's sills was caused by USPS. Do you really think the sill-maker would bend them like that before he shipped them? Stuff gets damaged in the mail all the time.

If you have any problems PM or email Austin519!

 

True, however, the seller should have packaged all of them in a cardboard tube... not just a few. That's just common sense....

 

i hope when i get mine, if i ever do get them, they are in good shape..i've already been billed for it, but i haven't recieved it yet...to me thats just kinda odd..

 

its not just the "bend" that I am unhappy about, the silk screening was not good at all. There were many many spots where the silk screening did not print

 

In Austin's defense.....I got mine...and I'm happy...they look good..and are thicker than most sills, my friend who has the aftermarket ones for his miata confirmed that, and miatas do get quality aftermarket manufacturers...
