I need a good shot of the sill. Most of the pics are too small and can't be enlarged very well. I really need to see the lettering on it.

How bout those guys that have them....Nate?

wow your car must fly with all those mods. It must be just as fast as a type S. I looked at your pics the car looks great. I wanna get the CAI but i hear some bad things about it. I also heard it's not good for long higway driving this mechanic told me who knows i think i'm still gonna get it. Also the rims are great i like the handling with the stock rims and tires it must stick to the road like glue now.

Well..I'm sure they should have the door sills in Parchment also for the parchment interior.

If you look at the pic on honda's site they look dark because of the shadow. This the only "METAL" door sills I've seen for inspire.
If they have them in colors I would like to see them so I could add them to my site.

i have a question. for sure when you get into the car you would be careful not to scratch or rub the sill with your shoes. however, how do you make sure other people who entered your car NOT to scratch them? they always have a tendency to step on the sills for no obvious reasons

Problem I think is that even with the Inspire door sill, they wil not protect from scratching. If you look carefully where the Door sills go, they do not cover the plastic part above where the door sills go, which is where most of the scratching WOULD occur. They are somewhat more for looks..but do serve a small purpose.

Get a piece of Xpel (Clear Bra material) and lay it over the sill.

It's cool...they'll be reopening the thread soon. SoundSpeed just wanted to make sure it was OK with Tim...and while I had talked with Tim about dealing with them and sending them a trim kit...I had not explicitly asked him about the thread. So I'll get in contact with Tim...probably Friday, and make sure it's all OK, as well as set up him shipping the trim kit to that company and all that. Then we'll have our sills...they sounds like they're going to have a badass turnaround time. I encourage everyone to go over to that thread, call Jeff at the number I posted, and talk to him about it.

But enough of the groupbuy...I don't want to post more about it until it's cleared...so a more general question...what do you think about these four designs:
Acura Type S,Type S, Acura TL, and Acura. Any other thoughts? I think that Acura TL-S may look stupid...and I know just plain TL-S would. We could maybe do 3.2 TL and 3.2 TL Type S...

Got em covered I think...so well unless others suggest more I think we have 4 for the TL and 4 for the TLS, or something like that...and we'll vote on those.

fahoumh:
Ha Well it's up to you...the Inspire look nice. Personally I think I want the one's we're doing to look a whole lot like them...maybe instead a brushed aluminum plate and chrome (shiny) lettering...or vice versa. Are you on that other thread I'm referring to?
