Arrow TL Door Sills

I should have the TL door sill sample in about a week or so.
They will be availble with engraving, with Acura TL or Acura TL type S (type S logo) or blank, all in set of 4

As soon as I get them in and test fit them, I will post a picture.
For those that want to pre-order, I have added them to the site.

They are on the Accessories Page Above


These will not be listed in the MVC forum at a discount, because the price they are being sold at, is the actual cost.

And the brushed aluminum trim kits should be ready soon as well

Also want to say a special thanks to Austin, it is because of him, that the sills are available.

... yeah.. I like these, that's why.

I hope you don't mind, but I set this to sticky. I know these were popular, so I figured I'd stick it for a couple of days or so....

They were not design by Austin. They are design by the same company. A lot of the detail was workout between austin and the company. Since the sills are no longer a group buy, and they are not allowed on this site. Snook then when ahead and finish some of the details to have them sold on the site as per one order.

Thank you both asutin and tim(snook), for their effort.

So if I understand this correctly, the sills being sold by Tim have nothing to do with Austin, beside being made by the same company?

Did you read what I said?

"A lot of the detail was workout between austin and the company."

Austin found the company and started the whole sills product. But no he did not design it. It was more of a copy from the Inspire Sills made by Honda and sold in Japan. , and Tim sent in the Type S logo to the company etc

I did, and your response was vague to me, and I asked for more information. Please don't respond to me as if I was a child.

That seems to be the only way you understand. J/K

I thought you didn't read, this happens many many times, so I just asume you didn't. I did not respond to as if you were a child, all I did was explain in way I thought you would understand better

He also really doesn't approve of the sills over here...although snook makes it sound like he's all cool with it and agrees. He's all mad over on A-CL.com. I don't see how this post violates any rules or upsets anyone...so please don't go deleting this one.

Just finish talking to austin, They design the sills, but as a graphic designer myself, It would take me 10 minutes to design something like that. It is simillar to the inspire sills as for any door sill. Is pretty much a choice of font and style more than a new DESIGN. If they were very different than the inspire sills, then I would give them all the credit, but in my opinion is pretty much a whatever. Anyways people like the inspire sills, it wouldn't be smart to change it much.

So in what way did Tim have anything to do with those sills, beside buying them from the manufacturer and selling them on his site?

dkrift, I told the manufacture what I wanted on them, how I wanted the lines like the Inspire sills, provide them with the type S logo to be used on the sills...

And on the trim kits, I provided them with 3 different wood trim kits, so they could copy

And all these I will be stocking

Question

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, the sills are the plastic part that runs along the bottom of the door, visible when its opened? correct? How are they installed? They sound very interesting. While I have seen several posts in the last few months about the sills, I have also noticed a little "controversy" surrounding the R&D. Which I personally know nothing about so I won't judge. I have purchased more then 1 or 2 items from this site, I have found the price to be far better then local dealers, and the service was top notch. Although the knowledge I have gained through reading other members post has been the most valuable part of this site. I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope none of this has affected the final product. And everyone should remember this site is a business here to make a profit, like any other business in America. While competition is good for the consumer, this site sells products to stay "afloat", while also providing a valuable service for its users.JUST MY .02$!$! But to heck with the politics, lets see some pics of those sills!

Three questions:

1.) How is it installed?

2.) Does anyone have a picture?

3.) Does it light up at night?

Thanks!

This sills are the same as tha inspire sills, but with different lettering. Like Acura TL (type S logo) etc. Maybe the acura logo on the rear sill or type S logo by it self.

Here is an example:

Installation

Is the installation of the door sills by way of double sided tape, and if so, is it part of the deal? If not, how do we install them? Thanks.

Can't wait to spend some more money on the car. I just love it when my gf finds out about it and then beat me silly for spending more money on it...again.
