Well not really, but im mulling over the logistics of creating my own lighted door sills (ive given it lots o' consideration in the past) and now that i have graduated from elementary school i have some more time to give it some thought.

This is just a mockup of what i hope the final product will be like once its completed, here i used the "TSX" logo but i hope the end product will look like this (thanks cu2 guys):




I decided to go with the TSX logo since its really simple and i didnt wanna waste a ton of time cutting out the acura lettering for a mockup

1) dremel, spray paint, printer, sandpaper



2) exacto knife and some stuff i just learned in 8th grade:



3) my beautiful hand



4) externally wired via battery pack







OPINIONS WELCOME OR WHATEVER

Wow KillerG, I am impressed. Very well thought out. Instead of battery pack (I know this is a mockup),try splice into the lower door light.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

KillerG

yeah, thanks to your awesome help from many moons ago (still got all the info you sent me), when i do the final project im gonna tap into the door lights, thats assuming i ever complete this project.

I got about 2 months tops to finish this so well see what happens ~_~

Keak

Looks beautiful. Definately love what you did there. I wish my inspire lights from japan came with CF.

ed_423

good stuff killer, i think this proves several things:

1. you actually do own a tsx
2. you dont just troll around on the forum and do nothing productive. this is a 1st for us
3. you are not as much of a douchebag as many had previously thought.
4. but you are still a tool.

but i have to say, great job man. i'd prefer, instead of cf vinyl, some aluminum would look classy. but now it looks pretty balling, very nicely done !

nice hand.

Euronoob

That is so cool.. I wanna know.. how to do that. Equipment required etc etc.. Is it chunkier though? Where your door step is now? As in, is that TSX piece thick? How's it lit up anyways?
*noob*

HondoGermany

Go on with that, looks good !

live2hit01

im actually pretty impressed. I think it looks really good, and I actually like the cf vinyl, it flows nicely. I say you finish it.

KillerG

the original sill is sitting in my room, and thanks for the positive comments guys

im still not 100% sure how ill do the final myself, i have a couple ideas im kicking around and waiting to hear back from some people in the meantime

heres another shot, this is just an acura stencil i had done a few weeks ago and never posted it here.

What do you think, acura logo, or TSX logo?

Euronoob

Acura for me.

tvac

Nice work! I'm way impressed. Looks cool.

Slade037

What about a KillerG logo?

No one would want that.

Killer, project looks good. CF and aluminum both look good to me. Is there a huge difference in cost for production of either one?

defconskylude

you look half white/half asian.

defconskylude

great DIY. awesome job bro!

do one that says "NO FATTIES ALLOWED"

Euronoob

+1!!

5thTo2nd

wow that looks amazing. Great mod. I prefer "tsx"...or you could do "acura" for the back and "tsx" for the front

russel082581

your light for being indian! must be that gloomy ne weather

KillerG

This is a fantastic idea. Other new ideas include "FUCK THE POLICE" and "IM RICH BITCH"

also, spot on interpretation, im indian, which i guess is like...half white half asian?


Im sure id get really tired of explaining killerG to my real life friends after the first few times lol

I was set on ACURA but after making this and letting it soak in for a while im actually really liking the TSX logo instead...and interesting idea with the front and back... me gusta

I use lots of "special" moisturizer keeps my skin great


Well thats the big question, im waiting to hear back from some sign companies and see what kinda price they quote me depending on the material. I got the idea for CF vinyl cause i figured it would keep costs down. Originally I was gonna make these 100% myself but its really impossible to get a perfect OEM look with just an exacto knife

If the sign companies dont work out or it turns out to be too expensive to produce them even out of like plexiglass or something, im gonna with plan B which is incredibly cheap and bootleg idea i have but who gives a fuck

I actually have clear door sills i created because I molded the originals in special material and cast them in clear resin. They came out pretty good (a whole another fiasco/project) but theres no way to get the lettering perfect and balsa wood was easier to work with for this test

ed_423

i say acura for me, but either one is gonan look balling

russel082581

well you could put TSX on the drivers door so you remember what car you drive when your
and NO FAT CHIX on passenger door hahaha

Mr. NC

I like your....rug

Nice project

ttk5

that looks GREAT! really nice man.

wait, where can I get this "special" lotion?

Mr. NC

Woulda been funny if you spelt TSX wrong

ie TXS, STX, SXT etc

KillerG

well, i can send you a whole load, but it might take a while

its a very hands on process to produce it, sometimes its not easy and it requires a steady hand. . i'll get in touch with my supplier. once i get a firm grip on the production date ill be sure to shoot you a msg.

Mr. NC

Why ed would thank KillerG's post worries me slightly....

ed_423

^what?

BaoZZeR

Sexy!!!

KillerG

im a real thankable guy bro, thats all

YZ450

How about "CU2" you could explained it to non TSX users as "see you too" LOL

KillerG

I doubt anyone will see this but i dont feel like making a new thread and flooding the forum with my bullshit:

Im close to wrapping it up and finalizing my design for cutting, the final designs are in vector format and i am deciding between two types, for simplicitys sake i added color and a CF background





The flank lines have been shortened (needs to be this length for my lighting apparatus) and the TSX logo is under strong consideration

YOUR OPINION

is valuable. please leave it.

Keak

Personally for some reason the Acura stands out and looks alot better to me.

ed_423

ACURA for me

ed_423

yo KG, make a poll for it dawg

KillerG

got it, ed

POLL:

ACURA: 2
TSX: FUCKING NOTHING

TSXKid2010

ACURA for me too, as well.

Still considering the ACURA for the fronts and TSX for the rears, since it's smaller?
I feel that TSX in the front would be too short

TSX2011

Looks good! I would go with Acura instead of TSX. Well, that's my preference though.

Also, the TSX font style you used looks like first gen TSX. Right ?
IMO, the newer style is much better.

KillerG

At the moment, i dont think i will ever do the rears, the rears are curved so i cant think of a good way to replicate these pieces faithfully AND have them cut at a reasonable price

The rears are just gonna get CF vinyled so they match with the front
