Anyone have Illuminated Sills with white LEDs on the doors?
Does anyone have the illuminated sills installed from Supercomputers with the white LEDs in the doors? It seems like every picture I've seen of the illuminated sills installed have them with the blue LEDs on the doors.
I'm wondering how the blue sills would look with the white LEDs and if the colors would conflict at all.
If anyone has any pictures with their blue sills and white LEDs in their doors, that'd be awesome.
Let me know what you all think

I have the stock white lights with the sills! Hehe...blue would be too ricer for me on the door LEDs. I can't imagine how it would look too much different with LEDs though...aren't they just brighter?
The brighter the lights the less you're going to see the sills lighting up though...they look best in the dark.
The back sills are much brighter than the front ones too, look better IMO.

Thanks for the pics GQ! I actually just got the sills installed the other day and they do look SWEET. They have the light blue tone to them and not the dominant blue which I thought they were going to be. The color is very clean and doesn't make the car look ricey at all. I can't wait to get my new white 9LEDs in. They're going to look awesome with the sills

Hey Dave,
The sills are AWESOME man! Mad props to you!
Acuraziners,
I would highly recommend them. I originally was iffy because I thought they would look kinda ricey but it turns out that they are not like that at all.

i have the 9LED white lights on my car and have been wanting to get the white illuminated door sills, except i know supercomputers' door sills are ones you put over your existing ones and i've been wanting the ones that replace your existing ones...to me, just putting illuminating sills over your existing ones wouldn't look as clean and might take away from the quality too...to everyone who has the kind that fit over your existing sills, do they look a lot different? can you tell there are sills on top of sills? ...i'm just a lil skeptical about that...i think the white illuminated sills would look hot though with 9LED white lights...

^ I'm with you. The guy that sells the replacement sills is on ebay, I heard he still had some sills left. The only thing is that they are more money and I little different.

Pics of our sills are on Slimmy Jimmys car pics are above take a look. As for white we wont be doing white we have Red and Blue only. In my opinon they look like one solid clean unit. However I am biasis ask all the members on here, we have over 170+ Sets out there installed now. Good luck to you on whatever you decide.

The sills that I got from supercomputers did replace my stock sills. The stock sills were just removed and the sills from supercomputers were just put in their place. It looks great and factory. I'm not sure why some others put the sills from supercomputers on top of their current ones when you can just easily replace them. It looks a lot better too.

hmm, first time i've ever heard someone say that supercomputers' sills replace the stock ones...considering they're cheaper than the guy on ebay whose actually replace the stock sills...
i'm even more skeptical now since i asked supercomputers myself back in june if they covered or replaced the stock sills and they said they cover them...

Guys My SIlls Cover the stock sills they dont replace them. I have not seen anybody yet who has used them as a direct replacement. Slimmy maybe you did not see the installer cover your stock equipment. Post pics when you can if possible.

it was time to clear the air on that matter...and i would love to see pics...especially eye level with the side of the sills so i can see the difference between covering them and the stock ones...

yeah, from the pics i've seen you can't tell they're covering the stock sills...my biggest concern is if covering the stock ones doesn't produce as great of an illumination as the ones that replace your stock sills...plus i'm really only interested in the white sills...

Hey guys,
I was actually in the same situation as you rimz in terms of wanting only white sills to match my white interior LED lighting but it turns out that the blue sills from supercomputers still look great and still complement my white interior lighting very nicely.
In terms of my sills covering my previous ones, my installer probably did that but from the looks of it, you really can't even tell. That's why I assumed that they were just direct replacements of the stock sills. Sorry if I gave out any misleading info. Definitely didn't mean to do that. But honestly, I really like the way they look now and they're perfect for me.
Here are some pics. Hope these help. Sorry about the poor quality. I'm terrible at taking pictures.
The color of the sills in the pictures are pretty close to what they are in person. They might be a bit more blue in person but not by much.

In terms of install, I was going to do it myself but I didn't have the right installation tools necessary so I just got it done by my installer. He charged me $50. There are step by step instructions that supercomputers can provide though that make doing the install super easy. It has pictures and everything.
In summary, a highly recommend mod to all

okay, those are some good looking sills...
and here's the instructions for installing them... http://www.sbadesign.com/acurazine/sills/
i would like to say that the illuminated sills in the instructions look more blue than your blue sills jimmy...yours look more white to me, even though they're blue...maybe it's your camera or something, but if i could get sills that matched the color yours are giving off, i'd put my order in very soon...

Also, because my installer did everything, I wasn't sure if my stock sills were replaced but now I'm pretty sure that they were especially since he gave me my stock sills just in case for the future.
Looks like it's possible after all. And not only possible, but the mod also looks really sweet!

well damn, if these sills are able to replace the stock ones, i might be a little closer to buying these...jimmy, i don't suppose you can tell that something might be missing from your new sills replacing the stock ones...? like, supercomputers' sills were made to cover the stock ones, but if the installer replaced your stock ones, then something has to be gone, right? maybe the inside of the new sills are empty or something...
i dunno, i just want to be sure of what i'm getting if i order these...and i agree, like i've been worred about all along, replacing your stock sills instead of covering them will produce a greater illumination...so if i order these, i'll definitely want to replace my stock ones...now if supercomputers would just come out with white ones...

if supercomputer's sills can be used as replacements, then I might get a set.

When I get a chance to take daytime pics, I'll post those up right away. Hopefully those will help. I'm sure that'll give everyone a better idea of what they look like at face value.

As for pictures, I'll try and get to them soon but it's kinda hard with daylight savings time now and by the time I get home from work everyday, it's already dark

Major Update!
The first major update is that the sills that I got from Dave at supercomputers actually CAN replace the stock ones. I know this a 100% now because I found my stock sills and even took a picture of them to show that they actually were replaced.
I'm not sure how my installer did a full replacement especially since Dave from supercomputers said that they're not meant to replace your stock sills but he must've found a way to do it and do it good cause it looks perfect.
The second major update is that I was finally able to take some lighted pics of the sills but since I'm never home during the day when it's light out, I had to go to the lit parking garage at my work to take some pics. The entire garage is lit up with yellowish hued lights so it really showed in the pictures. Don't worry, the sills aren't that color in person
Hope these help!
