Anyone know where I can get the illuminated door sills for 2008 tl type-s?

 

as far as I know they are not making these anymore. I know someone else looking for some as well. Keep an eye on the Black Market section here and maybe someone will be selling some. There were some f/s last week but they went QUICK!

 

i actually have a set that i NEVER installed if you want them. they are for the Type-S. PM me if interested.

 

why did they stop making these anyway?

 

Will the Type-S sills not fit on a base TL?

What color are the lights? Red?

Let me know please.. I might be interested.

 

yes they fit, yes they are red, and they are gone, I already checked....
get it together Trew

 

^ LOL

hahaha, but the war continues!

 

maybe not. the guy said he was going to pay last night but i havent heard from him. im going to wait 1 more day before i do anything though. if tomorrow (tuesday) he doesnt contact me then wednesday they will be all yours.

 

PS: here is the install (DIY) (thanks to Steven Bell for giving me the link):

 

sorry work was swamping me.. i think i'm the guy paliknight is talking about.. payment was sent right before this post.

 

hahaha, you gotta be quick, Trew would have snatched them up, those would've looked sooooooo sexy in his car with the disco ball and and rope lighting he has

 

Lol he has a disco ball in his TL?
Your quick lol. Im shipping them today. Let me know how it goes.

 

yea, he has some crazy rope lighting shit too, it's straight out of the 80's

Trew - where you at....we want pics!!

 

I'm thinking of manufacturing these this summer.. I've been playing around with some designs... Do you think there would be enough demand.. or do most people who want them already have them?

 

Well, you're welcome to manufacture door sills, as long as you're not charging too much, has high finish quality, and easy for us to install the mod, sure, why not...

Remember, to include TL-S (red red), not the fade red like I've seen in someone's pictures...

 

hm if I did do them they would be re manufactured OEM's. I would probably aim for the $199-$249 price point, but this would depend on my final supply costs. I'm only really interested in making good pieces. No offense to any other manufacturers, but some of the cheap ones I've seen are pretty bad. The hardest part seems to be getting the letters to be exactly flush with the rest of the piece. From what I've seen even the OEM rebuilds haven't made it completely flush..

Would the letters being about 1/8"-1/4" into the aluminum take away from it?

 

Well, that's kinda high.... Considering, Bimmer OEM are selling for 858 (4 illuminate door sills)...

Too bad, Acura doesn't make these....

 

I just got mine via FedEx yesterday. The install is Tuesday night. Pictures to come !!!

Didn't see an answer for "why did they stop making these anyway?". Anyone know? I just got a TL-S and now want a set of these :/.

 

I have got to have these in blue.... The search begins.

 

Koshia, Trew-I got mine by posting on the Black Market with a "Willing To Buy" thread. I got lucky and found a fellow Acuraziner who didn't want his anymore.
Here's some pics of my newly installed sills.

^^ Dem's da ones. I got lucky with another A-Ziner as well. Keep your eyes open and be ready to move quick.

Trew, I was looking for the blue ones, too. I was able to buy a set of reds and they look real nice.

tc48--you would be basing yours on a set of OEM sills? That would be nice, too. I found myself lamenting over covering up the OEMs with these (I think they look nice), until I saw the reds lit up at night. A logo would be a good addition, too. Make 'em in blue to match the dash and you've got a sale!





BTW, a big THANK YOU to CarrieLynn for the V-LEDs discount code---I made great use of that!

Did anyone notice how quickly Steven Bell's sig changed? Just razzin you, Steve. They look great. Monitor them closely. My front passenger side peeled away and gave a helluva rattle. I had to add 2-3 layers of 3M tape before it would stay down.

 

You can't modify the original door sills right now to illuminate by adding LED strips underneath of the sills? (just wondering)
