whoooa. nice look! those sills are way better than the old ones that was being sold in the black market section (which was in fact pretty cheap looking). as for the navi, if you give detailed info and pics on the install, you will be a god here. lol. but nice work overall!

how difficult was the installation? the one sold on ebay claims that the sills are manufactured by the same guys that did the original. is this the same ones or is it made by someone else?

To save me a call: How much did the custom engraving of the TL on the pedal cost? I'm debating whether I want to go with the plain one or get the TL engraved too? Also, do you find the pedals slippery or should I get the rubber inserts?

I remember seeing these on ebay going for $260 but I thought that was highway robbery. This the ones sold here in the group buy was $180? Someone sold some on ebay a month ago for $100. Are these different for some reason from the ones in the group buy? But they look good

20 bucks per pedal they can do any one or all if you like. no, they are not slippery at all. getting rubber inserts would defeat the purpose of getting custom pedals.

yea kinda expensive, they are oem sills w/ letters cut out and leds inserted, they replace originals, the group buy ones went over originals, these are way better

I have the same door sills and love them. Only problem is the one on the driver's door isn't working anymore. Come to find out the relay was fried. I just sent him an email...hoping he replaces it for free seeing that it was just installed on 4/11. Anyone with these doors sills experience the same thing?

Just a quick update. He's sending me another relay. He mentioned that it sounded like the door sills weren't wired correctly. (I had mine installed at Best Buy.)

If you're interested, I definitely recommend these - great product and great service!

they are varad sl200 led's suspension lights they are actually supposed to go inside the wheel, behind the rotor. that was my intended purpose, then i had second thoughts and decided to put them inside. one under each side of the dash and the other two in the trunk for my custom amp rack and sub. the brightness can be controlled w/ a small button, they strobe, breath effect,alternate, or light up w/ music. kinda cool, i like them.

Maybe not but it's a better alternative to the sill covers IMO. Nothing against them but these are a cleaner install and look more OEM-ish.


I had him make me a set before the price went up...........they look great. Once installed I have some pics up
