ok guys i've been thinking of creating some more custom interior touches to add to my car, so i was thinking maybe make another set of illuminated sills. so i decided on making a small prototype for my floor mats. the sills would be created in the same way only bigger scale. this is what i came up with. the material is brushed aluminum, the light source is an EL tape behind a thin piece of plexi. they are wired to my domes. on to the pics


here is the small sill plate the "TL" is exactly the same is the ones on the floor mats


here it is powered up with some white EL tape


i cut out the embroidered "TL" and embedded the sill flush to the carpet, and hot glued it into place.





matches and compliments my OEM Type-S illuminated sills, i know alot of people wont like it cuz of where they live with the weather and such, some people even cover up their mats completely with those fugly rubber covers. but i live in SOCAL the weather is nice for the most part, plus im anal with my car so they will stay looking good for a while.

comments welcome

 

You never cease to amaze me man

 

Damn you made those dude! That's badazz!! I want the sils myself but can't find any...but that's a great idea in my book! I live in jersey and the snow might effect those in peoples cars here. My type s is not my daily driver. I only put maybe 10miles a week so they would be perfect for me!

 

like! holy crap thats nice haha

 

time to make some bank! lol

 

creative man im digging it...do the sills light up white as well??

alos hows the wiring to the mats? think itll be kicked and ripped out?

 

jaime sir that looks AWESOME!!!! professional quality work!!!

 

 

As always Originality as it best

 

thanks dude, I've got some other pretty pretty sick plans for the interior, stay tuned

water wont affect them they are completely sealed. stepping on them wont damage it either, they are flat less than a 1/4" their position is not right under ones foot but back towards the seat so they should be cool, and avoid damage

thanks

lol, lets not get this thread closed by the mods, nothing is for sell here....
thanks, yes they do. i got these over two years ago








the wiring runs on the underside the mat and goes under each seat the wire is not visible at all, the mat can easily be disconnected from the power source i used these connectors

 

really like what you've done here...well done.

i wish they still made those lit up door sills...i'd be all over that.

 

absolutely amazing. I love all of the simple yet sophisticated touches that you have on and in your car... I can't wait to see what else you have in mind

 

thanks John

LOL! thanks Romeo is what i did when i seen the fitment on them Equips, loco!!!

thanks man, i was bored

Raising the bar once again!
Very nice.

Very nice work man.

That's pretty awesome. Nice work!

 

unblievable

 

Jamie, I love you. I want to drive to Cali to see this car in person. Friggin sick.

 

Looks so clean, like it was OEM!

 

wow

 

yeah, the guy who made mine did some quality sills. the supercomputers one i never really liked. fitment issues.

i try to mod my car that way, "stock" but not really. subtle and clean.
i got to man, thanks.


^^^ thanks guys

hmmmm.......maybe? i wanted to make the sills a while back, but i read somewhere that another USR was gonna make them. i think they abandoned the idea.



im in the OC, La Habra
^^^

dooo it!!! we'll be the "wonder twins"

that was the goal here.

 

I need to shoot you a PM...methinks you and I need to get a trade going for some machined goodies for an LED board...

 

that's creative! i like. hmmm. group buy? haha.

 

nice

 

hella gangsta!

 

I like it! maybe if you do make these for the floor mats you should make one in red so it can match the footwell lights in the type s. someone was selling the illuminated sills but I didn't buy them, since I had my accident back in June. I wasn't sure if I would get my car back or not and thats why I passed up on the sills. I'm hoping to find them again in red.

 

looks good

 

Wow...this is nice man... good touch!

 

So clean!

 

Looks good Jamie!! I'm digging it. Where did you get the brushed aluminum from?! And the el tape you got it from glowhut as well? I haven't had time to get back on trying to cut the oem sills yet myself.

 

u are not so far from where i live, let me know when u are free so we can meet sowhere

 

Nice and creative, can't wait to see what else you have in store.

 

i was thinking, if you're worried about them getting scratched and such, pick up the screen protectors for phones and stick it over them.

 

completely speechless.............in a very good way.

 

LoL, I got all excited when i seen you started a new thread...

looks good bro. Like the subtle touch.
