JM, I don't think these are made anymore at all. You might PM Super Computers and see if he has anything left.

^^^Thanks Neil..I agree with you about the '07/'08's. The sills look really great at night! I'm really glad you kept on me about getting them.

They aren't surface mount. Looks like 1.5" (+/-) wide EL with a plastic facing on it for the lettering. The strip that goes on the metal is very thin and somewhat flexible.

I was worried about that.....sorry bro'.
JM, Buda knows better and has the answer to your question below. But the install I thought was very tedious and took 4-1/2 hours. Buda did an outstanding job and really made it look simple. Honestly, I would have been totally lost without him. Since he has done this mod to his car, he really made it look easy. But he was the one under the dash digging out wires and patiently stripping out sheathing to insure we had a good connection as well as doing all the electrical connections. The man is a lifesaver!!!
Thanks!

Damn, if I could do the same to the stock sills (aka flush mount), now that would be incredible, but hell that's mean drilling holes into the body, etc. Buda did a great job for you and it looks sweet. Kudos to you and Buda for the great job making it work.

I need to let Buda answer that. But I can tell you that it was a flat board with the Acura logo on it with a plug in. The board is separate from the sill plate.

Buddy, maybe try a Willing To Buy on the Black Market section of Acurazine and see what happens. That's how I got mine. Plus, maybe PM Super Computers and see what he can do for you.

Thanks Vini! I just got lucky and found someone on the Black Market that wanted to sell theirs to me. I sure wish these were in more abundance for everyone else. They seem to have gotten popular again.
