Illuminated Door Sill Feeler Thread 09+ TL
 
Hey guys as you might now I am the original Maker of Custom Illluminated Door sills for the 3G TL. I was thinking about also doing them for the 4G and wanted to start this thread to poll your intrest. We have over 300 Sets sold on the 3G.

These are what BMW and Mercedes have had for years as a 700.00 option. A nice subtle glow when you open your car door with the Acura Logo Illuminated. Its a real nice touch and looks great.

I would have to get a set mocked up for some test fitments, I will post some of the pics from the 3G TL and you can see the thread here.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...0#post12861400

Sets would be about 205.00 Delivered Let me know your thoughts and if you would be intrested. Colors to choose from would be Blue, White and Red.

You would get 2 Front Sills and 2 Rear and what you need for the install.

Thanks
D

I'm interested!! How hard is the install? And does it include instructions?

Treblig 04-27-2011 10:05 AM

Will they be overlays like your 3G version?

Stew4HD 04-27-2011 10:12 AM

I am interested depending on how they look, of course.

djtanveer 04-27-2011 11:16 AM

im also interested. and curious of they will be overlays or not.

OnefastTL448 04-27-2011 12:06 PM

They would be overlays made of a high end Alluminum they are there own sill but they work covering the original and there are many reasons for that. The fitment will look perfect as they belong there. They are now installed with a Rubber Epoxy and 3m Dual Sided tape for a perfect fit if both methods are used pluse the angle on the 4 g is a little easier then on the 3G. Install is not for a begginer. I recomend going to a radio shop if you have never played with electric before. The new Sills are done with LED and have a nice subtle light.

We would find a user to do a full DIY and do a mock up with a sample set.

Would need a list of 30 people before we could go into pre-production. In order to get on the list a deposit of 50.00 would need to be made if we decied to move forward.

I have over 300 Sets out there on 3G and I am sure you will be happy with what we come up with for the 4g.

Thanks

I'd love to see pictures of the finished product before I commit myself to the upgrade. I'm very very interested though - it was one of the original "mods" I wanted to make when I got my car home

Treblig 04-27-2011 12:27 PM

Can they replace the existing sill?

i think he already established that it goes over the existing sills..

its just taped on top from what he was saying..



also i guess you have to wire it up with your courtesy door light. shouldn't be that hard

Understood. The question is can they replace the existing door sills.

BLACKURA_NY 04-27-2011 01:25 PM

i had these on both my 3Gs... the light/durability and functioning was fine... the rear 3G sills had a nasty curve, which made these look a little awkward.

i think the 4G should be an easier mold to cut for the sills.

Guys in order to get on the list a deposit must be made. Paypal ID is allarndproducts@yahoo.com

I already sent a set of Stock sills to my design Factory in Germany. Will see what they come up with. Look for an est if all goes well of 1st week in July.

I would need atleast 30 commited before I go into production. Colors will be Red, Blue or White.

Thanks
D

I_m_TL 04-30-2011 01:04 AM

That should make the car looks good!!! Will you have a phototype to let us see it first??

djtanveer 04-30-2011 03:09 AM

Stew4HD 04-30-2011 05:40 AM

$205 delivered according to OP with $50 deposit. I just sent in my $50 deposit for a set of blue ones No one else wants these?

Treblig 04-30-2011 06:32 AM

I would love a set but would prefer that it replace the door sills rather than overlay them. I will wait to see a set first.

Stew4HD 04-30-2011 08:50 AM

we may never see a set if we don't get 30 peeps... *shrug*

Iceman52489 04-30-2011 04:58 PM

I guess I'm interested in one even though I was halfway to getting a mockup made from a CNC company. This will save me time. I'll be making the deposit this Friday, Supercomputers.

KillerG 04-30-2011 05:15 PM

2G tsx owner here. if someone wants to take pics of a 4g door sill and measure it and its the same as a 2G car we could buy sets too and help reach the 30. i am very, very interested.

wakattack 04-30-2011 09:33 PM

Steven Bell 05-01-2011 12:43 AM

Treblig 05-01-2011 01:03 AM

Are those overlays?

OnefastTL448 05-02-2011 09:38 AM

Yes they are they go ontop of your stock sills so stock sills are not ruined and the set could be removed if needed.

OnefastTL448 05-02-2011 09:39 AM

Have a stock set on the way to Germany so they can start Specing it. Hope to have some drawings soon. You can send a deposit to get your name on the list. Need at least 30 commited people before we go into production. Deposit is fully refundable if for any reason it does not happen.

OnefastTL448 05-04-2011 08:48 AM

Spread the word fells Need alot more intrest if were are going to try to produce these.

potmilkz 05-04-2011 11:05 AM

so the whole thing is going to be brushed finish?

i actually just want my acura logo to glow and everything else stays black...

OnefastTL448 05-04-2011 11:14 AM

Pot,

They will be very similar to the 3g, They will fit the 4 G based on the 4G sill design and we will reproduce what is on the sill now to Glow. Same like on BMW and Mercedes
Hope to have some mock ups in a few weeks but need at least 30 commited before we even think about production.

so the whole thing will be brushed metal look?

how about creating just an overlay for the acura logo that is brushed and not the whole thing?

or have the brushed metal section black instead of brushed metal.
