Feeler: Anyone interested in Acura w/ red light
I know that blue is the only color available now, but I'm just seeing how many people are interested in getting Acura or Inspire in red.

Alright, i managed to skip work and install the sills last night, heh heh. Heres a writeup with some pictures, i apologize in advance for not having a lot of good pictures.
First, pick one side of the car to work on, i started with passenger, and pull up both the front and rear factory sills. They're held in with clips, so use a little bit of force, but be careful not to break the clips. Now remove the B-Pillar. Should look like this:
Now unscrew the door switch from the outside, the courtesy lights should turn off. This switch is the ground, so wire the black wire from the inverter to this switch. What i did was mount the inverter to the inside of the B pillar and feed the black wire under the insulation out to the switch. In this next picture, my finger is under the insulation and i can touch the wire to the switch, feed the ground from the inverter through where my finger is:
Now take the black wire from the inverter and tap it into the ground either by splicing it, or what i did was to just stick it in where the wiring harnesses connect, and tape it together.
Take the factory sills, and wash them off so the adhesive will stick. Now take the factory sill, and make a hole in it for the wire from the lighted plate to go through. I didnt have a dremel or anything, so i just drilled 3-4 holes with a drill and filed it out a little bit.
Feed the wire from the lighted plate through and connect it with the matching end from the inverter.
Now take some of the extra wire given in the package, and strip the end, and connect it with the red wire from the inverter. This wire is positive, and will plug into the fusebox. what i didnt figure out till later is to leave the wire as it is (red and black, no need to separate) and then use both as +, one for the front sill, one for the back, keeps things neater. Run the wire underneath the sills and such and into the passenger side fusebox. Cut off any excess (be sure to save it, i almost ran out of wire), strip the end, pull the 3rd fuse on the right, put the wire in, put the fuse back, and wiring on one of ur plates should be done. I know the setup right now to the fusebox is pretty ghetto, im gonna get an Add-A-Circuit later.
Pull the backing off the adhesive from the lighted plate, and stick it to the sill, then take the backings off of the adhesive from the sill, and stick it to the factory sills. Dont put the sills back into place yet because the B-Pillar goes under the sills. Now pretty much repeat the process for the back, take some wire, wire it to the door switch, (i ran it underneath the weather stripping) and then wire the red to the positive wire coming from the fusebox. The other side is similar, but i took the other bundle of wire, and fed it from the passenger to the drivers side from behind the radio and then ran it under the sills.
More pictures later.

Hey,
I live locally in Orange County, any chance of buying these sills and getting them installed? Not too good with wiring. If I can get them installed, I would pick them up, I work in Newburgh.
