OEM+ Illuminated Door Sills - FL5 and Si

[RUNN1N]

The FK8 front sills are 22 inches long as well, and a hair over 2 inches wide. However, note there is that raised ridge on the sheetmetal that the accessory sill contours over. Do your sills have the same contour (e.g. does the FL5 sheetmetal also have this ridge)?

The FK8 rear sheetmetal also has a raised ridge. Also, you mentioned your rear sill was 12 inches long. There is about 10 inches of completely flat sheetmetal, but a 12-inch sill might need to be ever so slightly curved up on either end (~1 inch on each end). If the sill material is flexible and the adhesive is strong enough, it may work, I don't know.

Ah—good to know. I wasn’t aware of that contour and my sills are flat on the back (as is the FL5 sill area).

I believe a 3D printed shim could solve that problem, but I’m just hocking sills—shims are a different department.

Darn, knew this was too good to be true. Your sills looked nice. Let us know if you ever decide to do the full package for the FK8 peasants.

So I debated doing another run of them in camo, but I had more people reaching out with interest basically saying they were interested in a set of 4 door sills but the camo was a little too fanboy (my interpretation, not their exact words), so it seemed more likely that a group buy would be possible with the logo on black.

I also found the camo doesn't fully block the LED behind it, so it has a bit of glow to it--it's not as bright as the logo, of course, but I only want the logo to pop (similar to the Type S illuminated sills).

These are plastic from bottom to top, and are waterproofed to IP44. The top surface is smooth, flat gloss plastic, like I remember my Type S sills being. You could ceramic coat them, but I suppose you'll have to determine what type of protection is appropriate for your given use. I don't think any of these are designed or manufactured to be used as a step, but I'm unsure what else they might need to be protected from.

I'd be happy with either one. Please keep me updated and let me know how to pay when the time comes.

I’m going to mock up a set for the Civic Si as well—I’ll get something up tomorrow to look at and I’ll update the title of the thread too.

Here's a concept of the Si illuminated door sills I had in mind--the version with green shows where the light would come through:

Still looking at a minimum order of 10 sets to get pricing at $300/set.

I'm interested in a black set.
Seems easier to get numbers up on black than the R-camo
