Resurrecting this thread because I wasn't about to pay $200-$300 for door sills with a tiny single red R LED... went ahead and ordered these for just under $70 ($50 for front sills and +$20 for all 4 doors). Little more gaudy than OEM, but WTH, I'll give it a shot.
Cant wait to see installed pics...i got a good deal on my OEM lighted door sill set...so thats what i haveResurrecting this thread because I wasn't about to pay $200-$300 for door sills with a tiny single red R LED... went ahead and ordered these for just under $70 ($50 for front sills and +$20 for all 4 doors).

Checked out the site...looks good. I too would be interested in seeing your pics after install. If my car doesn't sell by spring, and if I do this, I want to make a custom logo with my R# on it. When I was checking choices, it asked for civic X vs civic X coupe...I know coupes typically refer to 2-door, but other definitions online say it can also be the "sportier" version of a car. Which did you choose? Just curious. Thanks!
Pics?
AFAIK coupe is always the 2-dr version. I got the ones for the FK8 type R, 4-dr.
Hard to capture, so I applied a bit of Contrast etc to try and bring it out below...
I see what you're talking about, and most likely feet from ppl getting in or out. Unless you recently had any work done under the dash where someone may have been lying on it trying to reach something...Hard to capture, so I applied a bit of Contrast etc to try and bring it out below...
The damage as you'll see is toward the Front (away from the logo) and around where you can see my overhead garage 4-panel lightbulb.
It's like there are 3-4 lines / creases that go from the left toward the right across the panel as you go up or down the thing and then one obvious dent. Literally NO ONE drives this car except me. No one even gets IN the driver's seat except myself and two shops (my dealer, and my fabricator).
While the dents kind of line up with where your foot might end up, given that I own / drive / mod and pay for everything on this car, one can imagine it probably wasn't me. A scratch if I dragged a boot over the sill, maybe I could see that, as we do have a gravel driveway. But this is almost like someone carelessly bashed it repeatedly. There is zero corresponding marks or damage on the passenger side too. There is nothing on the door panel that could result in this specific strike pattern either. The only thing I can come up with where I am at fault is if the seat belt buckle got caught in the door jam, but the thing is that my seatbelt is super fastened with additional buckles and alcantara pads like for AutoX, and I put it over my shoulder onto a magnet pad, I don't just let it dangle in the breeze, so I just don't see it even possible to get the buckle in that area. Dunno... I'm wondering if one of my shops did that somehow though.
UPDATE: nope don't think it was the seatbelt ... I just tried putting the seatbelt buckle in this area, and even with my crazy setup, it's next to impossible, the retractor will pull it back even if you try to get it near this zone, even if you try and created some slack with the shoulder pad.
Installed the other day, super easy, super happy with them. No harness needed. I did not do an install video, but I can make one if anyone wants.
Installed, super easy, super happy.
You’re a damn genius hahaReal easy, the $230.00 and up "kit" that Honda sells is much more expensive than just buying the 2 sills and the wiring harness. The clips and tape are easy purchased locally for cheap. Here is a copy of my invoice from Bernardi Honda where I purchased my setup.
These Look like they will put whatever you want on them.
