In your honest opinion, what looks nicer. The AE sills or the Illuminated indiglo sills??

 

They both look nice, but if you want a cleaner look the AE sills are better....

 

it depends on your personal taste - both look slick, IMO I'd go for the AE sills~

 

personal opinion, but alot of the 'lighting effects' on cars push them down the road toward RICE!!!!!

 

they're not headed towards Rice-ville - they're pretty clean. It would be tacky if the font was different - it looks pretty clean for what it is...

 

but yeah, they are....

 

INDIGLO= GAY

 

I have them & get lots of compliments when they illuminate at night
well worth getting for looks

 

I think both are nice. The AE's are to easily found and cheaper. Indiglo's are hard to find and more. It's a matter of opinion...

 

Hahhahahaa... INDIGLO does equal GAY. Go with the AE. Keep it classy.

 

i am getting the AE sills but I'm just saying that the indiglo ones aren't that tacky looking

 

I think i'm gonna change the indiglo to a standard (yellow/white) colored light once i get them. I had an ML320(SUV)last year and Mercedes has illuminated doorsills available for all of their vehicles, and they look FRESH! They're not indiglow though. I'm gonna mess with my sills when i get them, and try to turn the light from blue.. to yellow.

 

good luck...you will need yellow plastic type of tint to put behind it....you'll understand when u get them

 

keep us updated with that project~

 

The AE sills are really nice. But the Indiglo ones aren't too bad. They are really clean looking, with the chrome and lettering. From what people have said, they fit well, aren't that expensive, and from pics, they look pretty good. I would be willing to consider both options.

 

Plyfender, where did you get yours from? website?

 

i just installed the AE Door Sills. Check out my homepage to see how i installed them. I prefer these over the illuminated ones becuase they look classy as opposed to tacky.

 

AE door sills

 

for those who call the illunated door sills rice.. u know some mercedes come with illunated door sills rite?? hwoever they're not indiglow they glow a light bluish hue.. it does look better but i gues the indiglo will suffice... i've seen it on cefiros in taiwan and they do look real clean. during the day they aren't all that noticable but at night wow they are awesome.

 

ILLUMINATED:COOL, INDIGLO:GAY

 

I ordered mine from Ebay just type in Maxima sills or Maxima door sills, or maxima door.. or whatever. Right now i think that's the only place you can get them. They're not manufactured through a specific company I don't think.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1847622129 that's the Mercedes blue colored door sills. The door sills that were offered when I had my ML320 were yellowish/white. Not blue. But you guys have to admit, that blue looks Phat! Now i'm thinking about changing the color from Indiglo greenish blue, to more of a blue color that would match the gauges on my SE. What do you guys think?

 

AE look better in my opinion

 

That would look much better. Keep the indiglo on a Timex where it belongs.....

 

My worries are that if I ever had an electrical problem with the interior the service department would bust my ***** over it. They would try to blame anything on me (and the lights) as humanly possible.

I've read other threads about people having difficult times with warranty repair work over things like this. Maybe when I am out of warranty I would start to hack into the electrical system, but not now.

Just my opinion....

 

 

I havent seen the indiglo sills on a Max but from my own experience the AE sills are tight. I put them on and love the look!!

 

check out the other thread and you'll see the pics they posted

 

Yeah, I just did the search on ebay and found a set for the Max. I dont think that color foes too well with the interior lighing of the Maxima. It does seem to lean a little towards ricey but thats just my opinion. I think it would look good in European cars since they have that bluish light for the interior anyhow.

 

good point - the illuminated sills would look better with 2k-2k1 SE's, since their gauges have the blue color...

 

every once in a while I actually make sense...

 

there is some blue in the ring of the gauge, but in no way do our 'gauges have the blue color'

 

did I say those SE's had BLUE gauges? no
However, I did say that the gauges had some blue color. there's a difference in those 2 statements. I was just saying the illuminated sills would go better with those SE's b/c of the partial blue in the gauges compared to putting it on a 2k2 where there is no "blue" at all

 

 

I'll definitely want to install these if all four sills look blue like in this picture

 

Anyone know if the Indiglo Sills are actually two different colors like in the photo?

 

there were posts where people said the back sills are just chrome - only driver/passenger are illuminated - might be wrong though..

 

Hey y'all,
I was soo frustrated with the install instructions with the illuminated door sills that i decided to just go have them installed. They look TIGHT!! The installer made them sooo clean. he made all the wiring go thru the wiring bundle between the door and the body of the car, it's a perfect install, better than i've seen on here. I only had to pay labor.. (which is kinda expensive) it's 50 bucks/ hour but it only takes the guy 45 minutes. If any of you are in the Atlanta area and looking for a good place to get your illuminated sills installed, go to Gene C. Truck and Auto Accessories in Morrow (right next to Southlake Mall). Their number is 770-968-4273. see you guys later

 

So now that they are finally installed, are the rears illuminated too...Or just the fronts? If all 4 are illuminated, are they the same color? Lastly, any 'real' pix?

 

No, only the front two light up, they look really smooth. I'll take some "Real" pics tonight and post them somehow, even though i don't have a website to host them on, i'll figure out a way to show everbody. I don't know why there haven't been any real pics of them installed yet.. ??? Just those dumb photo-shopped ones on ebay..
