R U Interested in 8th G door sills?

[dash242]

I've got a client that manufactures after market and OEM accessories and would like to know if there's serious interest in combining our buying power and possibly purchase some custom door sills....??

Please post if ur serious. I have no idea how much $$ we're talking about and then there's the whole agreeing on a style... Wanna gauge the interest before asking my contact to work up an estimated price range for us.

[shocksyde]

I'm interested. Looking for something simple, don't need anything to gaudy.

[onewheelup]

Im down... Coupe

[dash242]

Coupe or sedan, please?I'm interested. Looking for something simple, don't need anything to gaudy.

[Bouncnb]

I would be interested. Billet?

Coupe

[Darth Do'Urden]

Interested in Coupe sills...something sporty with a touch of class. Nothing too "blingin' " or gaudy. Accord logo only if at all possible...no brand name stamps.

Basically...no rice.

[DevinKato]

Coupe. I'd buy some right this second.

[dash242]

If anyone's got any art skillz and would like to start a separate thread w/ designs that we can vote on/review that'd be nice.

I agree, no rice - just simple, classy, and looking like it should be on a $40k car (eventho A's don't cost 40 large).

[spacejamz]

Interested in one for a coupe...definitely something that isn't gaudy or flashy...would be happy with a plain black one...

[k757]

I'll stick with my guy and get the billet sills custom made with the design/logo/saying that I want.

For you civic guys, the son sells them as well (Celcius on 8thCivic)
http://www.yoneharaspeed.com/index.html They do really great work. I will likely also get their billet battery strap. I may ask about a one-of-a-kind engine block cover as well.

Here is one photo from my Ridgeline sills that I had chromed, that they did for me. The photo is the one I took when I was selling them

[buuckznguyen]

I'm interested, I like it plain and simple just a normal sill with Accord labeled on it

Coupe.

[Audioslavery]

Totally down with this!

Coupe

[Jay1335]

interested coupe. would like accord v6 on it.

[native.texan]

Interested. Sedan.

[Ryan T.]

I'm interested pending price of course.

Coupe.

[SpenceMan01]

I'd be interested for a set of sills for my sedan. I, too, don't want anything flashy or gaudy (even the chrome ones posted above don't really appeal to me). Nice and simple, look good, yet functional is what I'm looking for.

[shocksyde]

Coupe or sedan, please?

coupe

[BdaGolfer]

Potential interest, depending on the design and assuming they can go north of the border. V6 coupe.

I bought some from a guy thats in Singapore, I got them off of ebay!

Do you have installed pics...Id love to see installed pics of them as Im on the fence about it..

[Honda.driver]

I havent received them yet, just as soon as I do, Ill post pics.

[Kenwood]

I havent received them yet, just as soon as I do, Ill post pics.


Good deal..I am either doing sills or at the very least getting some strips of paint protection film and putting it in the sill area because the sill area is huge and vulnerable..

[BrockPSU]

I would like to have either a plastic that matches the interior, or just plain black plastic ones. The metal ones can be scuffed and don't look as shiny over the life of the car.

[Trip]

FYI

I emailed College Hills Honda to see if the Australian Honda accessory door sill trim would be imported and they said they were working on it. They're also looking for something for the coupe (which is not sold in Aus).

Also, there was a seller on eBay that had chrome-looking door sills for the 8th gen sedan. Emailed him, too, asking about trim for the coupe. I took a bunch of pics and measurements for him and may play ginuea pig to size up fitment. Not sure what will become of it.

I'd been interested in a group buy.

[frainc]

Interested. Sedan.

[rsnsx]

I'm interested. Looking for something simple, don't need anything to gaudy.

Same here, for the Coupe.

[clewttu]

Coupe
reiterate: simple
also a thought, brushed/matte would prob match the interior better...chrome the exterior (brushed vote)

[JamieJam1AIM]

<------ might be interested depending on the #'s and what the sills will say.. if it says " accord Im probably in.. If it says Honda, Im out.... LOL

[k757]

<------ might be interested depending on the #'s and what the sills will say.. if it says " accord Im probably in.. If it says Honda, Im out.... LOLI think Honda corporate will have a few words with anyone who sells the word Honda. Also, many people wanted to mass produce the CIVIC (last C being backwards), and Honda said no. I think some people did it anyway.

[SixPackABS]

I hope this will materialize soon!

[parkaash]

me want!


sedan!

[BStein]

I'm interested. Coupe. :yes::yes:

[HondaTypeSE]

In for a Coupe.

[kendallguy]

Interested, Coupe....and nice simple design please with Honda or Accord

[dash242]

I've left a vm for my client letting him know that I had 25 or more people interested and asked him to contemplate and reply.. Stay tuned.....

Still looking for ideas from folks (pref pics) on design. Am hearing a lot of requests for Accord. Hopefully sum artistic peeps will step-up and put some designs 2gether 4 us to review cuz I don't think we wanna pay the manuf to do all of the design work and then not be able to agree on a design and then the unit cost increases and then people back out and...

So, anyone lookn to show some art skillz?

ACCORD

[Bouncnb]

I was thinking something like either smoked aluminum or brushed aluminum with Accord carved into it in the style it is on the back of the car. Possibly have the H on there also. Something thin. If I was an artist and had the tools I would post something, but I can't draw for anything, and I don't have the stuff to design it.

I know this isn't for Honda, but I had these on my 4Runner. I thought they were nice, but wish it was more styled like I described above.

[talon95]

Interested... sedan.

I also think that brushed metal would look better over the long run, but I'd go with the general consensus.

[zZz LoNeLy zZz]

i've been looking around for one. so i'm interested depending on price

coupe

[SpenceMan01]

Either a brushed aluminum or a black plastic that matches the OEM splash guards. I don't care one way or another about wording.

[SixPackABS]

when will we start ordering

[dash242]

My contact was out of the office on Friday so no new updates. I'm serious about this and appreciate your patience.

I will follow this all the way through and if my client isn't able to or cannot deliver then I will let you know just as soon as I do.

[Mr.accord]

just make them. there is always someone who will buy it.

[DucesWild]

i'm interested for the coupe.

[ROTORYPOWER]

I would buy....for Coupe!!!

[ROTORYPOWER]

Any one like theses??:dunno:

[SixPackABS]

are these for Accord 08 Sedan

[onewheelup]

I don't mind the first ones at all...

[shocksyde]

Contact should be back to the office tomorrow and I'll deliver what I find - will post tomorrow or Weds. Thx for ur patience.

[parkaash]

any updates on this one

[shocksyde]

Anyone have the ones I linked a few posts up?

[motodisney]

Anyone have the ones I linked a few posts up?

Those look nice and I am curious as well if anyone has these and installed them?:dunno:

[shocksyde]

Those look nice and I am curious as well if anyone has these and installed them?:dunno:

I asked the seller if they fit the coupe and he said yes. Lying? Maybe.

Someone buy them and find out!

[Trip]

FYI - Two alternate possibilites...

1) There was an eBay post for brushed metal sills with the new Accord logo for the sedan. I emailed the seller and have been communicating with him. Long story short, I sent him some pics and measurements and some prototype sills for the Coupe are on their way to me. I'm going to check them for fitment. I'll click some pics and post. I'm assuming the ones available for the sedan will be similar so I'll be able to inspect the quality and vouch for the sedan's pieces.

2) I also got a message from College Hills Honda this past weekend. Their door sill products are supposed to arrive this week. If they like the quality and fitment, they should be posted on their website within the next week or two.

[dash242]

Nice Trip, thanks!

[saersxlr8]

COUNT ME IN for a coupe

[shocksyde]

I bit the bullet and ordered the ebay ones (the non-light ones). I'll let you guys know how they work out when I get them.

[Ryan T.]

They have them for the coupe? I've only seen sedan..

Do you have a link?

[shocksyde]

I had emailed the seller asking if they worked for the coupe, and he claimed a coupe owner had bought them and confirmed.

I don't have a link. The guy seems to list them one at a time.

[dash242]

*** Update ***

Client contacted me today and said he'd like to make an impression of my sill using some type of clay that is used in their business. After the impression is reviewed and the most economical manufacturing technique is determined, his corporation will decide if they want to "play" in the aftermarket door sill game.

His statement was that the overseas manufacts will kick his a** on price and that his comp only builds top-notch, high-quality accessories so if they opt to produce, get ready to pay..

I'll keep ya posted.

[shocksyde]

My eBay sills are sitting on my doorstep now!

I'll test fit them tonight and let you guys know how they look, fit, etc.

[Honda_Chicken]

I'm interested in a set for the coupe if it looks simple. I found this set on ebay, link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-2008-08-ACCORD-INSPIRE-JDM-SILL-SCUFF-PLATE_W0QQitemZ230244509876QQihZ013QQcategoryZ3363 8QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotoho sting).

[bruceleroy]

looks like it needs to be longer

[shocksyde]

looks like it needs to be longer

Why? they cover the area where feet would be

[parkaash]

looks cool! :thmbsup:

now am thinking of gettin' a set for meself too - the sedan version!

[clewttu]

yeah, longer would be better, the coupe door opening is wider due to rear seat entry..still looks good, i like the style of those

[dash242]

I like the style too.

My scratches are on the ledge where ur plate sits and also on the notch below.

Client reviewed my sills, noted length and current scratch placement and will share it w/ his R&D team for a feasibility review.

Stay tuned...

[leggysoe]

looks like it needs to be longer

i totally agree. it looks too short...

[LateNites]

It looks like they are the length for a sedan not for the coupe. They would definitely look nice if they were longer

[shocksyde]

Yeah, they're designed for the sedan. I do dig the style, though. Maybe if the guy I got them from releases a Coupe version I'll pick them up. For now they'll do, though.

Do they have the lip for the step down on the ledge of the door (that 1/2 inch or so?) It appears they do by looking at the pictures but it's hard to tell for sure. I have a sedan so I think these might just be the ticket. :dunno:

Thanks

[Trip]

I received a set of prototype door sills for my coupe.

I have more posted on my website:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3043791/2

"The 2008 Accords don't come from the factory with door sills. Someone on eBay made some prototypes for me to try. Here are some initial shots. They fit pretty well and have a nice finish. The finish is a brushed aluminum look that matches some of the dash trim. The slim rubber border adds a nice refined detail and ties the sill in with the weather stripping - makes it look like a factory piece. The sills are somewhat thin and they were slightly bent a bit during shipping but it wasn't anything that I wasn't able to bend out. I'll advise him to use a stiffer shipping container for future shipments. They attach with two way adhesive tape which I didn't try yet.

If the price is right, IMO they're not bad. Sitting on the door sill they look OEM and very solid. They look good and they'll do the job well enough - prevent scuffing of the paint. The sill's long term durability remains to be seen."

Let me know what you think. He hasn't set a price yet.

Also, College Hills Honda hasn't gotten back to me with their offering yet.

[drvalu]

Trip - they look very well made and near OEM. My only concern is that they don't extend far enough down to the second "step" which is where scuffing seems to occur on my car. I had the clear 3M mask material applied to my coupe and had it taken down to the last "riser". Doubt that would work with this type of metal sill. I'll be interested in other opinions.

If it did extend over the 2nd lip I think it would start interfering with the door (?).

Look pretty good. My concern is that once placed down, the adhesive -whatever, that is used to hold the sills in place will do so. Firmly.

Do they also have sills for Accord 08 Sedan

[catbert430]

I have the same ones as Shocksyde but, from a US seller on eBay.

They are definitely sized for the shorter doors on the sedan.

They look nice and are of good quality but, the adhesive tape is weak; especially on the rears. I will have to add some stickier tape.

[SixPackABS]

@catber430
Could you kindly post the link for the US seller on EBAY.

They offer free shipping and, because I live close to their base in Brooklyn, NY, I got them the next day.

Yesterday that seller had those sills at $60 plus dollars and then when I rechecked on his item today it was now $74.99. Hope he can give members of this forum some discount aheheheheh!

[motodisney]

Was checking College Hills website today and they have a new podcast showing some CRV and 08 Accord stuff including:



Door Sills :banana: they actually show 2 types.

One is lighted (these appear to be the same ones that are on EBay) I like these since they do a good job of covering the sill but I don't need them lighted. Guess you could just cut the cord off or just install them lighted. Curious what i would look like. Hopefully they'll have one installed soon.

The other is just a silver / chrome door sill that you peel and stick. I had high hopes for this one but it's only a half sill protector. :headbash::( It only does the first few inches and doesn't continue down to the second step on the sill. It may give it a bit of bling but imho it doesn't do much to protect them. :dunno:

They also showed a new grill that has some appeal but I'm not sure I like the style may have to let it sink in first.

Mudguards but not just any mud guards but color painted! This irritated me since I just bought a set of OEM blace ones and installed them on my car, I am not going to spend the extra dough to have them color matched especially since I've got a PMM and the black goes just fine with it. But if you have Silver then it might be a nice option.

Headlight protecters that velcro and clip one. Pretty much a clear duplicate of the plastic headlight shell that goes on top of the headlight to protect it from rocks. I guess it would be helpful if I ever cracked a headlight but not sure of it's real usefulness?

I think that's about all they showed for the Accord.

I'll stick with my guy and get the billet sills custom made with the design/logo/saying that I want.

For you civic guys, the son sells them as well (Celcius on 8thCivic)
http://www.yoneharaspeed.com/index.html They do really great work. I will likely also get their billet battery strap. I may ask about a one-of-a-kind engine block cover as well.

Here is one photo from my Ridgeline sills that I had chromed, that they did for me. The photo is the one I took when I was selling them
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q178/keith_757/2006%20Honda%20Ridgeline%20RTS/P2299191.jpg


Here is what the guy I'll be buying from wrote back to me tonight.
Hi Keith, We are currently machining pre-production 08 Accord 2 & 4-door blanks in conjunction with our Civic line. What would the Accord crowd want regarding an engraving. The Accord Euro R logo looks really kewl as does the Inspire logo in addition to the standard Accord V6 logo.
So what do you all like/want for standard sills? What we collectively want will be what he will make as his standard sills. Throw some ideas/designs out there. I sent him the link to this thread, so he will be reading this

Remember, you can always get your sills custom made to the design you want.

If battery straps are desired, he will mass produce them as he does for the Civic http://www.yoneharaspeed.com/index.html . I'm sure he'll make custom engine block covers, but I imagine that it will be costly.

[LateNites]

I would be up for "H Accord" (with H being the honda logo) or just "Accord" but open to other designs

[motodisney]

I be interested in a sharp "Accord" logo. I would probably stay away from any engine designation as that would limit sales and efficiencies in producing the product. i would be interested in seeing the Accord Euro R look.

[k757]

Well, Im in for the door sills and the engine cover as well Id like to see the new accord logo on the car it'd be sweet for the true custom value of it to maybe see "2008 Accord" or *th Gen Accord" but thAT WOULD BE SPECIALTY.. CAN HE ENGRAVE ANY LOGO? ID LIKE TO HAVE THE SOUNDSTREAM LOGO DONE FOR SHOW PURPOSES MY SPONSORS WOULD LOVE THAT ONE.... :)I'll be doing a special order, but still deciding on what to have done. "It's a Honda thing" or maybe Honda's official slogan "The Power of Dreams" on a brushed aluminum sill

I think I remember him saying that he has a booth at the SEMA show in Vegas each year (among other shows).
Here is a slide show of some of his work for the Ridgeline

TBA: 6/2/08 as wellThose look quite nice...although I wish they illuminated in white instead of blue. Oh well. I wonder if they will release a set for the coupe.

[k757]

Here is what the guy I'll be buying from wrote back to me tonight.
Hi Keith, We are currently machining pre-production 08 Accord 2 & 4-door blanks in conjunction with our Civic line. What would the Accord crowd want regarding an engraving. The Accord Euro R logo looks really kewl as does the Inspire logo in addition to the standard Accord V6 logo.
So what do you all like/want for standard sills? What we collectively want will be what he will make as his standard sills. Throw some ideas/designs out there. I sent him the link to this thread, so he will be reading this

Remember, you can always get your sills custom made to the design you want.

If battery straps are desired, he will mass produce them as he does for the Civic http://www.yoneharaspeed.com/index.html . I'm sure he'll make custom engine block covers, but I imagine that it will be costly.

still waiting for the sills to be available
Great! So what design do you want on your sills? This is a time to voice your desires as the guy will design, make and sell whatever we want.

[drvalu]

The Accord logo, much like the trunk lettering - common to both sedan and coupe. It is slanted and will look factory. Second choice would be the "H" logo.

I agree....a simple Accord logo. Just something clean and OEM'ish.

[k757]

I'll give a few more days of desired designs then summarize the top votes. When we give him a design, I'll be able to get prices.

I want custom sills; my guild name and logo..

[k757]

If it ends up being a simple "ACCORD" lettering, which location? left, left-center, centered, right-centered, right.

Also, any other designs desired in the open space away from the lettering? (bar, arrows, etc.)


------- ACCORD ------- , where the bars are a single bar cut-in design

Anyone good with a design tool?

So far my prototypes are holding up very well. The actual production ones are a bit thicker and the embossing is a bit deeper, too. The adhesive has not come undone even with 90 degree temps, humidity or the sills being soaked from torrential downpours. I have hit them with my feet a few times and so far no damage. We'll see how they are at the end of the summer.

I talked with him and he did lower the shipping price from $45 to $23. After I noted that the original shipping package needed to be sturdier (because its such a long, thin box) he said he was going to do so moving forward.

For the $$ I like them a lot. They look OEM and fit well. Friends that have been in the car haven't even noticed them until I pointed them out because they blend in so well. They're 28" long. You can put a tape measure in your door and see exatly how much area it will cover.

[drvalu]

Trip - how has the lower edge just below the sill held up?

I kinda like those. I haven't measured, but have you had any problems with door rub? If I have the sedan can I just order 2 sets of these? Obviously I need to measure. Did you just center yours in the doorway?

I also like the idea of the 3M Clear Bra material. Any idea what a shop would charge to install that? Shouldn't take much material.

[drvalu]

I paid $30 per side here in Charlotte. Very nice and only slightly noticeable when looking for it. Had them run it along the entire flat area, down to the second step.

For my coupe - not a sedan..........

Thanks for the info. That ends up being about the same price. Do most tint shops do that or do you need to go somewhere else?

I went to an authorized/certified 3M installer - who also happens to do tints. If you search under 3M clear bra you should find one in your area.

Keeping an eye on the customized door sill

[elp_jc]

or maybe Honda's official slogan "The Power of Dreams" on a brushed aluminum sill
Glad 'You meet the nicest people on a Honda' is not their slogan anymore. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I guess 'Accord' makes the best sense, but 'Coupe' would be nice too. Later.
JC

[Trip]

@ tbowie . . . No - there hasn't been any scuffing on the door. If there was, I think I would have seen scuffing on the sill plates, too. Yes - I just eyeballed them and centered them. I'm not sure I would order them for the sedan . . .maybe the fronts but they might be too long. They'll definitely be too long for the rear doors. I would go with a set specifically for the sedans.

On a side note, the final production pieces were widened 2cm so they would be closer to the lip on the door sill.

he lowered the shipping but raised the price lol.

Ha! I didn't catch that. I wasn't sure what he was charging to begin with. I thought they were around $45 - $50.

[Accordgal]

any updates? =]

[elp_jc]

I'd consider something nice specifically made for the Coupe. I like every mod to look OEM. Take care.

RECAP: I have purchased Ridgeline sills from him before... FANTASTIC QUALITY and a pleasure to do business with.

Their Civic stuff: http://www.yoneharaspeed.com/products.html


I believe he used the Accord badge for the design. He is open to making custom work, whatever you like.

[drvalu]

Did he use stainless or aluminum with some kind of coating to make the sample? I would definitely be interested in a coupe set.

[piranhaleg]

in for the coupe

[k757]

Did he use stainless or aluminum with some kind of coating to make the sample? I would definitely be interested in a coupe set.I believe they are cut from billet aluminum. For the black wrinkle, (I seem to remember) the has the wrinkle finish applied, then cuts the design.

Here is his (the fathers) thread for the Ridgeline owners. Yes, there are over 1,000 posts with all sorts of custom sills displayed throughout. He has the billet, black wrinkle and can chrome them (as mine were). Who knows, he may have more :) I know that he can color (fill-in) the cuts as well.

Well, both the illuminated and normal side step garnishes are back on CollegeHillsHonda. The instructions say to only install when it's above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, would I still be ok if I order and install them now? I'm in PA and the temp has been getting quite cold now, high 30s mid 40s.

[next_milenium]

Where the h3ll is the side step garnishes for the COUPE? The sedans ones would be too short for the coupe and won't look right. I mean, nissan offers these accessories on their website for altimas. Comeon Honda, get your act together!

[09 ACCORD COUPE]

I know some of you were looking for these in BLACK. I found these yesterday. I emailed Lauz68, the seller about how long the front ones were, to see if they would fit our coupes. His response was 550mm, which is roughly 22 inches, too short imo. We coupe owners would need it to be at least 28 inches long or roughly 711mm. I took a tape measure to my coupe sill and 22 inches seems too short. IMO, it could work if you're desperate, but not for me. I'll wait for the proper coupe ones before I take the plunge. I asked him if he would be getting the coupe ones soon, i'll let you guys and gals know when he responds...

hey all Im working with one of the big dash kit manufacturers to set up a sill plate for the coupes... it would be for the area that is 158 " deep and we'd make them about 20 " long... made from carbon fiber with the softer epoxy overlay and would stick down with double face tape... No idea on price yet but were looking to see if that small of a space can handle a 1" accord logo cut out, the underlay with disfferent colors to amplify the look....

[next_milenium]

It would be nice if the sill can be designed so that it covers the step down areas of the door sill and not just the top flat area.

That's too darn short for the coupe man. I wouldn't consider them at any price. As somebody said, they need to be about 28" long to look right.
