I bought mine for $535 from Suncoast Porsche. I'll tell you what I also ordered from them are the LLoyd car mats. What I love about them is that they fit the passenger side very well in the Cabriolet with the Bose woofer up front. I ordered just the front mats for $85 dollars. The rep gave me a break because I was ordering the illuminated side sills as well. Couldn't beat the price, especially with the custum order. I got the black mats with "Carrera" in silver and the "S" in red. To order more than one color you have to personally call and place the order with the rep. I'll post pics after I get the install done. They look great. Here's the site for those who are interested. http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=P&Category_Code=996int

The Manual guide doesn't give part numbers for the harnesses, just the sills.
The kit comes complete from Porsche with factory harness included. It's ready to go

Maybe I should change it. Does remind me of the SC430 sills but brighter (and nicer)!

Looks really nice! I guess I better change my order!

Thanks for the pics!

Deven,

Yes I wouldn't go without them. They just look awesome when you open the doors. Best wishes with your ride.

MHC2S,

I would like to personally thank you for making me spend another $600-$900 to get this installed. My $900 satellite parts are not even delivered yet..

I really like those sills. That will be the next mod.

I really love my illuminated door sills.
Now, I posted on this question before....sodoes anyone here have the illuminated door sills on a 997 C4 or C4S??
The reason I ask is that as you can see, mine say "Carrera S" and not "Carrera 4S." Alfie at Ira has not been able to get a definitive answer on whether or not this is correct but thinks (as I do) that there are only two choices "Carrera" or "Carrera S."
If anyone can settle this for me I'd appreciate it. There are indeed separate tequipment part numbers for the 2, 2S, 4, 4S illuminated sills but this may have more to do with the rear fender shape???!!!!????
