I just had a pair of the door sills arrive and am having them installed soon.
They look sharp at night.

Jay,

I am a sick man. I shut the lights off in my garage, opened the door and looked at them for about an hour.

Ok part # 997-044-800-54 for Carrera S logo List price from dealer is $585, but you can find them for a little less if you shop around. The kit is complete with door sills and wire harness. My dealer quoted me 4 hours of labor.

Do you have a photo that isn't quite so close..... Did you install them yourself...the price doesn't seem too bad, but 4 hours of labor really hikes the overall price up

Those HAVE to be worth about 10 - 12 hp, at the very least! Looks good!

are all the necessary harnesses already in the car, meaning the sills are the only addition, or do all the extra harnesses need to be sourced?

The Manual guide doesn't give part numbers for the harnesses, just the sills.

Default Sills
Damn, I have the non-lit ones being installed in my order!

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!

Regards,
Deanski
