Took my wife to dinner with the top up for the first time this winter. Made every shift at 5K, I love this car! Cold air, dry roads, and a smile on our faces.

Installed illuminated door sills. Wasn't sure about this one, but it makes me smile every time I get in and out the car now!

Got it stuck in the snow in my driveway on Pilot Sport 4S trying to get it to the shop to put all seasons on. Missed it by a day.

@TV997S2
This video was the most useful guide for how to install. Removing the old sills without damaging any paintwork is indeed the hardest part.

Linking the lights by tapping the power to the footwell lights is MUCH easier than the "official" way which is to route a wire through to the door and to the power for the lights below the doors.
