I am relatively sure the lower front valence would get ruined driving around here. I would have no problem, however, ordering the side skirts and rear lower apron on a lighter colored car. On midnight, I really don't think it will be that noticeable - until, of course, it starts getting stone chips in it.

I shared this thought exactly, before I got my car. I had read so many good things about the illuminated sills, that I finally decided to spring for them.

I swear I love them now that I have them, and they are one of my favorite "non-must-have" options. It is what you see each and every time you get into/out of your car, and looks very cool.

Fine without 'em, too, but I'll bet you would love 'em if you had 'em.

Do you have the SS sills or the Carbon?

In my opinion it looks fine and makes a good contrast on my Meteor gray, on blk or mid night blue no issue.

Subbie, very nice. Where does the illumination come from? I see white under the turbo logo, but that could be white paint.

It looks like the carbon version extends the whole way across the sill - is this correct?

Thanks. I'll stick with just the non-illuminated CF sills I have coming.

What's the cost for that little ditty? I would be ok with it if it came in stock trim.
