Illuminated Kick Plates: Couple Q's
 

Stupid question first, kick plates are the same for the base/touring and Nismo, right?

Where is the best place to buy these? Ebay has them for $143 "but it now".

Anyone priced out how much for a shop/dealer to install them? I saw the DIY on it, and it might be above my level of mechanical ability.

yes they fit all the base touring and nismo models.... i bought them off ebay for a hundred :tup: but 143 is the price ul get them everywhere for and as for installing them.. have a lil more faith in urself its really easy man... :happydance:

Just did my own little homework, so I figured I"d pass it on.

$112 to install. Dealer wants $170 to order them!!!

You think it's definitely not worth the $112 to install? Installation on par with the difficulty of installing custom audio stuff or easier?

Is there a thread on forum that has a DYI for kick plates? I didn't see one.
:ninja3: NVM, found it

if u can install audio then ul have no trouble with the kickplates... man if i lived near u id help u for free haha 100+ bucks for installing is i guess ok but jus imagine u can save that money for another mod.... and the difficulty of this mod is not insane... its not like putting on a exhuast its completely doable... jus take ur time and ul be fine....

I got it on order from Ebay. I'll update the thread if I get in a bind and can't put my car back together!!! :P

I got 2 members nearby that I'll ask to help me. No help a few beers can't buy!

dont worry bud haha ull get it... its easy putting it together.... it harder taking it out cuz ur scared ur gonna break **** but putting it back there is much less stress involved lmao...

A friend and me installed mine this past weekend in about an hour, install is super easy. I figured I would need him to do wiring, but it is all pre-wired already and pretty much all you have to do pull the old out and plug the new in. Plus route the wires.

Another Q:

To all who have Illuminated kickplates....are they getting all scratched with normal use?

sup steve.... ummm mine are fine no scratches or wat so ever.... but i do however always not step on the door sill on purpose..... like i just step over the door sills all the time i get in.... and mostly everyone who rides with me does the same :D

i have no scratches, but i tend to swing over the door sills haha

and installation was a cakewalk. and mind you, i was hella buzzed when i did it :rofl2:

my car came with it from the dealer... thought it was kinda corny but my kids loved it so oh well. i prefer the non-lit brushed aluminum look but again, oh well. too lazy to replace it.

Here's some crappy pictures that may help you along:

Mine haven't been scratched that I've noticed.

Mine have not been scratched but they are never touched other than by the door opening/closing.
