Wow, after reading this thread again I realize I was totally wrong when I posted those pictures up for this thread with the Fit as the example.

I guess this really isn't a DIY job...

I probably am in no position to say this, but regardless of what nightrain said, I think what needs to be said afterwards has already been said, let this drop and just let the mod's do their thing if they see it.

Increase the peace!

I think we need to forget the drama and get the thread back on topic. It's only fair to the op who asked a perfectly legitimate question.

Awesome!! I had a feeling (hoping) you'd be doing something since you're really into interior mods Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Im just imagining a few strips of that running along the panel... with a plexiglass cutout ontop.... laying the colored vinyl insideout on the plexiglass.... nice install!

Cant wait to see... whose "we" doc? as in this is what "we" are doing...

haven't finalized the details yet, but when I do, I'll let you know what we decide.

"we" is me and my custom install guy. We are working on this together.

If it looks nice, I may start to offer them on ebay and to you guys on the forum. We'll see how folks like them, but I imagine that folks are unanimously gonna like them... how can you NOT like illuminated kick plates???????

What folks may not like is the finish... and that's something that we are working on. Right now my plan is to do vinyl over plexiglass , but I may want something that will last a little better overtime... in any case, as always, I'll have pics up of the progress...

wow lotta hostility! looks like i have to repost a favorite post i wrote some time back w/ some addtions of course!.....so here ya go!

your all DORKS...im selling my stupid coupe... getting the hyundai genesis....and will blow the doors off all you...debaged, fake sticker havin', LED'd, HID'd, wanna be Fast and Furious, "oh my grill is ugly" whinning...."how do i roll up my window?" asking.... "what's the best wheel ?"cryin'..."oh i hurt my knee" complainin'.... "my 2.5 rocks!" boastin'....."im gonna change my coupe to a RWD" dreamin....."lets get a group buy on NISMO tire valve caps!" wishin'...A**SES

-your coupe wont beat a Z or G....-your coupe is not a race car...-spoilers wont make it fast..-endlinks and sway bars wont give it a medal in the slalom-all the exhuast does it make teeny boopers go "ooooo" as you "fly by" at 35mph in a school zone..then have the ballz to ask "why'd i get a ticket?"-if ya want your car lower....have some of your fat friends squeeze their jello laden bodies in the back as you jam to New Kids on the Block on your sound system that cost MORE than the CAR...-YOUR STUPID LIGHTED TRIM KICK PLATES WONT MAKE IT AN INFINITI!-and for the last time...20+ chromes look like absoult SH*T on the car...don't ask..cause if you have to ask...and you can't for yourself see it looks absoultly hidious..then please dont gross the rest of us out by posting ur stupid cell phone pic and asking for any validation...you aint getting it...

if ya wanted a G..all the dumb stupid mods your making plus the cost of the silly castrated, toy of wanna be luxury "sport" car....would have added up to one already!

Your "COUPE" is a god damn, christ forsaken, moses stinkin', allah freakin', jehova smellin', war mongerin', tree huggin', toilet stainin', sink cloggin', gay, straight, bi, druggy, goody two shoes... 2 door freaking ALTIMA!!It's glorified family car aimed at spoiled brats whose daddy's won't buy em porsches, soccer moms with age complexes and older guys whose mid life crisis' have come early but dont have the $$ for a REAL midlife crisis sport car! ... So deal with it!

-you were all newbies at one point.-you are all geeks, dorks, bweebs to someone.-your post count dont mean jack, cause in the end....you dont mean jack!-mcheddadi is not your personal photoshop tool...the man has a skill that gets upwards of 75 to 100 an hour in the real world...respect that.-dont bother rjdmmfl1 with..."um what fuse do i need to run my 20$ clarion radio"....hes another skilled technician who earned and learned a skill.

so go sit in that overdone, overpraised, under powered, under made, wannabe rice a roni wind up match box "car" you have.....push button the thing on....run two glass radiator tubes from your after market "wish it could increase the horse power" exhaust to your too dark tinted windows....and have a nice nap listening to your depche mode on your 10000000000 watt aftermarket radio....

don't worry we'll find you..afterall you do have 6000k hids in your lows and your fogs...and LIGHTED TOE PLATES....

and finally....the only way peace is realized is through frackin' war so kiss my

AHHHH...now that's getting off the wrong side of the bed!~

You do know that 03-04 maybe the 05's have only +10HP and weigh an extra 200-300LBS over the A/C right?? Unless you would like to defy the laws of physics you should be beating or matching early G coupes. That is if you are talking about a straight line.

Spockrock, grystrm's entire rant was a mock of the kinds of comments we get on here from time to time... I thought it was pretty clever actually...

regarding the g's, I think youtube clips have shown that CVT 3.5 A/C's beat 03-06 G35's from a stand still... don't know about MT A/C's vs 03-06 MT G35's though, my guess is the A/C would win those also.

Remember that the 03-06 power ratings were done under the non standard ratings... so they may, or may not have really had 275 horses... but regardless, those extra 5 horses aren't enough to overcome the superior CVT vs auto trans and the 200lb less curb weight of the A/C vs G35... but in the end, its all NISSAN!!! We should be arguing over destroying Honda Civc Si's and Honda Accords anyway!

grystrm that was awesome!!!!!

To stick with the post, I would like to have lighted kickplates. IMO they would be nice, not obnoxious like fluorescent lights glowing from underneath the car.
