Gauging interest... Altima Coupe Illuminated Kick Plates

[GreyZone]

hey Robert...Ive sent three emails now...check your spam, folder...my email is [email protected]

[rjdmmfl1]

I have the following kickplates, would it be possible to make the "ALTIMA" and the 2 stripes on each side light up an amber(or what orange that is) color to match the instrument panel?

sorry, not offering that orange color right now.. I may not, ever, it all depends on how the first orders go. right now, a lot of folks have expressed interest, but not a lot of folks have ponied up the dough!

To do what you are asking, I will hve to use a different light vendor and their turn around time is not very fast. I would need money in advance to work with the dealer, but it could happen. BUt only if you are serious about this, and yes it will be $50 extra!

check your spam folders. Also did you get my reply email

I've got you covered.. [/quote]

Can you post how to remove them?

[rjdmmfl1]

Can you post how to remove them?

you just pull them up with your fingers.. start at one end, and slowly pull up.. once you get your fingers get under it a little bit, try to get your fingers under it as much as possible, and just pry em up

[windex]

not working as fast as you would like? next tuesday is earlier than i expected. i thought i'd be looking at more than a week from the time you received mine. i'm sure you know my story, i'm comfortable with waiting for quality mods. thanks for the update rob

[adidas2go]

hell yea you have to have the patience of a sniper after the turbo wait!

[08altima35]

yeah, it was a hell of a wait, but now that i have the car back i really don't even remember not having it. especially when i mash the gas pedal to the floor also, I'm deciding when i'll put her in the bodyshop to get the bodykit installed. i'm not willing to part ways and let the bodyshop have the car for a couple days just yet. prolly sometime late this month or early next month. which style kick plates did you order blake?

hey rob, i sent you an email with my return mailing address. i cant wait to get these man, you effin rock!

there's npthing "plain jane" about a part that only 10 other cars in the country have! The brushed aluminum makes for a VERY stoick look, the c arbon fiber looks VERY GOOD, but it also looks aftermarket... still very good though

[skilled44]

do you have any pics of the the nismo carbon fiber kick plates yet?

Haha not plain jane as in boring, I meant plain jane as compared to NISMO with blue and red lettering, or something of that nature

[spockrock]

first post mine are up and a set with blue lettering.

[Summer_In_Brooklyn]

Wow nice work, They look great. Anyway possible to have "Summer" light up? I would definatly be ready for a purchase.

[sonicbliss]

hey rob, i got my kickplates. these are pretty friggen sweet man, thanks!but i have a small issue. my drivers side plate works fine, but the one on the passenger side flickers. not off and on, just flickers like between normal brightness and dim. what can i do to remedy this?

when i get back home on sunday ill try to get pics up so you guys can see these. pretty sexy if i dont say so myself.

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

ok i want to order them but i got to wait until i get the money. I just got a new job and rims lol so it will be like a month. Will you still be able to do the nismo with carbon fiber?? How much do you think itll cost at that time???

I'm not sure... how are you testing them? You must use a 12 volt battery to test them , make sure the connections are strong... these things work via an all or none phenomenon, and I personally tested each plate before I sent them out... but if it continues, just send the kickplate back to me so that I can confirm that indeed it is not functioning to 100% specs, and I will fabricate a new one for you and mail it back to you free of charge!

[skilled44]

I was just wondering...I know you said something a couple posts back how you might not be doing these anymore and if you did you'd have to increase the price...I'm sure for such a cool mod that could be customized the usual customer wouldn't mind paying more...so with that in mind right off the top of your head what would you say the new price would be for these exclusive customizable kick plates...I wouldn't mind paying more at all as long as they're still available within the next month...hit me back

[AzureCoupe0888]

Doc,

I can barely contain myself I am so excited about these kickplates man, I dont see how anyone wouldnt want these. I guess mine should be comin in like sometime in the next week or two, no rush man.

I know a few people have said it already, but I dont think I have. I really appriciate you doin this for us man I always wanted kickplates like this, but god knows I cant do anything with cars so i guess that make u my hero!

Thanks man

You must use a 12 volt battery to test them

Are we supposed to test them before we get them installed?? lol I have a feeling that was a dumb question

[Summer_In_Brooklyn]

Hey Doc, im really interested in purchasing these. I would LOVE to have Summer on it, I doubt i would pass on them if i had to get either "altima or nissan" on it, but please find out if somehow, someway Summer can be put on it. Thanks!!!

I just got my coupe last friday and joined the forum yesterday after a few days of just coming on here and reading. You guys are a great help and I hope to also contribute here as well. Im a Union Electrician and will gladly do my best to help with anything electrical if i can.

[rjdmmfl1]

GUys and gals... as mentioned, in the Official thread, I am no longer selling these at the moment... if you guys are seriously interested (which itr appears a few of you are) then please start a new thread titled Gauging Interest Illuminated Kickplates, Round 2... only if I get serious commitments from folks will I offer these again! I am just now fabricating the last few from the previous round of orders

Both sides did the the same for me the passenger side has stopped and driver side has gotten better then only thing I can think is the transformer needs to break in.

This thread is long and I might have just missed this...but I couldn't find the answer.

I want some...I just got my coupe, and the aluminum kicks they promised me didn't actually come on the car.. but I bought it anyway.

Do I need to buy aluminum kicks for you to modify, or can you hook me up with the kicks and the illumination all together?

[sonicbliss]

ya about that, i didnt test them, lol. just figured it was plug and play. at any rate, ive had some time to take a look at these and i think i found the cause. first off, the drivers side has begun to flicker faintly. meaning that its the same brightness as usual, but if you watch very closely, you can detect a slight flicker at times, but only sometimes. the passenger side, on the other hand, is almost always flickering. and i believe the cause may be that the top of the plate, the plexi portion, has begun to separate. at one point, one of my friends leaned down and applied a small amount of pressure to the portion (leading edge) of the plate that has started to separate, and the flickering stopped momentarily. so i think that the separation may be causing it.

now i see no need to send these back to you, especially at a cost to you seeing as how you've already done so much for us. i believe that with a little information from you i can fix these myself. how exactly does the glow tape work? does the whole pressure=no flashing make any sense to you? it looks like its separated right above where the power leads come into the kick plate. thanks for any advice or input.

He currently isn't taking orders, but when he was you could either supply your kickplates or just add another $70 and he would supply them.
