I think just "Nissan" or "Altima" would be best. But I don't think either exist anyhow, not in an illuminated form anyways. I remember looking a long time back and coming up empty.
Yeah no ones really made them yet, at least not into production. Start Emailing companies! that's how this stuff gets done. Get someone to do a photoshop and send it to the company and tell them theres a demand, then maybe link them to our forums. theyre not gonna read your mind. I'll do it too!

Best first post ever! haha I'm half kidding, but thanks for not taking sides or anything. Seriously guys, the flaming has no place here and to the jerk up top, we're glad youre here but please be constructive. I think this is my fault partly too, I was the first to respond back, shoulda just kept on with the original topic. Bournealtimatum, sorry man. I just got ahead of myself and took it out on you too. I think we actually agree here I just misinterpreted you. So the flamings over, but seriously nightrain, keep it to yourself man. I was kinda hoping to leave the drama behind when I graduated high school.

Hey it's a sportsfan! like I said, I can't say. people with money like their privacy. If everybody knew who had what in what, it'd be pretty easy to know what to break into.

Dude! Get a Life.

Save your $$ for gas. At the rate things are going, you'll need it.

I had a 'post count' before the Internet existed. It's called 'Life'.

Personally, I am interested in the future possibilities of converting our motors to electric or Hydrogen.

mcheddadi... are you a chick?
I'd expect a more mature attitude from a person of your age and "life post count". Opinions are fine, but please don't insult our members. Everyone has their own interests in modifications to their vehicles. You I'm sure have your own.

Jeez you people are sensitive!

Get over yourselves!

If 'lighted kick plates' make your life complete, by all means go for it... I could really care less.

I'll be trading my A/C in for a GT-R soon anyway...

if you had the money for a GT-R you would of bought a 350z or G37 instead of the A/C, and maybe traded that in.

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.

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...

"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!~
