Please post day and night pics of your Illuminated Kickplates...

[l33th41]

if you mean the stuff on the bottom, don't remove that... it's all there for a reason! and its not glue, it's silicone

Glue crazy just sounded better than silicone crazy at the time There were actually a few dabs on the plexi itself that looked like mini hershey kisses lol. They were easy to get off though.

[maxentropy]

Is that to keep it water proof? I was wondering how they'd hold up in the rain.

Also, I was wondering for those that installed it if you HAVE to take the door off or is it possible to do it without taking it off? I have small hands so I was wondering if I'd be able to do a little maneuvering...

Yes the silicone is for waterproofing as well as an adhesive to keep the plexiglass on the baseplate. Take off the door as mentioned in the instructions. It's not that difficult after you do it once. Small hands will not help you with the install, besides once you get the door off...

Good luck! Got mine installed with no problems.

Yeah, the excess silicone comes right off if you rub hard enough.

I actually removed all of the glue and silicone from mine but I do not advise it. Rob will void any 'warranty' for these if you do so. I replaced the clear silicone with black silicone and instead of going around the edges as it came, I filled the outer crack that encircles the plastic base plate with black silicone, ensuring there were no holes where water could get in from the bottom. I then leveled that off, and attached the plexiglass back down to the plastic base plate. Anyway, my kickplates are finished and installed, look freaking amazing and pictures will be up next week. My new wheels are sitting in my garage and my new tires come today, so those will get installed next week and then I'll take pics of the kickplates and wheels.

Stay tuned! Thanks again to Rob (Dr. Feelgood) for the AMAZING kickplates!

hmmmm black silicon, that might look better on my CF ones instead of the clear. Don't get me wrong, they still look great.

is it silicon caulking?

Quick Question, ...... Just wondering if it's legal to make a profit on selling item's that have other companies names on the ( Altima, Nisan??? ) Or did you just put the plexi glass and light behind it?

Great job on the Lighted Kick plates By the way.

I don't know ... I gather that if I created a company and went global, it would be a problem... I don't nissan would male a fuss over my 20 kickplates

[Giddy]

That's what I figured. just wasn't sure. I would hope Nissan wouldn't be that big of an ***, over that small item.

Ontario mills??? you've gotta be joking Daniel.. when I agreed to do the install, I agreed to meet you halfway... sorry, I'm not a baller like the guy with the $110K G35, so gas prices are kicking me in the nuts... that's $40 worth of gas my friend

Ok, I was reading the detailed instructions provided and was wondering am I taking the whole door off or just the paneling? Sorry for all the questions but I want to know what to expect and to plan for it.

Take off the entire door (paneling only of course). In the instructions there is a link for taking off your door paneling to a thread in this forum. I just woke up and can barely see the screen at the moment so I'm sure search or someone else can link you to it (like I said, it's a link inside Rob's instructions too I think). If you have any detailed questions, just holler.

I installed mine and it was a super clean install when you do it right. No visibile wires, flickering, or any rattling etc when listening to music at high volumes. Just make sure all the pieces and screws go back in tight and in the right order.

Here they are in all their glory

Day shot

Night shot

and this one just for fun. New plate bracket, I had one of these for years but it broke a little after I bought the coupe. My forum name is from the frame not the other way around.

Lol. It was worth a shot.

I was hoping you might be in the area. Anyways... next week, when are you available? I can do it Thursday any time, Saturday after 1:30, and Sunday any time wherever halfways is. Let me know when you can.

[LongBeachCoupe]

[hangtime23]

[BlackNWhite]

So Rob installed these for me today in the morning. I haven't gotten the full effect of them as it isn't dark yet.

I parked in a parking garage today though and when I opened my door...

These things are SEEEEEXXXXXXY.

[hangtime23]

Just got my kickplates installed, big thanks to spockrock for helping me with the install!!! I don't think I coulda done it by myself, I wouldn't have had the stomach to take the door off and fight through all that wiring. So once again, thanks spockrock!

They really do look amazing, I went to my cousin's place after getting them installed, and altho I didn't mention anything to them about the kickplates, they were immediately like "whoa...what's with all this fancy stuff" when they saw them. It's too bad for those of you who missed out, hopefully doc will be willing to make another batch soon.

Right now I only have cameraphone pics, I'll try to post them soon, probably by tomorrow. And I'll try to get my friend to take some night DSLR pics that will hopefully do these things justice.

[hangtime23]

k...here are a couple of pics of the kickplates installed:

Hopefully I'll get some nice DSLR pics soon...

[quick_shift]

I just installed the passenger side one, looks awesome. I want them each to be hooked up to their own courtesy light, but when I was out earlier I forgot to pick up more t-taps so I gotta run out now and get some.

I'll post some pics later tonight hopefully.

[quick_shift]

replaced the clear silicon with black silicon

[BlackNWhite]

Sorry, no day pics. These are at night with flash on and flash off.

[Stryker617]

Ok, so this is gonna sound weird. I got the kick plates from a guy selling them on here. Happened to find the guy selling them, and lived in Panama City. I was going down there 2 days later for vacation. Picked them up the day I got there. Great guy, and nice car. So, been waiting to install them, and my buddy told me NOT to remove the door panel. Instead we spent 2 days figuring out the whole wiring in the car. Turns out you can do it on the passenger side without taking the door off. Just take out the glove compartment. A total of 5 screws.

Has anyone not installed them yet? I got pics of the install. Still gotta do the drivers side, and will post pics of that side once it's done. But this install looks good for the most part.

The pics are getting upload now. I will post them when they are done.
