Rice or Nice? Lighted Door Sills... You be the judge

Scroll down a little over half a page to the "Mustang Lighted Door Sills" and take a look. Make sure to scroll your mouse over the last pic of the item to see them at night...

I'm not sure if I like them or not, or if they would be considered "too much."

What do you guys think? (Please try to disregard that site in general, it has A LOT of ricey crap on it, if you guys can find a better place for these, please tell me.)

I have billet dress up items in my car and have been looking for some door sill plates. These are unique, but i like to keep my car looking classy and flashy, but not too overdone, if you know what i mean.

interesting, i'd have to see it lighted first. how is it powered?

SaleenGT2001 · Jun 5, 2006

it looks ok. not too overdone IMO. you would have to trigger them from your dome light.

GT02MG · Jun 5, 2006

Def rice in my book sorry man.....I like my steeda door sill plates though:

mity2 · Jun 5, 2006

I think they would look preety cool!

The S600 Brabus cars have BRABUS in blue like that, theirs looks classy, I'd have to see that kit in person, but I think it is a nice touch on a non ricer car.

thomas91169 · Jun 6, 2006

do it, and connect them with your dome light/interior lights. thatll be pretty badass IMO.

i want i want i want!!!!!!!!

BigChiefSmokem · Jun 6, 2006

Yeah, from what the description says, they attach to the "door wire," so i'm assuming they light up when the door opens.

DerekStangGT: Roll your mouse over the last picture of them on the site and it shows how they look at night.

BLK_ROUSH · Jun 6, 2006

Would have to see it in person.
Reserved judgement until then.

04DarkShadowGT · Jun 6, 2006

Chances are if it comes from mrbodykit.com its rice j/k

But imo that is pretty ricey.

DocG · Jun 6, 2006

I don't think its ricey....its more 70's party van'ish to me....or limo....or movie-theater-watch-your-step'ish.

Tough call whether or not I would call it "Rice" definatley a bit too much for me though. I prefer sill plates like
GT02MG has, but its all personal preference.

timeless2 · Jun 6, 2006

Not rice. It is in the actual make/model font & lettering.

Now, would I buy it? No. I wouldn't pay $180 for something only viewed when the doors are open. It's like having a flashlight turned on inside of a closed shoebox -- illumination with no need.

It could do well for a car that is only for show. It would be rice if it were to be accompanied by various other accessories found on that site.

02GTdroptop · Jun 6, 2006

It's one of those little touches that other people will notice when they get into the car, and I think for that, $180 is a fine price. Plus it's something totally different.

If I could wire well enough I'd get a set!

deftsound · Jun 6, 2006

i dont think it looks bad, i almost said it was rice until i actually looked at it

id put them in my car which is saying something becuase i generally think anything neon is rice

durknutz01GT · Jun 6, 2006

I've been wrestling with the same decision. I found them about a month ago on there but am afraid of what they'll look like actually in the car. Timeless has a point when he says $180 for something only visible when the doors are open. I'll probably hold off and put that $180 toward the labor for my 4.10 that were on the Fedex truck 15miles from my house at 8:30 this morning .

Post some pics if you end up installing them!

You have basically summed up the reason I have done every little thing to my car. Littlle things like that add up to make some pretty sweet changes.

I think the general consensus here is that its border line ricey, but maybe if done in the right settings (on my car), it will dress things up a bit...

The only thing i wish though, is that the actual cut out on the sill plate was the letters, instead of a large block cut out for neon part. That would look much better.

i duno, I kinda like them! I bet they would look pretty cool at night, but during the day they would probably be overlooked
