Well you won't see them for a little bit. The place doesn't have the license to produce the trademarks. Don't think too many people have these yet. I? can't wait to order mine.

Hmmm.... confusing they have a licence to put trademarks on there emblems but not on lighted door sills? I see where it says " No trademarks are available at this time for text entry, such as "CAMARO", "SS", or "Firebird"; ask if you are unsure."
Whats the deal?

I've been waiting to see something like this I wouldn't have to fabricate myself for a while now. I'd definitely buy if I could get "Trans Am" on it, possibly without the side graphics with the lettering scaled up to fill most of the plate.

I know i've been waiting on something like this since I got the car, just couldn't find them. I emailed 6LE about doing these and he told me that emblem pros makes them. I have always had a good experience with /roger at emblem pros, so I know he quality will be good. Not sure why you would need a different license to put the emblems on the door sill, im sure there is some legal crap behind it. All I know is he said he has been waiting for some time and expects this any day now.

Good morning,

Parts for GM are licensed "individually" for logos. There is no such thing as "if you are licensed you can throw logos on everything you want to".
About two times year we submit a new batch parts for GM approval, to place the logos on.
Along with that goes advance royalties for projected sales of one year, and it gets added to your yearly guaranteed minimums.
So these have been submitted, and I have talked with them on the phone and through email about these sills. They will be approved.
As far as the Trans Am version goes we can make those if anyone is interested.

Getting a GM license does not give you rights to logo everything you see.
I know there are others who do that, but when they get caught the penalties are high. Each part has it own approval, and gets specifically added to your contract.

Thanks, Roger

Thats how they make their money. The more parts you get licensed more money they get.
We have never had a part turned down that we have submitted. You do have to do some hoop jumping and negotiating. But that's the way it is.
We can to Trans Am sills though "like today" if you want. We can also do these not lit, for a better price, they look pretty cool.

Agreed. I doubt that's trademarked, also. Then again, you never know

Yes we can do the honeycomb pattern.
I never thought of it, but I am going to add that one to our stock patterns.
It is available.
