We will also be making these "not lit" for decorative purposes.

As well as etching the ones we already sell.

So three different models will be made.

Okay, here is the new and improved sill in action - please keep in mind that this is not the final cosmetic design. We have improved the guts of the sill to make production faster and more efficient. We have a new, one-panel design coming out that looks more sleek. But just to show you guys we're serious and not jerking you around, here it is:

Also, what you are looking at is a piece using a matte silver lite up panel. We will be offering this in several different colors, so nice options will be available, but I believe black looks the best.

We have been really busy with record numbers of orders this year, and we are trying to do some R&D on new parts, so please bear with us. These will also be coming out in an F-Body version soon. We won't forget you guys

Okay, we had an actual production sill that we somehow managed to scratch after it was built, so we decided to do some tests with it to show you guys the results.

Many people get water accumulation in the door sill area after heavy rains or a nice car wash. So, we decided to demonstrate the water resistance of this product.

I don't ever forsee a problem due to water

Can you do a custom sill with my own logo in it?

Absolutely we can.

I just need the logo as a vector file, or I can convert it.
Please let me know.

Thanks, Roger

This is my idea...having the logo on both sides with the Italia name in the middle. My current sill is cobalt, can you match that color to?

These are LED lights that you use, is that correct?

Thanks

The lights we use are not LED's. Those fail way too often for us to want to use.
The logo you sent is a copyrighted image, and we can't do that unless we get permission first.
Are there any others you like?

That image was used on my car when the mod was done long ago...the front of my car has that logo already on it. See the attached pic...I want to keep the same images as this was the design around my car...

Seriously... what would it take to get slp to approve production of something like this. Pontiac isnt even in business anymore. Firehawks are dead. I live in Jersey if you need me to run down to Toms River with anything to pitch to them i would be more than happy to. :-) perhaps product sample? These things are gorgeous.

We have asked about 4 times. A couple of maybes, and some other answers that we received all comes out to No.
I think it is unreasonable, and unfair to the owners of the cars, but it is not my call.

Thanks, Roger

We have done this a number of times in the past with Henessey, and some other companies, usually if you ask, they are ok with it.

We have came up with a solution for the Firehawk guys on these,
We can make you a sill with all the lighting in the color you want.
You guys can buy a vinyl sheet with Firehawk cut out, and lay it over our sill plate the light up as "Firehawk".
A lot of decal guys do make this logo, so it should not be hard to find someone to do it, and I can supply you with the dimensions you need to fill our sill area.
Please let me know.

Thanks, Roger
