Default tC Lighted Door Sills *VOTE ON DESIGN!* Interested???

Buddy told me there will be two designs to pick from...

1. Similar to our own OEM Enchanced tC Door Sills but mimicing a lil like the Z350's lighted door sills with lighted tC and lighted "holes" and it's going to be EL Lighted.
2. Same design as the Celica Door Sills

HOW TO VOTE: Just on the most recent list next to your screenname add the number 1 or 2 on the end of the line.
Example: 1. CatalepsicFox - tC - red - 1

FOR NEW PEOPLE JUST ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST AND DO THE SAME.
What the is special about these door sills is that they will light up (EL) when the door is open. These Door Sills will overlay (stick on) to our regular black stock door sills (meaning it will be seating on our regular door sills). We will have a choice from blue or red color lighting.

Other ideas will include filling each lil hole that you see on the enchancement door sil's design with LEDs.

Also we should vote on what it should say:
"Scion tC"
"tC"
"Scion"
or suggestions?

Here are some pictures...


These are from the Mazda3 as you can see. Just giving ya ideas on how it might look like. a need a require amount of people interested so he will start to develop and manufacture this.

Updated Pictures for the Celica




So interested? Cost? The cost of these door sills will be around or under $78 which is cheaper than the tC's Door Sill Enchancement. If he is going have it manufactured,

Update (1/24/06): Dont expect too much new infomation.

You guys asked for it and here it is.

What material will it be made out of?
More likely aluminum.... If not stainless steel.

What color?
From just by looking at the list blue will be made for productions. The only way to have an option of two color is to have 200 people on the list.
Why?
If the second color is going to be made, he has to start a new productions line for another color for the EL "Plate".

What's the design or how will it look?
We will only have one choice on how it will look since it will be made from one mold only. So Scion tC is winning in the poll currently, but I would like to mention instead of that, maybe we could have it look almost like the tC Enchanced stock version of the door sill. Or maybe if you want to suggest you pay present a photochopped or drawing of how do you want the door sills to look like.

That's all the new information I have for now.
Any other questions?

PS: Some reason I have a feeling people are just creating SL accounts to fill in the numbers, which I hope isn't happening.

Can you post a pic of the current products the manufacturer makes and a pic of what this product will look like, possibly on another vehicle?

Be Cautious- if this individual/business is not a sponsor, as we ALWAYS want to support our sponsors and if these are to be sold... well, we all know the deal.

Yea I can get some pictures from a Celica and maybe a Mazda 3.

As for being sponsor.... I think one sponsor here will be helping him sell, since the "sponsor" is a distributor of this guy.

The wiring could be connected to the dome light therefore only lighitng up when you open your door. This info is not official but I'll have to talk to the head guy to see how it going to work out.
