Newest Mod (Illuminated Sills)

After lusting after the sills from Harris, but not having the money to act on that impulse I decided to get the slap on ones to calm me for a bit. I still do hope to purchase the ones from Harris to have the stock look. If harris could somehow fabricate them in metal or carbon fiber I would rob a bank to get the money now.

But since I have what I have I thought I'd post these pics for people who wondered what the end result is.



Front
Front Stock

Front New In Light

Front New In Dark

Front Flushness
The installer messed this one up a bit. The inside sill on the other side is perfect, this one looks like the attached it a bit high. Anyone know how to unstick and restick 3M adhesive?


Back
Back Stock

Back New In Light

Back New In Dark

Back Flushness

Both
Both Doors Open in the Dark

Thats what I got, if you want to see something specific let me know and I'll try to capture it.

Thanks,
Bill

It's ok to live vicariously through me.

The cost breakdown was as follows:
Parts USD 150
Install (Quoted at "Around USD 100") USD 130

After the install the guy said "This was more work than we expected."

BTW, don't worry your wife won't read the forums.....you don't have to say you wouldn't change a thing .

Actually I had them installed at a local Benz Repair show (Former Benz Techs) The parts were not OEM MB they were from another website.

they are sweet though. you'll get alot of looks at night! they dont stand out at much during the day (mine dont at all) but at night or in darkness, they really show their colors.
