Could you get some even closer pictures of a finished set, like detail pictures of the edges, the arch that go over the OEM trim, the letters both from top and side and so on. Are the colors made as part of the production, or painted on after its finished?
It would help those of us that have ocd issues make a decision xD

Colors are added during production before the carbon goes down. They are under a layer of resin/clear.

Awesome! Thank you!

...just in the nick of time too!

We're gonna be closing down the Group Buy Monday. Thank you to EVERYONE for your support.

We already have these door sills in production and are pushing to have them in hand by SevenStock!

Ok guys!

We're officially calling an END to the Group Buy.

Thanks for everyone's support here and on social media - we hit some pretty strong numbers - especially for a first run of products.

The response has also been great enough to push this specific project wider (FC3S & MR2 Carbon Fiber Door Sills are in development) and get us rolling on a few other FD3S projects (stay tuned).

Our initial ETA was somewhere between Halloween and Thanksgiving - which will remain our ETA. BUT, we are really, really pushing to have these in hands in time for SevenStock.



We will keep you posted.

Looking forward to seeing what else is coming down the pipe. The 7 market is definitely in need of some broadening of options right now.

Agreed.

We have a couple other carbon fiber projects in development, so stay tuned for those.
We also have a few titanium projects which just started rolling, we'll see how those land.
We're reviving a couple long since discontinued products, that people seem to still have some love for.
We have a few NEW products people have been asking for, hopefully everyone still wants them.
And the last part of the puzzle is trying to put some new JDM/OEM parts on the shelf, so people don't have to eat shipping every time they want something from overseas.

Soooo, we're busy. But everything takes time. It's a delicate balance of time, money and what the market can support.

Juggling a couple threads and forgot to update this one... so I'm copy/pasting from another thread I posted this AM...


OK! We are pushing to have these in SOME cars by SevenStock - so we gave the manufacturer the green light to ship what was available. It's not the COMPLETE Group Buy, but it's about half (mostly Red and Exposed Carbon).

Carbon Door Sills (Traditional carbon-weave/honeycomb/forged)-sx5uhiz.jpg

Once these touch down, we will box em up and get them off to their destinations. Keep an eye on your e-mail box for tracking info!

If you don't get tracking, don't worry! You will be on the next shipment and should still have them in the time frame of the original ETA (Halloween to Thanksgiving).

You and about 25 others should have tracking by now!

Carbon Door Sills (Traditional carbon-weave/honeycomb/forged)-jflwqra.jpg

Most of what was shipped was Honeycomb/Red and the Exposed / No Logo variations as those were quickest to produce.

The second batch should be en route to us shortly and if you didn't get a tracing number THIS round - you will the next.

There was ONE SNAFU however. NONE of the sills were pre-drilled. The manufacturer just didn't do it. Anyone that requested pre-drilled got a little bonus in their box - but its our sincere apologies it didn't happen.

ALSO, attached are the OEM install instructions (who knew they'd come in handy?) in case anyone wanted them.
