Well, I started on my project attempting to convert the original door sills into illuminated ones. I have been taking pictures as I progress. I have run across a snag though on the metal crossfire I was going to dremmel. Its made of stainless steel which is almost impossible to dremmel. I am in the process of cutting my own metal piece and tracing my word pattern and cutting it out that way. Be very easy to do! Can get materials at Lowes and inexpensive. I might be using the new SRT 6 Logo or the word Supercharged in the green light for me, but whoever follows my directions can illuminate whatever they want! You would have one of a kind door sills! The original plate removal off the base and putting in the luminesent tape was a snap! I was supprised how easy that was! Id say the whole project wont cost over 50 bucks for all of it! So almost finished guys, Ill keep you posted and snapping pictures for yall!

Great to see you on here Ed!!!

mikenewb,

Might I suggest the following for your sills. 1/16 or 1/32 clear or tinted acrylic from Tap plastics the same size as your Stainless Steel plates. Then you simply mask off your logo and spray a nice silver or colored paint on and remove the masking. Viola! instant logo without cutting anything but masking tape!

Good Luck!
