Illuminated sills completed along with the Logo pattern projector.

Copper wheels in, install with new tires soon!

The copper wheels will look hot against the white paint. I think it looks great on both white and gray cars.

And wow, 65 Corvette and 65 Mustang Fastback. Damn.

How do the sills compare to the door projectors in daylight and evening?

I've wanted to add the door sills, but they seem way off in color (skewed blue) compared to the projectors (which aren't really very crisp). I'm worried at night they'd just be a bright blinding white and overshadow the projectors.

Thanks, I kept seeing a lot of pics of the copper wheels against the white, really couldn’t get away from the look.

I’m a huge Corvette fan, but I’ve always loved the look of the C2. Mustang has been in the family since the 70s, had to fix her up, but they are both very fun.

From what I see, the sills and the projector are definitely off in color, projector has a bit more yellow to it, the sills are more of a pure white color. My camera adds a lot to the brightness, they aren’t as bright as it seems, it’s a good brightness IMO, they are just bright enough. During the day, you don’t see either, if they even come on.

Yes, yes it does!

Very cool to have it in the family since then! Gone in 60 seconds made "Eleanor" (67 fastback) more popular than ever. I love all of the 60s Mustangs... they're timeless.

Nice. You're fixing what everyone who reviews the ITS complains about. No charging ports/vents in rear seats. Not to mention the piano black on center console that scratches so easily.

A lot of these gripes I share, but most are minor for me. Kudos on changing that for your ride!

It’s a new to me car, that piano black was already scratched and was bugging me. The vents are for passengers and it actually does help the car cool off a bit faster, I came from a car with ventilated seats, anything I can do to cool the car! I really miss that feature,

I'm almost tempted to do front/side cameras and auto rotate side mirrors in after parking. All of that might take a bit of work, so I'm debating it.

Yeah that doesn’t sound easy. I did get the Mugen Hydrophilic Mirrors, waiting for those from Blackhawk, hoping that wide angle helps a bit more!

The cameras are not difficult to mount and route cabling, but deciding how to show those feeds inside the cabin is a frustrating choice. Probably a separate screen somewhere. Would be awesome to incorporate that into the infotainment screen, but don't really feel like rooting the system and voiding warranties. I haven't even researched to see if anyone has done anything like that for the Honda/Acura infotainment system. I might leave that for something after the original warranty has expired.

The folding mirrors might be easier, as perhaps a Civic folding mirror kit would work pretty well. There are many things shared between the Civic, Civic Type R, and the Acura Integra.

For night driving, that sounds really good. Need to research options.
