    Illuminated Door Sils.........

    Well I think this is one of the best options (for the price). Instant 'wow' factor, looks quite nice in the dark, and of course it reminds you which car you have (in case you forgot, lol )

    It looks pretty good to be fair. I thought about the extra didn't go for it in the end. Can these be retro fitted?

    I Like them, they look great!

    I was thinking of putting they on my Cayenne. I'm not sure about the Carrera, but I was told they could easily be retrofitted on the Cayenne.

    Yes these can be retrofitted. One of the dealers quoted me in the 700's (US$) for these. This does not include labor. I don't think they recommend this to be a DIY installation as the sill has to be wired somehow to a power source.

    Re: Illuminated Door Sils.........

    Purchased some today from Brandywine $500....Sunset imports was a few $$ cheaper $492 (but a week away)....In terms of install, I just can't justify having the dealer install them at a shop rate of $145/hr....It would have made this bit of fun not worth it.....There is a TSB on how to install them. It's not as easy as you'd think, door trim removal, inner sill removal etc....tapping the wire harness is pretty straight forward. Not rocket science, but not a no brainer either....I'm also going to cover the sills in clear bra as stainless steel is a scratch magnet!

    My car is having a little makeover at the moment...PSE install next week (dealer install), Illuminated sills and then a full paint detail...and then I am staying off these forums, it's costing me a fortune!!!!

    lol, I hear you. I heavily optioned the car with all the frills because of the many positive recomentations for non-performance enhancing upgrades (PSE, Sils, NAV, BOSE, TPMS, 666, Full NAtural leather (ouch ), etc, etc, but at the end, I love every option I have).

    Re: Illuminated Door Sils.........

    I stopped by the dealer today to ask if we can switch the standard sills to the lighted ones. I hope the order can be changed.

    Man they look nice!

    One problem with this forum.... It vacuums money out of your wallet faster than you can say Orek!

    If that is indeed possible, then surely that would kill your resale value?!

    If they could be easily removed, with no damage left to the car, then I wouldn't see why it would

    I think the illuminated door sills are Exclusive options. Which is why you won't find them on the Configurator.

    Re: Illuminated Door Sils.........

    They are dealer installed and the part #'s are:

    997.044.800.55 CF Carrera
    997.044.800.56 CF Carrera S
    997.044.800.67 CF Carrera 4
    997.044.800.69 CF Carrera 4S

    I don't have the stainless steel part #'s on hand at the moment. Should be in the 2006 Tequipment Brochure.

    The option code is CXB and the MRSP is 780 (at least here in the US).
