These go on the C-pillar ... that's if you wanna do a true JDM conversion ... the side markers (for turn signals) also complete the look.

Post some pics when you get them on.... also, does anyone find it ironic that the JDM Inspire has "Honda of America" on it? They don't build the Inspires here in Ohio, do they?

ALL Acura TL's/Honda Inspire's are built in Ohio.

i have two sets JUST like that one and then i have another set that has the same exact eagle but the badge is a little more square. the square one came off a 1995 accord wagon and the one of the other ones also came off an accord wagon. maybe the square one is from Hong Kong?

i don't think so, hong kong get acura dealers, but is right hand drive, the last time i was at their showroom got rsx and tl-s at the showroom, they got folding mirrors, 4 speed trans and no memory seats just like the inspire, the engine value plate is in honda logo while the exterior is all acura, but is legal for a private party to transhipped cars straight from japan to hong kong, so you can see right hand drive integra type-r and inspire/saber too at used car dealers too

The HK version is Acura 3.2TL which is the same as north America's one.
The only differences are they have chrome shift plate and rear mud guard as a standard option.

Also if you see some INSPIREs in HK, they are all imported from Japan by some Japanese car dealers. You may see 25V(UA4), 32V(UA4/5) and type-s(UA5) one in HK, but the Japanese car dealers stopped to import INSPIRE TYPE-S since the Acura dealer got them to HK as TL-S.

Those are nice to have, makes your TL/Inspire more unique.

That's true, I came back from Hong Kong 2 weeks ago and I visited a HK Honda dealership. They didn't have any TLs in the showroom (only the Asian market only Odyssey and other Honda vehicles, TSX and the old RL), but the Acuras that we know were definitely Acura badged. But I did see a few TLs on the road in HK, and they were all Acuras.
