You know the tab that adjusts the left and right mirror? You need to put the tab in the middle of it in order to make it tilt down. Hope this helps.

Thanks Jenna!! hehe! Oh yeah? Do you have pics of both cars? hehe. I'll miss my Accord....no accident...just giving it up.... It's okay tho....i'll consider this a veeeeery veeerrry big christmas present and a huge upgrade...in other words... "spoiled" :p

Oh yeah, i couldn't help but notice the ww body kit coming soon. Have you got word that Wings West is already making one for the 2002 TL?? If you do...send me a pic....i gotta see it! Hope you fix the mirror...I think it has to do with a mechinism failure.

I will get some pictures soon....I spoke with Wings West a few weeks ago and they said the kit for the 2002 should be complete by the end of the winter! I had the Zenon kit on the accord. I don't think the factory kits are 'agressive' enough. I almost paid the 1700.00 to the dealership to have the factory kit put on the Acura but luckily I talked myself out of it.

I will post some pictures in the next few days....I just had to put the factory rims back on due to the snow...and it is in desperate need of a wash!

By the way...if you go on to the wings west site...look under the body kits for Acura TL and you can see some pictures of the 2001 with the type W kit on it....looks so much like my Honda.

Good luck with your up coming purchase.....I hope you don't sell your Honda to someone that lives close by you....that would bum me out to see someone driving my 'custom' Honda....especially if they didn't take care of it!!

I'll be in touch...

Jenna

Hey Jenna....wow..Wings West sure works fast! I didn't even know they even started. I have already seen the kit for the 99-01 TL's..but I dont' really like the sideskirts..it's very very weird..IMO. I hope they make it AT LEAST a bit different from it. Try to get me pics ASAP...cause I might get the OEM kit..but if the WW kit looks better...i'll save money. I will call WW tomorrow to see how the kit looks.

Thanks, I can't wait to get the car. Actually...my friend wants to buy my car again...he's coming back tomorrow. So I might sell it to him.that means I'll be seeing my Accord every now and then. I'm sure he'll take care of my first baby.

Thanks..

My mirror sticks occaisionally... it won't move down (or up at other times) unless I first move it up. Real wierd but it does still work, try moving it in all directions.

My mirrors work well in all directions, they even fold in too
