Hi guys, I'm in the UK and may be able to answer a few of the questions on this thread. Unfortunately, I haven't been a member long enough to be able to post pics otherwise I'd show you how it is in my '09 model.

Our Accord has a small button adjacent to the mirror controls which, when pressed, causes both mirrors to fold in. Pressing it again moves them back out. This only works when the ignition is on so it's a bit of a pain if you remeber you didn't fold them after taking the keys out!

The glass in the passenger side mirror lowers to show the kerb when reverse is selected. This is very useful for parking against kerbs. To select this function, the mirror adjustor switch has to be left in the passenger's position.

The front lip is indeed one piece. It has a very, very small profile across the middle section of the car so it looks like it's in two parts.

Hope this helps.

Wished we have that feature here in NA. I drove through some tight spots where I have to manually fold the mirrors in and of course in tight parking situation.

FYI, whatarussh has kindly provided the installation PDF for the Euro front lip. I have hosted it here.

^^ Thanks whatarussh and MrOtocinclus for the info. (http://207.204.18.3/tsx/eurolip.pdf)

Looks pretty simple, especially when you can get them paintmatched already. Now if we can get the shipping cost down to a more reasonable level.

Pedal sets are still for 5AT only, right?

TIA

Thjat's right although I think I can put a 6MT kit together pretty easily. The only difference is going to be the brake and clutch pedals which I am assuming as the same as the 04-08. If someone want to swing by for my to check it out I'd be happy to install for free. Cost of parts only.

I have those 5AT pedal set on my car, how come Acura doesn't have them as genuine accessories :S ?

We also have the modulo grille here i'm fairely sure (if we're thinking about the same modulo grille), because we have the modulo kit here as well as the front lip, speaker trim, which is just a ring i guess and sport pedal set and other stuff like leather steering wheel, leather gear knob for AT and 2 different gear knobs for MT

I was just reading the accessories booklet today while i was waiting for my car at service

I would love the folding mirrors if they are an easy retrofit!

I think it means pricing is going up.

Yea I don't think I can hold on as it is. Our pricing was set at about 90-95 yen to 1 usd and now it is at 86 and falling. Means that my USD buy less parts. Couple that with increasing shipping costs and you have a big problem for JDM parts supply.

But we are still working on getting parts in and trying to avoid raising costs to you guys.
