If anyone wants me to take any exact measurements of different parts of the 07 grille let me know. I'm pretty good with a tape measure, and not 1/2 bad with a bowstaff.

My definition of "fit" does not include anything that has to do with modifying, so that's why I was saying that it wouldn't fit.
I would love to see this work, though, so if someone can fit (keeping my definition of "fit" in mind) an '07 chrome wing on an '06 grill, I'll be a very happy guy.

This is the place that I am concerned with - will the TLS wing and the TL wing have the same end - right where these circles are. Not so concerned about attaching to the grill as I already know I have to cut that in half.

Now....even though you set the chrome piece up against the bumper, it has been said by other professionals that the piece will not fit. Did you actually try to fit it on there?
Thanks for the pics.

^ I see. That's a perfect picture right there. Does it rest evenly on the bumper like the original 2006 piece?

Rondog says the fitment is a no-go... not sure whose word you're going to take, but at least now we have multiple input.

Yeah I've been watching that thread too - since I am going to be using the 07 TLS grill - modified to fit I'm not 100% sold yet that the wing won't fit.
This is the area I am mostly concerned with.........
In looking at the pics of the two wings here I can see the TLS one is a bit larger so I'm not quite sure yet if what I'd like to do will work.
I'll know more when I get it all pulled apart.......or get to the dealer to compare them both side by side.......
Hybrid - since you have both can you tell if the 07TLS wing will fit on the 06 in the red circle area in the above pic? This is the area that I think will give me an issue since the end of the 07TLS wing might be bigger..........I'm not worried about the fitment to the grill since I know I have to modify that a bit to fit.

Forgive my really bad PS skills ------ but see the piece with the aqua line on it? Is this a seperate trim piece from the actual grill?
I think it is and if that's the case the TLS wing would need to fit where the red arrows are..........not worried about the grill cuz that is behind this piece in aqua....
Sorry - trying my best to explain but it ain't easy....lol

It really is NOT very difficult to do the fog loight install like I did. The toughest part for me was modding the switch.
The factory VSA switch is angled to fit the contour of the dash. The Honda fog light switch that comes with the kit is not contoured. If you are OK with that, then you can even just use the switch as it comes.

So, did you modify your TL grill in order to get the accord fogs in?

yes the 2007 TL bumper fits on the 04-06! but! you will have to buy the bumper cover, new gril, emblem bar, and lower moulding. they are larger in 2007. i am currently doing the conversion right now. jsut waiiting for the bumper cover to come. it really isnt too expensive. but i have a shop so i get dealer cost . i am also in toronto canada..
bumper is $239 list cdn. and the full grill assembly costed $200 cdn. not including the fog grils.. thats next on the order list. i will be sure to pust pics up. all my stuff is from the 07 type S so the main grill will be black chrome!

I would like to know what exactly the bumper cover and lower molding are, could u please post some picts??
Btw, was the installation easy or hard?? i wanna do the same thing, i got the type-s grille and it didnt fit so i was pissed because the dealer told me it would
I'm planning on doing the installation myself but i would like to hear an advice before doing it.. thanks in advanced

Here is a pic of a 07-08 nose conversion on my 2005. Took me a whole weekend to do, but I did all the work myself including the paint. I had to let the parts sit for awhile before I could handle, and also did the rear and some other work too.
