I remember the JDM integra markers were like 30 bucks new
But the tails are cheap, $205 for a set? not bad, considering aftermarket tails sell for that much for some cars.

17 available in the auction during the sale if they were "on there way"

OR even better, where can I get like a Hanes book or something for the 04 TL?

The tail shipment he was supposed to get got cancelled from acura, and they are being shady in terms of ETA dates, but the people who did get in on the ebay link are going to get dibs if they dont request a refund, and Scott is refunding the shipping. He claims he will have more tails delivered on the 16th and the 22nd of this month.
But it seems they do have the mirrors and the side markers, just not the tails.
He is very nice to deal with btw, I would deff do business with them again. Super prompt replies via email too.

i hate to say it but i told you guys so. shady on eta for tails...HA tell me about it!! i got into an argument with one dealer over there hokey pokiness.. the dealer is an acura and hyundai dealer on the same freaking lot. i got so pissed i acted immaturely and told them maybe they ought to stick to just hyundai stuff because their service seemed only good enough to be on that level of cars. i also said maybe they should try not letting employeed that don't speak english good enough answer the phone with an acura greeting, just say hyundai or don't answer. haha they don't like me anymore... i know i'm a ass, but they deserved it.

bottom line, you run the pink w/ black stripe wire on both sides (mirrors) right to the front turn blinker bulb, you want to hook them to the middle wire of the 3 in the turn blinker: it's the same on both sides.no fuses or any thing special required since i've been told they are low draw leds.

Anyways, I just have one question, how did you wire the mirrors? Did you have to run wiring to the parking lights?
And the harness for the mirrors plugs right in, and takes care of all the other functions I assume.

Royce: you mention mods needed to get the mirrors on. We know they need to be wired into the turn signal circuit, but were there any mechanical mods needed ?
I am interested if the blind spots have been reduced because of the new width or is the lens the same ?

to be quite honest, i can't think of any color combo that wouldn't look good with these. it's just a nice subtle,modest ,yet perfect offset in color that goes with any paint color, it's not like we're choosin some wood grain paneling here on a car WITH the top half painted dirtypiss yellow and bottom half painted doodoo brown, hehe. just kidding. but seriously you should'nt even worry about looking good, cuz we ALL are looking good. -3G TL'ers, that is.

you are welcome, a-spec?-nope. well atleast i can say i didn't bend over at the dealer for their a-spec price...but i did piece all of it together except for the steering wheel. i lowered it with Tein SS w/o pillowballs and add a comptech sway bar. i'm not sure how much it's lowered but i believe i still have about 1.5 inches of lowering adjustment available.

Btw Royce, I actually got the tail lights installed myself the other day. All your tips in this thread really helped though.
For people wanting to know how to install them, feel free to post in here or send me a PM. I unfortunately did not take any pictures, but I could take pictures of what you need/should remove and walk you through it

What is the best way to remove the screws and clips from the rear bumper? I do not want to break any of the clips. I guess I am going to have to jack the car up to get at the screws in the wheel well unless anyone has a better suggestion.
