Accord Fogs + TL-S Kit on 05???

OK so i want to get the TL-S Body Kit for my 05. I know about the modifications needed to install it. I want install Accord fogs now and wait for the kit later this year. My Question will I have to change the mounting point of the fogs when I install the kit? What do you guys think i should do, should I wait and install them together or just go ahead with the fogs?

you can't mount the TL-S front on the 05 bumper, and with fogs its even more impossible. The front grilles are larger on the type-S, requiring cutting on your bumper which will make it look horrible from the side. Also the grilles you have won't work, and the type-S ones won't fit. with all this said, if you put the fogs on now its just wasting your money if you want the Type-S kit.

your best bet is to get a type-S bumper with factory fogs and the a-spec kit.

I could have sworn I saw a few people here that had done this on the 04-06. I'm going to have to go thru stillhere's thread and do a double take.

I don't want to do the hole front end upgrade. I like having the smaller grill and I already have it color matched so don't want to do that again.
