I was sooo excited about the price you had before.....

THTL

iTrader: (2)

do you guys know if the RL mirror will fit the TL.

psheu

they share similar shape but on the trim part that connect the windows and mirror is different.... and it'll cost more to modify them than to get the entire assembly.... my unit came in a bit later than expected.... according to the shipping log, it should arrive tomorrow..... if not, Tim, you'll be expecting my call I can't wait to get them and slap them on

JoeyASPEC

Someone broke my right mirror 2 nights ago... so I guess I'll be ordering mine soon!

psheu

Well, fellas..... here is the pix of the part that just arrived today:

I'm gonna have it installed tomorrow.... I'll keep everyone posted For sure these mirrors are bigger than the 04-06 TL.... and the color matched perfectly with the 05, you can't tell a difference at all....

THTL

iTrader: (2)

lucky. they don't have my color. Are you doing the install yourself, can u take some pictures.

psheu

Um... do you have 05 or 06? I have an 05.... for some strange reason, my color matched without any problem.... my sights might be off or they send me a color that matched the year... but for sure I'll take some pix and keep everyone updated

Aznpersuasion

i like the 200 range lol

psheu

The price that Tim gave us is the best deal I've seen online so far...
http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no
and if you want it in the 200 range, you might have to wait for a not so banged up one for piece somewhere online ~$100 or less and have it re-painted ($30 - $60)... and just get one brand new one from Tim... if you're only buying one Tim just divide the price he quoted by 2 which is new around $160ish painted. and you'll be in the 200 range

It is a good price... Just too rich for my blood. I'll buy used.

It's more principal that anything to me.
Much like the Type-S spoiler tripling in price in one year... These have gone up 30-40% in price in one year. When the 2007 was released, these mirrors were selling for $280.

There's no justifying that increase in my mind (although I'm sure HMC has a great logisitc reason to explain it)...

psheu

I agree with you Kennedy... I got lucky and got one banged up 07 passenger side mirror that need to be repainted for a great deal... and I only have to buy one side from Tim... I thought I could install them today but the body shop told me the paint is still wet... so I guess I'll have to have them installed tomorrow... I think I'll let the dealer install them for me... the total i've spend including parts, paint, wiring, and installation so far is around $280

THTL

iTrader: (2)

there is one on ebay right now.

psheu

Great find THTL... Saw it... but it's blue... who knows... keep your eyes on it and you might just bag a good deal... if you take it to a decent body shop, they might be able to paint it for you to a color of your liking for ~$50... I already got one from Tim so maybe someone else can jump on this

THTL

iTrader: (2)

damn, i found two of them but they're both left side.

psheu

2!!! I only saw 1 the one listed is not for the TL it was for the RL... the RL one for sure won't fit... the other one is a set offered by Acura of Peoria... with the price they're offering, better off buying the set from Tim... w/ fast cheap shipping... remember, watch closely and don't run up the price good luck

THTL

iTrader: (2)

the group buy price from TIM is for both right.

SSM-TL

Tim, can you provide the link to this item?

psheu

worst case scenario.... call him

psheu

Well fellas, here is the pics of the mirrors installed... I decided to let the dealer install them (~$100 paint, install, run wires)... They ran the wires and installed them clean without having to drill holes and the paint came out perfectly... the color on the one that I got from Tim came out okey so no need to paint that one... and the mirrors are bigger than the old one... took some time to get use to (but it covers more area now)... the tilt function and blinkers all worked perfectly... anyway, enough talk... here is the real deal...









now my car looked like this from the side:


And I got them to install the chrom trim piece on top of the license plate also... some cutting is required for that piece (from 3 screws to 4 screws)

Kennedy

iTrader: (2)

Close ups of the rear trim please... Would like to see how well they got it to fit. Mine didn't come out to my liking.

THTL

iTrader: (2)

Niceeee. $100 for paint and install, that is a really price. Where is it.
thanks.

psheu

I got it done at the acura dealership.... they really hook me up.... and it comes with warrenty like the rest of the car.... all I can say is, get to know your service advisor well and make friends with them it'll go a looooong way.... people skill my friend, people skill

psheu

Well, here are the pix you requested Kennedy They did a great job on mine... I stood there watching him install the piece... cut, sand, etc.... it took him <5min.... he also used some double sided tape... the job was quick, clean, fits perfectly...

Kennedy

iTrader: (2)

I know your thread is baout mirrors... Sorry.

Where did he cut? The trim piece itself? The license plate mount?

could you describe it a bit, mine want to bulge out a bit, yours look great...

psheu

That's okey... our threads are about information .... Anyway, he cut the 2 screw mount... sand it flat... and used 4 double sided tape in the location he marked where there are 4 plastic contact point from the licence plate holder.... he did not use one big strip of double sided tape... he used 4 separate pieces... so if you're converting from 05-06 you'll have one extra screw left over after the installation.... oh... and remeber to clean the contact point

Tripnbeats

that chrome piece sux I did the install on mine but I had to mod it so it fits the original has 3 places for screws the type s has 4 i shaved them down and super duper glued it down in the middle and filled the holes with epoxy and screwed the side mount down.

Tripnbeats

PSHEU did u upgrade the front grill to the type s or its original 07 non chrome??

ARX-01b

iTrader: (1)

How many more sets are needed? I'll take a set of NBP's

psheu

The entire front is the Type S w/ chrome trims... so basically the only difference (appearance wise) is the head light... everything is the same

THTL

iTrader: (2)

psheu, can you tell me how they hooked up the wire.
thanks

psheu

Well... He hook up the wires through the fuse box of our car like the 07 TLs... I know he took out the glove box and center console to run the wires to the fuse box on the passenger side... and on the driver side it's closer to the fuse box so it's easier... it was professionally done to the way the 07 have it short of having to buy the entire harness... he is the best electrical guy at that dealership and he will never settle for a half ass job... I'm really glad with the turn out... he also run the wires through the rubber line that connect all the wires in the door harness to the main body of the car so no drilling was done... of course there are easier way to make the blinker work... some people run the line to the front blinkers and just splice the line... those leds require so little juice it won't matter... it took him a good 2 hours on the job just on those 4 wires... I didn't know he was gonna be that thorough... but who am I to complain about a good job, right ... the mounting is easy... inside door panels out, 3 screws loose and the entire mirror just mount on...

on the side note, I'm still trying to get use to how the new mirrors are much bigger than our old ones...

THTL

iTrader: (2)

does the heater function works. I am about to pay for the left side( $70.00 used). Now i need the right side.

psheu

Yep... they worked just like the entire door is from the 07... good luck if you do get it, let me know how it come out and don't be stingy on them pictures also
