Need some facts please?

TL peeps I need some facts please. I have an 04 TL and would like to add the following.

1. 07-08 front end with fog lights or can I just buy the fog lights and add them to my 04 bumper?

2. 07-08 LED mirrors. Do I need anything special or just to buy the mirrors and install them?

3. Anyone have any ideas where to look for black interior pieces, door sill trim pieces, console trim and especially black seats? Do type S seats fit in an 04? Are all TL model seats interchangeable for 04-08?

4. Wheel wise I am wanting to do an 18x9 or 18x10. Anyone had an issues with those sizes? Anyone suggest the perfect offset for an 18x9 or 18x10 for the perfect fitment to sit flush and right instead of sunken in at all?

Thanks to anyone providing assistance with my questions. I appreciate it my fellow TL owners.

1. Search "accord fog tl"
2. You can just buy the mirrors (can be costy) and wire them up (you'll probably need to buy some wiring stuff but those are dirt cheap)!

3. Best place is the Black Market forum or the junkyard. Type-S seats do fit in 04-08 TLs but the only problem you'll run into is the airbag module won't connect (uses a different connector).
4. I'm no stance expert. I jusat run stockies and A-Spec rims lol. Your best bet would be to ask in the "Tires, Wheels & Suspension" board.

1. You can buy the accord fogs and modify them and your lower grilles to fit them, or replace the front bumper completely to the 07-07 model year so you can get teh 07-08 lower fogs

2. you can buy the mirrors, requires a little bit of wiring, no too bad

3. the only thing i know id that the 04 has a different seat bolt style than every other year

4. I am running 19x9 all around with a 45 offset and they were pushed out to a good spot. I wouldnt know how it would look with an 18x9, but i am sure someone has it on this site.

You can buy 03-05 Honda accord fogs and modify your 04 bumper by cutting it up and fitting the accord fogs. Just about every 04-06 owner has gone this route. Buying a 07-08 bumper is going to cost you $500+

2. 07-08 LED mirrors. Do I need anything special or just to buy the mirrors and install them? You'll have to wire the turn signal wires. I never done this before so I can't really help you there.

3. Anyone have any ideas where to look for black interior pieces, door sill trim pieces, console trim and especially black seats? Do type S seats fit in an 04? Are all TL model seats interchangeable for 04-08? For illuminated door sills check this thread out. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/supercomputer-lighted-door-sills%3B-few-sets-left-donation-holiday-charity-drive-807308/. If you want to change the color of the console trim you can either A) Plastidip it or B) Vinyl it

4. Wheel wise I am wanting to do an 18x9 or 18x10. Anyone had an issues with those sizes? Anyone suggest the perfect offset for an 18x9 or 18x10 for the perfect fitment to sit flush and right instead of sunken in at all? Can't really answer this because i'm on stocks, but I believe a flush offset would be in the +20 - +25 range. Our stock wheel offset are +45

Thanks to anyone providing assistance with my questions. I appreciate it my fellow TL owners.
