Nice. I think cleared or blackout headlights would look good with the rest of your mods.

i think he meant the accenting line across the entire side doesn't line up with the quarter panel. still looks nice though. do you have closer pics of the fog lights?

thanks guys.... the story behind the line matching up is retarded it has to do with me removing the door panel breaking something n being too lazy to fix it and moving the hinge up a lil in order for the door to lock... i dont care really because i dont let anyone sit in the back anyway... ron those are 18", tires are Pirelli Pzero 235/40 18 the grip is wicked. the fogs are 03 accord lights and thanks to everyone here on the forum they came out very nice. red.... mine is a real aspec as well lol the ride quality is slightly different because u feel things a lil more but the control u gain is priceless. the tires dont have rim edge guards that some have but it seems like pirelli made it so perfect that it lines up to the edge of the rim and it sits on the tire if ur ripping turns. Ill take better pics in detail...when i get to FL after new years and the car is detailed.

Your title and headings are kinda confusing but not really. Just unique.

However, I do like the new rims.

actually i have 6 sets of rims lol the originals really suck i just kept getting them from junkyards or fixrim.com and they kept bending or cracking. the type s rims actually are from acura i got them for a great deal, i wouldnt leave the service dept til the guy settled for 800 then i threw him 100 for lunch. Im getting her detailed tonight and im taking pics in my shop b4 it gets ugly out. so def expect better high res pics soon. oh and i got the replacement headlights in the mail too so im gonna drop those in the oven and once thats done and they r apart to the body shop to get the inside painted the same color as the car along with my box and sides in the trunk....i did all of that in fiberglass.

Side Mirrors and Fog Lights

Hi Tripnbeats,

New to AZ and would like to change my side mirrors on my 04TL base SSM to the ones you currently have. Curious where you had it done and how much?? Do you like the workmanship??

Didn't the 05 have the fog lights as one piece with the headlights? After installing the 07 fog lights do you now have 2 sets of working fog lights?? Where did you have these done and how much?? Do you like the workmanship??

Sorry for babling!

Thanks for the help!

I did all the work at my shop the fog lights have separate switches from the electrical system I dont like mixing the stock system with new components.... every light works in the car and the mirrors I ordered for 365 delivered and installed them myself and 04wdpsedan's as well.

If I were in the market to get this done, how much would all this cost me? BTW where is your shop located??

Is the memory setting and turn signal ok with the new mirrors? Do you have to have a whole new front bumper (like 07) for the fog lights?

nope adapted the 03 accord 4 door lights in it. i dont plan on staying with it too long i may go with either the type s set up or ronjon front n side kit. everything works with the new mirrors no problems. The mirrors youd have to order and the install is 100 the shop is in woodside.

How much after parts ($$$.$$) and labor ($100.00)? Is there a way I can see the fog light setup up close before deciding it? Can you give me the shop address?

thx.

I received the 2 messages. Thank you. I will definitely look you up when I decide. Problem is I park the car in the city everyday and thinking about this in the long run (damages and everything). It is something I want to do in the future.

Thx again George
