Good paint job on the mirrors!
Car is looking classy.

Question though, the accord fogs don't seem to bright---aside from aesthetics... do the fogs help at all in visibility?

I wonder how would those mirrors look on our cars in polished silver? If the car was KBP or NBP.
Kinda like the S4 and RS4's.

The fogs are bright, maybe is the angle of the picture, in my case they do help some as far as visibility.

Hmn, I see. Everytime I see accord fogs I get the urge to go and buy them! Looks great.
I'm assuming the pics don't so bright cause the sun is still out in the pics.
I just had to ask cause I didn't notice a difference [on the road] when my cousin turns on his fogs on his corrola XRS [all stock bulbs].
Thanks for answering my question! I'll probably pick some up... not sure if I should go OEM or eBay--or attempt to retro some other fogs in there.

Nice, 07-08 mirrors on an AM! I've been wanting to this too. It's great to see pics of this mod.

Your car is very bad ass, and clean as hell. AM type S clone FTW!

How did the switch fit? It looks like it's not flat as the VSA switch.
For the price difference, I might lean over to eBay fogs.. but I hear they aren't good to use HIDs with.

I had to use a different switch, the ebay one didn't work for me, I'm still looking for an OEM switch, as far as using Hid's you can't with the ebay ones like you said.

The mirrors were the nail in the coffin. Have Scott work his magic on the front grille trims.

Thank you guys.

Thanks man that will be my next project.

Thanks buddy I'm taking a trip to my local dealer soon.

are those type-s mirrors hard to install with blinker setup ???
They are not to difficult, it's only one more wire from ours and once you have both of the mirrors on hand (old & new) is so easy to tell.

Are the pics taken around Tysons corner?
I took the pictures somewhere else, about 15min from Tysons.

omg sweet! Any pictures at night =]
I'll try to get some night pictures, Thanks bro.

Wow, Your car looks sweet! What is your suspension set up??
Thanks, I'm dropped on Swift springs = to 1.5 all around

Is it the same part number for Type S and regular 07-08 side mirrors??
I think they are the same part number, the Azine member I got the front said they're TL-S mirrors.
