Thanks. The wipers are Honda Crosstour wipers. They are aero type, similar to Bosch and the rest. Difference being, they fit much better since they aren't universal.

I can't believe I'm asking this but where did you get those pedals?

Fairly straightforward installation or does it require some kind of drilling?

Pedals are from Ultimate Pedals. Some drilling is required but quite easy since the gas and dead pedals are both plastic (the dead pedal actually pops out for easier installation). The brake pedal already has the holes (under the rubber pad), they just need to be widened. A lot easier than I may have made it sound.

Update: LED mods

I replaced my factory Vanity mirror, trunk and license plate incandescent bulbs with LEDs from V-Leds. Brighter than I expected. Particularly the vanity lights. The light can be harsh. Will Take some getting used to. The trunk light on the, on the other hand, is great!

Not for certain, but I would think so? Acura claims that the refresh did not change any sheet metal.

Hi, do you have that part numbers or LED types of those LEDs?

Thanks and you're doing great on your mods.

Thanks. Modding slowly but surely. I think the only thing left for me to do is wheels.

These are LEDs that I used.

Vanity mirrors:

License Plate:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...-p7114849.html

Trunk Light:
http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/D...61206-1-2.html

Keep in mind, these aren't the only choices available. I went with 5K bulbs to stay with the "white" look as opposed to the "bluish" look.

Very pleased with my bulb choices. License plate bulbs are 5000k and are very white. 6000k bulbs would lean more towards a blue light. I bought my bulbs from www.v-LEDs.com. Nit sure what bulb sizes the RL takes, maybe the same as TL. Check out the website.

I think you want to stick with 4000k - 5000k bulbs for "white" light. Anything higher than 5000k starts to become blue. FYI - White vanity mirror lights can be a harsh light when using the mirror.

The pedals (I assume you meant pedals) are from Ultimate Pedals (www.ultimatepedals.com). They are custom cut and are available for MT's. The wipers are actually 2011 Honda Crosstour wipers.

Firm but not harsh. You will feel the road irregularities, but again, never harshly (IMO).Minimal lean or body roll. On smooth roads, smooth and quiet, quite luxurious. Great compromise between ride and handling (again IMO).
