Great job on the grill and mirrors. I finished my LED signal mirror covers and they just came back from paint last Friday.
I will post up some pics late Sunday.
How did you get wiring into the doors? I came from the rear blinkers and I had to drill a hole in each kick panel for the wiring.
Other than that, it was really simple.

I will post next week.. sorry i've been really busy lately.. actually ill just send you the link for the pic so i dont have to post it. .but giev me a couple days..

the reason why i am changing them is i dont like how they look.. they WORK reallly well.. they just dont flow right. but the JDM is slimmer / flows better (evenly)

They dont fall out / sticks on between glass and lining..

PM me about the grill

Do they tend to fall out or something? Also does it just install between window and lining or is it stick on?

Also the car looks sick! PM me how much would u charge if i get the grill odne by you... im a bit tight on money but maybe down the road.

Thanks in advance!

just wondering..since the mirrors are heated, shouldnt there be a wiring hole in the "sail" shaped trim going into the inside of the doors? Because the mirrors would most definitely have to be powered and heated..

And if I were to do this, i may ask a shop to do it and wire it to the stalk or steering column wires if possible for a much cleaner install do not have to breach firewall, since you guys mention theres no hidden side blinker wires.

Mirrors/Emblemless girlle....!

Not feeling the mirrors, too much bling for a coupe....But, the grille is sooooo
cool. After you guys have started this trend with the grilles you won't be able to find a used grille on the planet....Ouch! Good job....

The service manual mentioned that the BCM, Body Control Module, sends out the signals for the blinkers. Let me know if you need a link.
The BCM is mounted in the center console and should be easy to get to. The challenge is getting that signal up to the mirrors. That is why I had to drill a small hole in the kick panels from the dash area to the doors. I guess if you came from the front blinkers, you might be able to sneak wires without drilling. I found the flexible wiring harness near the door hinges to be moulded and not friendly to running two additional cables. I just ran the signal and ground behind the rubber cover near the door hinges.

Great job...like everybody said...the grille is great.

I love the idea of the mirrors, but for some reason they just don't flow right to me. The lights look like just stick out too much. I wonder why they didn't make them flow like the normal mirrow with the light built in smooth to the mirror.
