My 2010 EX is now a 2011 :D (at least from the outside)

I know it probably sounds stupid to get excited about something a lot of you guys started with (glossy black grilles), but when I saw that the 2011 EX came with fogs, glossy parts, and LED mirrors, I was kinda pi$$ed I didn't wait a few weeks for the 2011s....

Now that I've got my SX fogs and grilles, and my LED mirrors, I'm happy.

Check it out:





















And the complete product :D

Good job!!! ...now you need the '11 SX LED tail lights...(me too!)!

Did you buy the mirors complete or mod them to fit?
You're right, I definitely need the LED tails.. They're on my wish list!

I modded the mirrors... And you were also right about the mirror mod not being for the faint of heart... What a pain that was!!! Glad it's done now!

The LED tails are on my wish list too.:)

LoL! Once you start you get the "oh no, what have I done feeling"...but it feels good to finish them!:D

Couldn't agree more... Especially when you're working on the wiring at the very beginning and all the sudden none of your lights are working when you lock/unlock... And it takes you a day to figure out the you blew the hazard light fuse. THAT was frustrating!!!!

OUCH! I didn't have that electrical fun...LoL!
Looks great :)
Nice job
Did you change the entire mirror or you just change the covers like I did.
Forget it,just saw my answer in a previous post.
Lookin' good. I got all the parts now I just gotta do the work. Wish it would just stop raining for one day!
Does the 2011 base sedan also come with a glossy upper grille/trim instead of the flat, raw plastic 2010 grille ?
Now you need the 2011 SX rims ;). looks great bro
The 2011 SX rims are the same as 2010 in Canada.
Wowwewwwowww! Impressive sir! :D

Take...your...time. Do...one...side/mirror...at...a...time. LoL!

:D thank you!

...and what he said ^^... Especially with the mirrors. Honestly they took 10x as long as the grilles... grilles were a peice of cake compared to the mirrors!
Glossy Black vs the matte grey-black...
Thanks for the advice on the mirrors. I'll probably take my time on just one of them for one day and then work on the next another day.

It probably sounds silly for some people especially the SX owners, but having glossy black grilles and 2011 side mirrors is my second favorite mod! Right behind my Eibach's and Motegi's.
