That rear lip is really nice 8-)

Nice that you've colour coded the fog surrounds too.

About the mirrors... can you not just swap the connector for one that will fit and then bore off the extra wiring?

I suspect there's more in it, but if you wanted to run in the wires for heated mirrors I have the appropriate door switches available.

Wow, really nice. I have the same rear lip in my garage and I was planning to do the same. And now that I saw yours, the motivation to do it is even bigger!

Heated mirrors and folding mirrors use the same connections and wiring but you cannot have both heated and folded.
PITA...thanks Honda. You would think standard electric mirrors would share the same connects bar one wire.

What are you trying to do with the mirrors?

Swap the whole units or just the painted panels?
