A lot of modifications haha. I'm the one who did it, and its kind of a pain in the ass. First, you have to drill new holes in the door frame. Second, you have to trim down the TL mirrors to line up with the Accord's door frame. To be honost, its not a flush fit, but I took it upon myself to try it out.

This is why I will just do the Hybrid Mirrors..Plug and play baby!

It's not as simple for coupe owners. Their base is different, so there isn't any plug and play set up that anyone knows of yet.

well, there are super small differences between the RL and TL mirrors.. hopefully that makes it alot easier

update: the mirrors came in the mail today, and i measured the distances between the RL mounting screws and the Accord screws.. no plug n play :( i have an idea though if someone can make me a custom bracket it might work..
