Thanks
I bought the red/clear LED tail lights. The satin silver finish isnt up to par IMO, there are areas where you can see that they didnt spray enough paint.
Also the seams are not very clean.

If you look closely enough you can actually see the LED PCB boards.

All this probably wont be visible if you buy the smoked version though.

I guess not a huge deal, im probably nitpicking if anything....I was kinda expecting flaws from the start. In the end they are aftermarket.

I agree about the seams. Mine creak a bit too. Otherwise I'm really happy with them. Look awesome and are bright!

I want a long antenna.... I live out in the boonies and cookie cutter country music and right wing fundamentalist Christian talk radio don't entertain me....

I am wondering if the new "shark fin" one shown on another thread is any better than the long traditional one in terms of signal strength

Someone hit my driver door on xmas, while it was parked. (Too much Christmas cheer?) So I took it into the repair shop.

Sorry to hear about the hit and run. Is it caused by accidental door opening impact of the car next to you or someone use a heavy object to intentionally vandalize your car.

Hope it will not cost you too much to repair it

piaa h11 fog bulbs

Installed a shark fin antenna, side mirror LED blinkers, and dual-LED Depo tails. Now waiting for the sway bar to come in so I can get a lift bay in the post auto shop to install that, change the oil, and rotate the tires

I also have $200 I can blow, think I should get one of these?

I know the feeling about dumping money... After almost 50 months I am still at it... I think it will be $875 this month and $650 is for second hand X2 Coil overs...Maybe he might come down a little from that price, it would be nice.

Is the spot light actually on the outer roof of the car??? If not it seems that reflection from the windshield or having the top part of the windshield tinted would be a big problem.. The picture appear to be of the inside only.

I didn't know there are 2 horns on this car. One for the Steering Wheel Horning and another for the whimpy meep meep when you double press the lock button on the key. After realizing this, I ordered another Accord Horn and swapped it out. It's right behind the drivers side headlight. it was a hassle to replace without removing the headlight

The spot light is just the single big LED in the center.

Man I wish this wasn't so freakin expensive, plus the unfavorable currency conversion, but shipping is still cheaper than a plane ticket =\

Installed OEM Brake and Gas Pedals. Why don't they just already come on the car from factory!? Geez!

They come with black rivets to install but I don't have a rivet gun. So for now until I get one, I just used screws. ghetto but I know I'll take forever to get a rivet gun to install them

Made a cardboard template for a DIY hatch cover. Also, some accessories arrived today: console armrest, bumper appliqué, and visors. Lots of projects to do!

i considered those pedal covers at one point but now i don't think i want them. not really a fan of the gas cover metal cover and how it shows the black rubber border. would much rather have the pedal be metal itself like the s2000 pedals.

s2000 pedals:
