New 2nd Gen Owner

Hey everyone. I just picked up a Red 2013 Sport with 23k original miles for my wife. Has some minor scratches on the side and heavier parking lot scratches on the front lip. All but the mirrors are in great shape otherwise. My buddy from the Accord forums recommended you all, so here I am. My wife isn't into cars, so I will only do a couple of minor things (starting with the head unit). The mirrors were damaged when this was repo'd. Thought maybe I'd get lucky and find a pair here.

I will be doing a lot of lurking here to see what "minor things" I can do to the car.

Thank you for the welcome. jbyron, I really like the rims. They remind me of a set of OZs that I had on an old BMW. Mister Coffee, I don't think I will be posting anything that you guys haven't already seen. I did find this.... https://www.google.com/search?q=hond...client=gws-wiz

Exactly what I had in mind for a modern update. Wifey is not good with technology, but she's used to her Android phone. This SHOULD be an easy transition.

Mods... I hope I didn't violate any of your rules with the link. Please feel free to remove if I did. Just wanted to show what I had planned.

nice, I recently installed this android radio and it’s been great so far. Very modernizing - just installed a custom launcher and off you go. Works well with my iPhone and wireless CarPlay too.

An excellent choice you made. We bought our used 2013 Sport Auto 7-1/2 years ago with 55K Miles on the clock and at 131K Miles today, it's been excellent. This photo was taken when it was new to us. It's lived outside since, has taken some parking lot dents and the paint on the rear window spoiler has failed, but overall, we can't complain. It's too bad that we'll not be able to easily replace it when the time comes.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with failed rear spoiler paint. I decided to have the spoiler PPFed in gloss black for 100$ so it doesn't get worst...

I will have to look into that custom launcher. Thank you for the tip.

More of a Stumble Upon, but definitely happy either way.

Good ideas both on how to improve our rear spoiler's appearance. Thanks.

Oh man I can relate to that. Been looking for several months for a replacement for the 2011 Sport MT that was totaled. Not a lot available, particularly with reasonable miles.
