New Almost Owner
I signed the paperwork today for a 2010 AT Sport, which is supposed to show up at the dealership in a week or so.
Anyway, thanks everyone for saving me a lot of money already. This is where I got the info for buying all the accessories online. The dealer wouldn't match Bernardi, so I'm getting all the accessories mailed to me. Saved me quite a bit.

It'll look like every other one when I get it, because I'm going to be putting all the accessories on myself.
I just hope I can get the side molding on straight. I'm also a bit apprehensive about drilling a bunch of holes in my new car, but I realize the dealership would be drilling the same holes, and probably not as carefully as I will.

Cargo Cover
Full Nose Mask
Center Armrest
Remote Starter
Door Sill Trim
Door Visors
Body Side Molding
Door Edge Film
Rear Bumper Applique
All-Season Floor Mats
Cargo Tray
Basically all the stuff that protects the finish of the car. The holes need to be drilled for the center armrest.
Also, I'm going to be buying some wheel locks. I can't seem to figure out exactly what I need. Apparently, Honda uses some sort of weird lug nut that nobody makes. Are these close enough?

If these both work, I'll just buy both, that way I have two kinds of locks.

Here it is after all the accessorizing.. still has the red backing from the side molding on the ground

Since I had to install everything myself....
1) Read the instructions completely before beginning, and read a few steps ahead at least when doing each step. I put the rear bumper applique on crooked because of this. It's imperceptible to everyone but me, but when you do this stuff yourself, you'll remember everything you messed up.
2) The thing that is most worth having done professionally is the remote starter. Although, the only two problems I had were removing the visor and the plugs on the back of the fuse box. I've seen another question about removing the visor on here, and I plan to make a video showing how to remove it. As for the fuse box plugs, there is just a tab on the back you need to press in. But, I couldn't see it from the front. Just press the tab in with your finger and the plug comes right out

3) Everything else is pretty much foolproof. If they're charging you any more than you can get the parts for off the internet, it's not worth it. Other than the remote starter, I was able to do everything in a couple hours.
4) As for the wheel locks, the dealer put the factory locks on anyway and didn't charge me. I got the Gorilla System locks (16 lugs) so I figure that having the factory lock and three Gorilla locks on each wheel should be sufficient.
5) For installing the accessories, you really need the blue masking tape from a hardware store, also I got a nice dispenser of big alcohol wipes at CVS. They work a lot better than the crappy wipes that come with the parts.

I dunno if they would look good with the mugen kit, I got them because I was worried about having someone ram a shopping cart into the side of my door.

I think maybe this aftermarket molding would look better.
My user name is a long story, most of which I've forgotten, but it was given to me by this guy:
