List of Mods: Nothing yet. As of this post I've had the car for about a day.
Future Plans: Nothing major. Billet grill for the front intake so my AC condenser doesn't get murdered. New Accord horn perhaps. Maybe next year some new rims. Tinting.
About me: This is my first new vehicle, so I plan on treating it like a new born baby. Anyways, I work in engineering (new subdivisions, new buildings, etc) for the phone company here in the west...I am pretty sure you can figure that one out. I am a transplanted BC boy and plan on moving back there in the future, but so far my 5 years in Calgary have been great.

the easiest way is usually to use an image hosting website like photobucket to upload your pics to.
The you just copy paste the IMG extension that appears as a link right under the pic into your post here and the pics will show up.

- XCarlink MP3 player
- Progress RSB
- T1R FSB
- T1R Short Shifter
- 30% Tint all around
- OEM fog lights and ricohet film (ie XPEL)
- Installed black aluminum mesh to protect the radiator and AC Condensor

Yeah like the color, and LX is the way to go 
since the sport doesn't have performance upgrades.
SP has a few upgrades - chuckle - his is way nicer than mine (dibs on the dead pedal and JDM pass side visor if you've got one)
The GE's come with dead pedal's.

Thanks CPat!
Yea, was debating the sport but the UGs were just too few for it to be worth while... even a sunroof or, like you said, performance UGs would have done it...
But the rims; okay not bad, but the LX has rims too... USB plug; mmmm, I usually am on the radio any way... Exhaust tip; WOWEE, what a deal
... fog lights; don't use them... and 6 spekers instead of four; I get wanting 4 speakers insted of 2, more uniform sound, but I can't tell the difference between 4 and 6...
So, all in all, it was an easy decision!
As for the issues with louder engine noise; I don't really notice it but I guess it's the reason why in a stick shift the engine sounds like it needs to be shifted to the next gear before it actually does...
My solution: I just use the shifting intervals of a six-speed. I end up at 5th earlier but it's not as loud in 5th and I don't use it all that often...
My last vehicle was a Ridgeline, so it is definitely a different noise level than that, but I paid for that privilege... and more... at $700 per month, lol!
My only other hard decision is weather to get the 3M or not for the front... the company I know who will do it for me also does the paint protection at the same time and throws it in no-charge, but the 3M is like $650 to get done... and that's at a good rate!
What model/year do you have CPat?
