Do you have any pics of the trunk dynamatted? I did Dyn. Xtreme on the front doors, it definitely seemed to help.


No sorry. But I put three layers on the trunk lid, and the spoiler and tail lights still vibrate. So you might want to do something for the vibration of those before you block the holes and can't access them anymore.

Also you'll notice when you take the liner out of the trunk on the drivers side, theres a black vent thing with a flap on it. Its an air vent and i have no idea what it does. Anyways I removed it completely because it was making the most noise, and I put dynamat on the outside and inside of the whole. I had to unscrew that side of the bumper for that.

tighten the trunk latch, or put a small stip on the latch itself so that when the trunk shuts it has a much tighter grip. it should help.

Tried that. Didn't change anything. Its really like the screws on the spoiler and the lights are to lose or something.

Aparently the 7gen accords are known for there many vibrations. :thumbsdown:

If you only knew. www.v6p.net <--- good resource for 7th gen Accords. Headliner is a common one (don't have that yet) - I am having a rattling from one of the right passenger windows, too lazy to try to figure it out.

Nice car. Personally I'd go Civic and save some cash. I like Accords, but I hate the look for the front on the new ones. With the Honda H it looks like a chipmunk.

teh nasties, shoulda gotta ford

lol, Ford's got nothing that can compete with the Accord. My parents had one once, and it fell apart before it was 8 years old. They previously had a 15 year old Accord that still worked fine but they sold it.

Now my sister and I both have 92 Accords and aside from some common $100 issue with the starter motor, we've only had to pay for oil changes.

But enough with stories, go look it up. Honda and Toyota rape...RAPE ford in build quality.

Wow, the wood just looks... out of place, and there's way too much of it.

Personally, I hate wood trim in any car, even upscale ones.

Your picture doesn't work, but I think a little wood looks good on some cars. Jags, Astons, etc. Nothing from Japan or American though, sorry.

JL Audio 300/4 Amp
JL Audio 500/1 Amp
Aidre Koda6.1 components up front
Infinity Kappa 653.1 rear speakers
two Adire Shiva 12" subs

Also putting in a compustar 2WSS-AS remote starter/alarm with a 1.25mile range. (Just need to find the time to install it).

That car looks like the inside of a yatch. That said, I hate the gauges, the steering wheel, the shifter... Everything about it, pretty much. It looks ridiculous. :thumbsdown: I mean, it's seriously planked with wood.

Is that aftermarket? All of the Honda wood accessories I've seen have nover looked anything like that, even from their press photos of the optional faux-wood trim. Look liek your dealer is using aftermarket as an accessory.


No that wood is OEM. Its an add on OEM kit though. Dealer offered it to me the way it is.

hahahha... your dealer bought that sh!t off of ebay and double-side-taped it to your generator. what arseholes

wow....we have a new troll on ATOT
