Here are some pics of my new 2005 Accord EX-V6. I bought it on the 15th. Got full wood trim (not the basic, but the extra wood), full leather, heated seats, speed controlled wipers.... anything you can think of. lol.


Just finished buying my amps today, should get them in a few days, and my components tomorrow. Dynamated the trunk last weekend. I have the front doors to do.

Eclipse CD8454 head unit
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).

I've got an '04 Accord LX 5-speed. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Good choice. :thumbsup:

The back end of the accord just SCREAMS for the spoiler (not lip). It fixes the dumpy look of the rear :)

Other than that :thumbsup: :D

Oh, so the lip turns your Honda into a BMW or MBenz now? Low profile spoiler looks nice on Ricers, lips look out of place. And WTF's up w/ that bug shield? It looks hideous.

from my understanding of mechanics, when an engine is mounted longitudally (sp?), the tranny is behind it meaning there is a driveshaft that runs to the back. How else would you get the tranny to drive the front wheels?

I wouldn't have paid a penny more than $24,500 out the door.

That's about CAD 13,400,560,780.00 :p

Great choice, what a nice ride :)
