99% of the time the units not in the car. I really only use it when Im going somewhere for the first time. Most of the time its in a stotage bag under the seat. I don't want to hard wire it in because I use it in the Pilot as well. Is nice taking it from car to truck when you need to.

Sirius Roof Antenna and Sunglass Holder Install .....

The TSX rims were in perfect condition with new MXV Michelins and they sold ASAP. A guy I work with bought them cheap and put them on his wifes CL-S. They were nice but not even in the same league as these Racing Harts. When the car is parked or rolling it gets stares like you would not belive. The car did not have that WOW!! factor with the TSX wheels - it does now.

Something doesnt look too right about the rims or are they a tad bit too small or something?

Your cars drop is perfect...slammed is impractical

I do have to say the walnut/burlwood wood grain is much better than the grayish/marble looking "wood grain".

to me it looks that way 'cause of a combination of a fat lip, busy spokes (mesh), not fullballs slammed, and 235-40 tires

215-40's and dumped to hell the wheels would look bigger.

nonetheless, those c2's are always a classic..and 10x better than the tsx rollers

Hey III, I was looking at your sweet ride in the photo gallery and was wondering where you got those 18" arthur exchange gold painted rims? I would have PM'ed you but don't have enough posts. Do you know the model?

The antenna on the car is off of a 2006 Accord EX-V6. The antenna is made for XM radio but can be converted by gutting it. The cost of the antenna is about $55 and the special mounting nut is about $5.00 (make sure you use it). It did not cost me anything to get it painted but Im sure a local bodyshop could paint one for around $50. The only thing you will be using is the base, cover and gasket.

Its rather simple to convert. Remove the screws and take the cover off. The next step is to use side cutters to cut all the XM wiring off the base. Using a hand held grinder grind the top of the base smooth and enlarge the wiring hole (so the Sirius antenna plug fits through it). Mount the Sirius antenna on the base using 3m two sided tape. Drop the rear of the headliner. Find the center of the roof and drill a hole roughly 2in up from the rear window. VERY IMPORTANT: Drop the rear of the headliner first and make sure the hole you drill allows you enough room to install the mounting nut. The sunroof assy will dictate where the antenna is mounted. Mount the antenna and tighten the nut tightly. You will not need silicone or anything extra to seal the gasket. Run your wire under the headliner and down the left rear pillar and into the trunk (if that is where the brains are) or down the pillar and along the door sills and kick panels. NOTE: If you plan on running the antenna wire to the dash area a special ordered antenna might be needed with a extra long wire. The brains for my Kenwood unit are piggy backed on the underside of the rear shelf in the trunk. Because the Accord antenna cover is plastic the Sirius antenna has no problem picking up the signal. The sound quality is CD clear. Very slick install when completed.
