Nice pics. Very comprehensive. Thanks for the info.

I'm taking a guess here and assuming that the additional buttons on the lower right part of the wheel are for the MID display. If so it's a huge improvement. Not having to take my hands off the wheel to scroll through the options would be great. Moving it to the center of the gauge cluster is nice as well, however I kind of like it where it is now. Plus it's not what I consider primary information. I would much rather see the tach moved to the center and the speedo on the left. I'm willing to bet we'll see that on the redesign.

Thanks for the pics. Those wheels just dont fit in. The A-Spec bodykit does make a huge difference as those shown in the Miami thread.

I also thought the exhaust would sound better. And the exhaust does have more flow as stated through vtec.net

Are the seats two-tone? They look like it from the pics.

Thanks for posting the pics also.

The tame exhaust note inside the S may be due to the "Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) " feature for Type S only..??

I like your pics better than the website..i guess because they are real and focus on the stuff we actually would look at more. I Love the seat and door trim. Gauges are hot too. I think I want the seats and tails from the typeS an I should be happy

I hope they got the ANC right because I've read many 2WD Pilot owners having problems with their ANC causing a humming noise. Honda doesn't currently have a fix for it either

Wow! You're all welcome for the pics!

Thanks ass, now I want one
No Problem! Hahaha.....

Thanks for the pics what kind of camera did you use?
For the camera, i am using a Canon Digital Rebel XT.

Is the quality of materials updated? like the leather? I heard they use softer and more durable leather for the 07's. Do the windows still rattle when closing the doors with the windows down?
Leather seemed a bit softer, no rattling, but then again I dont have that problem in my 05 either.

does anybody know if the steering wheel would be able to function on the 3G?

Hey johnny, is the stock type S shifter shorter? it looks a little shorter than the stock 3G shifter.
Shifting was the same, but tranny did feel a bit smoother, maybe just because it was new. Steering wheel probably will not work since the MID buttons are on the right side now.

So the new deck lid spoiler is "fatter".. does it stand taller? hard to see a noticeable difference.
The Decklid spoiler is a tiny bit taller, and thicker, as in it extends towards the rear window more on the trunk...

I'm taking a guess here and assuming that the additional buttons on the lower right part of the wheel are for the MID display. If so it's a huge improvement. Not having to take my hands off the wheel to scroll through the options would be great. Moving it to the center of the gauge cluster is nice as well, however I kind of like it where it is now. Plus it's not what I consider primary information. I would much rather see the tach moved to the center and the speedo on the left. I'm willing to bet we'll see that on the redesign.

Yes, those are for the MID, TPMS, etc

I am already talking to parts to get prices on tail lights, rear smoked side markers, and front and rear bumper covers and front grill.

All total, He is giving me a screaming deal, but I might just do piece by piece. The lights are NOT CHEAP!! At least not full price.....It's definitely nice to know people!

i would venture to guess the procats will probly fit along with the intake. and i bet the blower wouldnt be too hard to fit either.

Love the key, love the fact that navi got an upgrade, love the gauge cluster, not a fan of the red above the navi.

Exterior is too ricey for my taste.

Lots of nice stuff. I myself want the updated nav. Extra HP and torque from the larger motor would be nice but not going to sell my 06 just for a modest increase.


Timing is everything I guess.

Thanks for the great post with all of the pics.
