So I pmd sonnick and he said he is not running the aem fic :/ I know a guy who can wire up the fic for around $250. He's really popular around the Honda scene.
More updates :
Just picked up a light weight Braille battery and oem all weather floor mats. Not sure if I'm keeping the floor mats .. got them because it was too cheap to pass up.
Battery came with a mounting bracket and accessories. Ill update with more pics when I install them probably later on the day

It's not a good thing. The Braille battery is so small, he keeps a portable charger in the car to start it in the cold weather.

dstah....sorry buddy, I thought Sonnick was running the FIC on his Accord....
and glad you went with the 21lb braille battery....the 11 which I have does not have enough juice to power the TL once the weather dips below 50's. Anything about the 17lb in the braille offering works well

Haven't updated in a good while..
As you can tell I'm a bisimoto lover.. Custom cams by him in the near future, good thing he's local !
Hey what's this ?!
The detailing bug bit me , chemical guys ftw !
Only thing I don't like about white is no matter how clean or shiny you make it, it doesn't shine like black or darker cars.. But hey! Less noticeable on scratches / swirl marks
Went to the track about 4 weeks ago... Not so good times lol.. My car wouldn't catch grip. I probably didn't do a big enough burn out
Slow day at work so I decided to Do my alignment ( which is every 2 months lol )
60,600 miles !
it's getting old
Decided to redo my calipers ( don't mind the over spray lol )
How they look

Wow dstah, you are doing some big things, man!
Did you do the braille to drop weight? Or engine space?
And here's mine, from last weekend...my teal caliper brother...
Also, a grocery plastic bag is PERFECT to cover the entire rotor and dust shield...that, then take out pads and rotate a piece of newspaper under the caliper.

Absolutely love the calipers and I love the shine... but what I do hate is the bragging about the great weather 
We are expecting a foot of snow this weekend out here in the Northeast

I'm sure the people in NYC and Boston would be happy to give you some of their 3 feet of snow....
