08 NBP Accord Coupe EX-L Nav *pics*

My girlfriend picked up her new car a couple weeks ago, and we finally got around to cleaning it up nice and installing HID's. Here are some pictures.

Sorry about my reflection in a couple pics. :o

I actually like the new Accords, always finding myself doing a double take on 'em on the road.

I really like the new coupe. How did you do the HIDs? I would want to install those as well if I got an Accord.

Looks great.

I was wondering is you can tell me where you got your HIDs from.

NBP is nice, that was my second color option when I chose mine. I like the HIDs, I might have to invest some money into that. Get ready for the stares.

Do you know any good Accord forums?

This thing is MEGA HOT!!!! I love it!

I also saw the coupe in other colors around here recently - they are equally hot! Gosh, if I were in the market for a coupe, this would have been high on my list!!!

Damn, looks like a freaking monster truck. Those back wheels could be an inch wider as well. Looks nice though, not quite CL-S nice, but still not bad.

Tru dat. I'm just still shell shocked from my CL auto experience. VCM is a nice feature, though because the 8th gen is heavier than the 7th, there's reports they're not getting nearly as good gas mileage. God, I feel like a Debbie Downer. Sorry. The car is hot anyway.

So have you guys raced yet?

from the few tanks she has ran through it so far, it seems to get really good milage compared to my CLS.

no racing yet lol. she hasnt even taken it over 4k revs yet.

she used to drive a 6th gen LX sedan 4cyl, so this thing feels like rocket to her.

Oh, good to hear she's getting good mpg. I got my info from "another" forum so who knows if it was first hand knowledge or not.

I'm sure it feels great stepping up to a V6 from the I4. Good call on breaking it in before the big race.

Sweet steering-wheel and nice new ride but Honda its 2008 and no HIDs as standard for EX models? On top of that not even projector headlites? Even 1999 Integra had proj in the headlites.

so the accords don't come with HIDs? didn't know that....

what a shame.

if you don't mind me asking, which dealer did your gf buy from and how much did she pay?

<-------- considering the accord coupe if insurance ultimately decides to total my TSX or if i have to sell it.

the sidewalls arent too fat at all. i think they would fit the CL fine if you ran 225/45/18

i may test fit them one day cause my car is prob the ultimate test cause of how low it is
