If you decide to get the cargo nets in the future, just know that you will have to drill into the sheet metal of the trunk to install it. A LOT of people don't realize this when they buy them.

Any particular reason you didn't get the Honda sensing package? It takes the car to a whole new level IMO.
The trunk tray was extra? My past 2 Accords I've got wheels lock and truck tray for no extra charge. Maybe my friend put it in there for free. I don't know, I didn't think about the Honda sensing, I actually forgot they had it.


I'm not really going to mod mine, the 19's fill the wheel well enough for me. I'm going to tint it next week install my LED interior lights, and HID's and that's probably it.

That HondaSensing package is a bunch of bullshit anyway. It's pretty much a package to allow you to text safely while driving

You notice he hasn't posted any of the front end, just the back end?

Just don't let J do it. He was talking about shooting all over his car in the s2k thread. Definitely not what you want on brand new paint, regardless of what he says!

Nice Accord! The 2016 look real nice now. Any idea on how the CVT compares to Nissans in the Maxima?

I can't comment...



HiDs are here ready to be installed. Trying to get my windows tinted on Monday. 15% in the rear. Looking for a Jlw6 for a little thump. But other then that I'm done with how it sits... Maybe some window visors but that's it. The car is already perfect as far as exterior and interior.

Nice! You got the car I was about to buy before I bought the TLS. They were offering 25k OTD for the new 2016 Sport for me, but I passed it up... =(

For where you're at in your life with the 2 kids consuming a lot of time, and your need for trouble free comfortable ride with some good gas mileage, I honestly think you made the right decision, my friend.

Parked it today to get on the bus and looked back at it... I was like yup, that's the one.

The look back. I still look back every time I park, even after a year of ownership.

You made a right choice Kev.

Now start looking for a s2k.

Yes, I know, the weather is getting nicer too. I'll have to adjust my gym schedule a little bit.

I want to get my monies worth for my bus pass. It's good for the whole month of Feb. So I'll start driving March 1. Plus I need to make sure my friend has his parking spot still, because I work downtown and it's not cheap. He was able to get a spot for $65 a month so I was just going to split it with him and walk 3-4 blocks to work.

No showers here either. My old department did.

If they build us a new building, the new building will have showers, but that's going to take 5 years.

Well, I'm probably ahead of you on total look backs. Couple times every day; whereas you see your car what, once a week?

I can't believe I expanded on this. :soory: I feel derp.
