That sux. I'm hoping for a little more this year due to getting married and filing together, but it's all going into the bank. I can only justify spending a fraction of my "extra" money on mods since we're saving to get out of the condo and into a house. Noisy/dirty neighbors FTL.

Woah, I hadn't seen that blacked out lower bumper get done before... looks surprisingly good!

Have you thought about removing the "V6" badge and getting some black chrome on the "H" Looks good regardless.

Love it, looks great. That car is very tastefully done, and sounds sick. Ever think of taking off the V6 badge?

Thanks! I had the idea of blacking it out since I bought the car but never got around to doing it. Since I had to take the bumper off to install the LEDs I figured it was as good a time as ever to just do it. I saw another 7th gen with it blacked out using carbon fiber vinyl, but I decided to go a more permanent route. I have thought about removing the V6 badge but never made up my mind to do it or not. I took off the Accord badge but couldn't decide on the V6 badge.

Thank you sir. Glad you like it. I guess I should seriously consider taking off the V6 badge, two comments in a row might be a sign lol!

It doesn't look bad, but that car is very clean and it would just add to the sleekness of it. Plus I think every V6 Accord I see still has that badge. haha

Black Chrome H badge is a good idea as well v6cord2k5.

I had the V6 badge removed by the dealer, and it looks great. Surprisingly, I've had a couple people want the badge as it's red in color and denotes the six-speed.

^ Thats the main reason I left it on, to i.d. it as a 6 speed.

I think I'm going to take it off and see how I like it. I can always put it back on if I miss it. Thanks for the input guys!

I think it would look cleaner. I took all my badges off, if I could take off the "H" without leaving open holes I would have taken that off too.

May I just say, after having the Comptech short shifter on for a little over a week, I've fallen even deeper in love with my 6 speed.

Oh, and another picture of Sedona to whore up the Accord thread.

Yeah that's what I named my car. San Marino just didn't seem to fit the sexy girl car name thing for me, so I chose Sedona since the car's red and I live in Arizona. Sedona, AZ is all about the red rocks and is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, so it just seemed to fit.

Thanks! I love them too. Gunmetal wasn't my 1st choice for color, but at the time they didn't have the hyper or silver available, but I learned to love them lol.

My S2 is the best detector I've ever owned. I used it shamelessly up in Ontario while on vacation there back in 07.

Our S2 is gettting slammed here in this thread. I've spent a lot of time and the reviews are all over the place on the Solo S2. I am a little worried now.

I cant stand dealing with cords and all that plugging and unplugging. Catch 22.

^ I like. The TL wheels look great on your sedan. I love the color too, sometimes wish they offered that on the coupe instead of only San Marino Red.

Thx, Super Trooper! Yeah, Redondo Red Pearl is especially great in the sun...have gotten many compliments on it. I like your blackout lower bumper, I have wanted to do the same on my car.
