Agreed. The JDM Honda Inspire type fog lamps should have been made available for the 7G Accord.

Honestly, I always felt that my 07 AV6 sedan ho-hum in the looks department....especially in comparison with my 12 EX sedan.

....if the Concept C winds up being the 9G then it'll put both to shame in the looks dept.

Thank you! Your coupe looks very nice in those pics

Thank you sir. I am going to be redoing my retro soon with nicer shrouds and Asean-esque headlights. I still need to drop about ~$900 on my front suspension (getting new control arms, and pressing in some Superpro Polyurethane compliance bushings into those, as well as replacing the right tie rod... Possibly the left as well by then but I'm not sure.)

Pretty much my car is going to be relaxing in the garage for a couple months. I have half the suspension work done (the HFP suspension and Ingalls rear camber kit) but I still need to do the bushings, etc. to get everything 100%. Damn these NYC streets!

I have a bunch of little asthetic/mechanical upgrades I plan to do here and there, but I need to pace myself unfortunately.

Your car is looking good as well. May I say Daniel, that I really much preferred your TL wheels.

Dang another '03 AV6 6mt going to be sold. Can't argue with an S2k though if you're young and can live with a two seater. I bet the car sells today. I sold mine in pretty much 24 hours.

I do like the TLs a bit more

its certainly a beast, and 6 speeds are awesome in their own right, no cosmetic mods needed..

well, due to the lack of honesty out of every single S2K owner i've visited to look at their cars, im holding off putting mine up "for sale" for a short while at least.

i was in a rush, and figured i could find one easily in the range i was looking for, but it seems in a few thousand below trustworthy owners still.

so i'll be wanting to do a few things to the accord to keep me busy. why not some HP and sound.








what intakes are you guy's running? CAI? SRI? exhaust piping size? etc...

I'm running an Injen (Came with the car), but I just bought a AEM V2 to install this weekend. I've had great experiences with the V2 when I had the TL-S.

S2000 owners are fickle when it comes to selling their cars. Been there, hated it.

hahah, so true.

I bet its impossibly hard to find one unmolested. That car is meant to be driven, and usually is by one of us crazy-asses.

Purple looks good.

I had an AEM V2 on mine and it. IMO it's the best sounding/performing intake for the AV6s.

well then that is what i'll go with.

i want it for the sound and performance.
i do think they are a bit though haha
but i like the neutral color.

is there a major difference in those two categories between the V2 and the original CAI from AEM?
