I was looking over some oooold photos from FB, found this one...



I'm pretty sure I creamed my pants when I test drove it back in August '07, at the time, it was the car I thought I was destined to own.... Good times... good times....

Then a few weeks later, by chance, got into a dirty affair with Nissan.... And didn't look back...



Ahh the old A-Zine days....

correction, borrowed my moms truck(the daily driver) and had to go back to work for a bit.
I've also been throwing around the idea of having a crawfish boil in my neighborhood.

Cool
Ok guys so i took the bumper off and the ballast is fine it's just the ignitor that has gone bad. I swapped parts and both ballast are good. Since I allready have the bumper off I thought I would go ahead and do the HID fogs on the car, so Nauman if you can hook me up bro I need a 9006 3k kit for the TL

Oh yeah, that Accord is pretty damn sexy

Yea I did this a few weeks back. Some of the little bolts on the timing belt cover are a PITA but it is doable. I can help you if you have all the tools including an air tool.

^look through ebay.

since it is 2011, I think you'll be hard pressed to find aftermarket pieces....you might have to go to a dealer to pick up the deck lid spoiler.

^then use a 2009 decklid spoiler. it'll still be expensive because aftermarket companies havent really produced any aftermarket parts for your car, since its so new.
as nauman said, check out acuraoemparts.com oemacuraparts.com ebay.com for deals
