College Hills Honda has released the list and preliminary pricing...not a lot new, but 18" wheels are listed as an accessory - does that mean all EX models get standard 17's?

There's also a listing for the '08 Coupe, but the link isn't active yet...

My guess is V6 models with 18" ers, EX and SE models with 17" ers, and LX and lower models with 16" ers.

One of the accessories listed is a rear-view camera Kit (for the '08 models with navi). You would think that they would make that a standard feature on all navi-equipped models.

You would think in the New Accord that the Auto-Dimming-Mirror would be Standard also with the Nav. Car.

Honda sets their dealers up for Very High Profit Margins when Customers UpGrade their Accords with the (Genuine-Honda-Accessories). :thmsup:

The Labor to install these accessories is as much or Greater than each Accessory.

Anyone else notice that the Foglight Accessory kit comes with a dash switch? From looking at the Owner's Manual the V6 models have the foglight control on the left stalk. Quite a difference between stock and accessory packages there!!

We're still going to have to have someone figure out how to "re-wire" so the headlights don't have to be on for the foglights to be turned on. Hope that solution is the same, no matter how your 2008 Accord obtained its foglights.

Not only that, I'm also wondering WHERE the accessory fog lights will go on the bumper fascia. The V6 has the little holes for the factory fogs -- which looks really, really nice... but not so with the I4. I guess they want me to cut out huge holes like the 03-05's required. Grr.

Or at least the "just right" :yes: size hole like the Ridgeline requires. No margin for error ... :thumbsdow

Technically the auto-dim mirror does come standard with NAVI. All EX-L models will get a standard auto-dim mirror and u can only get NAVI on the EX-L trim levels. :yes:

Looks kind of bulky. I'll have to see this in person. :dunno:

The new cargo nets look sweet! Not only a zipper top (will keep the grocerys in place around hard corners :D ) but it has dividers in front of it. Looks perfect for larger items. I wonder if they'll hold a watermelon in place? :paranoid:

It does look bulky and even more so in person IMO. I don't know which one looks worse though, the add on fogs on the 4 cylinder or the v6 ones? The 4 cylinders have the big black trim, I think that's my main gripe and it may be something that could be taken off, sanded, and painted to help somewhat? The fogs on the v6 have a smooth inset look BUT they don't match the design of the car. The car has a very squared look in the front and insets for the foglights that sort of mirror the headlights above with their sharp lines. But the fog lights on the V6s are just these round fog lights set in the middle of the squared inset...doesn't look right IMO, looks like something that was hashed out last minute made from parts off last years' model. The foglights should have fit the car IMO, maybe something squared or set further back with a squared (not rounded) hole. Any one else agree?

are there any fog light kits that work for the LX models since they do not have the interior harness?

The fog on the 4 cyclinders would have looked better if they make the garnish longer instead of ending at the fog.

Oly way to go is add the v6 bumper - or non at all!
