Welcome to DA! Congratz on the new Accord. How you like it so far?

Btw, is that plug a engine block heater thing?

I love it so far! :banana::thmsup: I can finally have a car I no longer need to pick-up at the repair shop every second month (96 Grand Am Auto). :lmao:

New Job, new car. She is my first new car and I intended on treating her right, hence why I am here.

BTW, it is a tow plug.

Very nice! Looks clean. Bet that manual tranny is fun to drive. Welcome to DA.:wave:

Got any plans for modding yet? Some tint would look great!

Thanks for the comments. :) If you are wondering, BTW, in the background, it is a Dodge 1957 Regent sitting there. My landlord keeps them for parts only. Supposedly, they are hot items...

My government prevents me from tinting my windows, below 15 cm from the top. It is to assure that a driver and a pedestrian can make eye-contact and know that you are looking at them so they don't fear of getting nailed when crossing the street.

I am looking, USA Spec PA11-HON2y Aux inpu, perhaps fog lights (JDM) and 3M clear bra. I also read on this forum that putting a TL sway bar appear to give good results...

Too bad you can't tint it. In CA state you can't tint the front windows at all, but the back ones are ok. Some people on here have done the sway bar with good results. The 7th gen FAQ (http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5095) is a good resource, as well as some good old fashion searches.

That's odd, it says your car is graphite pearl, but it kinda looks like carbon bronze pearl in the pics. Is it the reflection off the gravel on the ground that makes it look like that?

It is! You're right! My dealer's invoice, insurance papers and registration papers only say ''gray''. :dunno: I assumed gray meant ''pearl'', hence why I believe Graphite Pearl meant gray. But now, I see the Carbon Bronze Pearl is the right colour. Thank you for exposing my mistake! :thmsup:

Mantour, how did you get your XM radio to work? I thought it was only for the USA.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I guess Honda and Acura will begin equipping XM radio in cars in Canada pretty soon. :thumbsup:

Honda is/was the only manufacturer that did not to include XM radio as an option in the cars. In 2008, they introduced XM on EX-L and V6 EX-L model. I believe XM radio is available for all other manufacturer for 200-250$ option for 3 months. My truck at work, brand new GMC Sierra has XM radio integrated: you see the channel but no information is given... also, it is only good for the truck too. I prefer stand-alone radio since with the radio receptor, I get XM in my car and at home. Both home and car kits were included in the box for 100$.
