First post, here it goes...

14 days left until I get my Black '08 Accord Coupe...and I'm pretty much counting down the seconds. Judging by the pictures I've see on this forum, I want to do some modifications to the car once I get it.

First off, I wanted to see what people think looks better on the car: Aero Kit Package or NO Aero Kit Package...its $1500 more expensive, and I'm not sure if it worth the money.

Secondly, is it legal to tint the headlights in Vancouver liek jblaust has done to his ride here:

Also, how would I be able to remove the "Accord Badge"?

Let me know any other suggestions you think would be important to know when buying the car, not too long left till I can roam the streets with it :banana:. Thanks!

Hey fellow Vancouverian! :)

Are you getting the I4 or V6 and in auto or manual?

I got the aero kit as I think it adds more to the aggressive look of the car, but on its own looks very nice as well, as I've seen a black one w/o one on. Look around for pics and judge for yourself on what you'd like. How are you getting it for $1,500 btw? Isn't it close to $2k CDN?

Remove the Accord badge using floss. :)

I wouldn't tint those headlights as you'll get reduced light output as jblaust has already mentioned.

Thanks for the floss tip, I'll definitely look into that. And as for the Aero Kit, it looks very darn sexy to be honest, and considering that im getting the I4, it somewhat makes up for the lack of the second exhaust I think. The price is for employees apparently, I have a friend that works in service and parts, and he is able to get me some sort of reasonable discount on it.

Ah nice. I got mine for around that price as well, but as you mentioned, it's through knowing people. :) Get the kit I'll say.
Which dealer you getting it from?

Hope to see more Accords out there on the roads. I really like this new gen coupe.

no, it doesn't look too good with the white, and its illegal too here. Reading some of the forums here kinda turned me off too, check this one out for example:
