I just realized how much better the door handles look painted. Nice ride though, the new body is starting to grow on me a little. I still haven't seen one in person.

Yea, the door handles and side mirrors do look better painted. But, its the VP, what can you do...

Its about $30 to replace the handles, not sure how much the mirrors are...

I still haven't seen one in person.I can't believe the door handles are black on the VP!?! :dunno: The mirrors OK, but it probably costs them more to order a limited number of door handles in black than it would to add to the order for whatever color! Hmmm, that could go for the mirrors as well...

That said, I'd love to have black trim around the windows of my EX! I think it just gives it a sportier look than the chrome.

Also side mirrors, side under mouldings and chrome window trim.... I still like TSX rims on the Accord, though. Where'd you get your set?

Don't know if anybody realized that this is our first look at the 06 Accord VP in Alabaster Silver Metallic...

Second pic reminds me of Heather Mist Metallic...wish they still made that color!

Nope. Now that you mention it.... ;)
I couldn't differentiate slight shades of color on my work monitor.. The video card can only handle 256 colors at the resolution I use. :boohoo:

I can't see the picture now at work, but do TSX's come with 16" or 17" rims? I have seen another accord with TSX rims but they looked slightly bigger than these.

TSX's have 17" rims.

Yea, their 17"s. I think what you guys are seeing is the large gap in the front. My driveway is at a pretty steep angle, so it causes the car to rock back a bit. I'll need to get a pic on an even surface.

Then again, maybe the ride hight has changed for the 06? :dunno:

I think thats what I am seeing, it makes the wheels look smaller because of the hill. Any tips on where to pick some up? Ebay? TSX forums? What should I be looking at for price?

Head to Acurazine.com and you will probably find a set for sale. I would say around $400 with tires. Most people just want to get rid of them because they got aftermarkets and the stocks are taking up space, so you can get a good deal on them. Good luck...

Get the OEM Rear Wing Spoiler! It will make it look MUCH sportier. Also, if you want the painted trim pieces, go to a body shop, and have them TAKE the parts OFF of the car and then let them paint them to the cars color. Don't let them do it with them on the car, it'd look soo bad then. overspray sucks trust me!

You know, Im not really into spoilers and niether is the wife. If anything, I would get the deck lid spoiler. A little lower profile.

I'm not into the spoilers either but I am thinking of putting on the front spoiler and installing some oem fogs. The front looks so bland the way it is.

The '06 doesn't have a front lip spoiler option. Besides, Honda OEM parts come pre-painted anyway. :)

Careful though, The bolt holes line up different. At least they did for me!

I am planning to stick with the black accessories (I like the way it looks) so I am adding black TSX mirrors on the car. Someday, when I get time I will post it with my cars pics at: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5699
