just had them put the rims on when I bought the car, purchased the rims and tires a week before the car came in, they were at the dealership in parts until it came in, they then put them on along with my rear deck spoiler, aligned and balanced the wheels, all for a basically nothing, but I think that's because I had just paid in full my Touring model lol

LITTLE UPDATE: "Accord, V6 and Touring" emblems have been removed. 30-40 seconds with heat gun on low, keep 4" inches away and stay moving

I swapped the dull yellow interior lights with the white LED lights sold on the College Hills Honda site, it's halfway down the page: http://www.collegehillshonda.com/hon...ftermarket.htm
[PICTURES OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING LATER TONIGHT]

I also replaced the horn with the Double Horn Upgrade sold by College Hills Honda on ebay, link here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Honda-A...6e5f67&vxp=mtr

I'm picking my Touring up in the next day or two. I'm thinking hard about your wheels, man. I'm really disappointed in the stock wheels. 17"? Old man wheels.

No, dont wait to the totally dark night. It will ruin the picture quality.
LED lights at twilight, please.

Nice looking ride! Saw one in person the other day and definitely a step up from the 8th gen.
