Go for a white one, I live in a similar climate in Alberta, and white will be great, the dirt, for some reason doesn't show as much on a white one as it does on lets say black, blue would be nice, but IMO, I would get a white one! Haha you will be the odd man out driving a car, whenever I drive through Saskatoon, all i see are trucks, or SUVs.

Haha thanks man... I did order the car in white and it will be here in a month or so. I am super pumped for it... And ur right in toon town I don't think I have seen an accord coupe driving around. Although I will probably notice more after I get it. Tends to happen. Also sometime we should see if there are many other SSK / AB members for a meet. Never know right? Have a good one man hopefully this winter quits soon!

Hello All,

I am looking at getting the fog light kit from college hills Honda. However, before I purchase this I want to make sure of a few things.

#1 - Is the 2011 EX Coupe in Canada pre-wired with the correct harness to allow these fog lights to be essentially "plug and play?"

#2 - These lights should be the same as the US ones as both the US model, and CDN model are built in the same factory?

Thanks all, hopefully someone here has done them, and might be able to fill me in.

According to the manual the wiring harness is different going to the fog lights in Canadian models. I looked at it and couldn't figure out why.

Humm that is strange, I might have to pony up the dough and have the dealership do it for me I was really hoping I wouldn't have to. Maybe I could get them to give me a good deal on installing it. Who knows.

Thanks for the information.

Are there any people here that would be able to get a hold of the official Honda Canada 2011 EX Coupe installation guide for the fog lights?

Hey all,

I know I have been asking a lot of question on here. But I am thinking of installing a rear light LED brake on my coupe at the top of the window like another user here I saw. Now I am gonna kill the light in the middle of the rear deck, and was thinking of installing this one:

(See link) http://www.ledunderbody.com/ledglow-...te-lights.aspx

I think it would work well, not only allowing it to be on while running but also allow the turn signals and brake to be seen easier, as well as providing additional light while backing up. What do you guys think?

Try going to the Honda owner link eStore http://estore.honda.com/accesssory-i...-instructions/ for instructions. The US instructions are there. Maybe there is a CDN version somewhere? Maybe contact their web site to ask?

Calgary has quite a few member, but have a tough time getting more than 3-4 cars at a time for a meet. I'll try and arrange an Alberta meet if i can this summer, maybe co-ordinate one with Sask?

Congrats on the car!

I don't think it would look nice, I have the interior lighting kit from ledunderbody though and those are nice.

Heck yes we can co-ordinate with SSK members... I think I might be the only one?! Anyone else here from the Great Rider Pride Province AKA Saskatchewan?

The call to pick up my new 2011 EX Coupe 5MT from the dealership should be any day now! So excited! Are there any interesting stories of when you guys picked up your car? Anything fun you guys did?

Mine came a week early, drove to Red Deer, picked it up with my dad, then drove home. Nothing too exciting. But I felt like a million $$$$ playing with the console, was a blast. Technically was my first car, was surreal, got it on December 31st, great way to start off the new year with a bang! Right before my birthday too. Couldn't have been any better. I barely drank on new years so that I could wake up early and drive around.
