    Carl's 2013 Accord

    Hey guys, welcome to my build thread for my new 2013 Honda Accord EX. The exterior is Alabaster Silver and the interior is black cloth. It's a 6 speed manual powered by the K24W1 engine. Funny story about this particular trim and transmission. To have a black interior, 6 speed and EX trim, I only had the option of 2 colors, gray or silver. Also, 6 speed manual accords that are NOT in the sport trim are actually kind of difficult to find.

    It has a few gadgets like phone/bluetooth, keyless entry & push button start, a back up camera and blind spot camera. I think the thing I love about it the most is that its so comfortable to me. I have plenty of leg and head room which I didn't have in the Eclipse. Im sure there are other features im forgetting to mention but these are the ones off the top of my head.

    Now on to the pics:

    Future Mods:

    OEM Aero kit
    Retrofit S2K projectors
    Wheels

    Congrats bro! She looks good. It's nothing quite like a brand new car, all spiffy and smelling all new, I wanna see how you hook her up in the future!

    Thanks Blue & Jd. I did drive a touring model and I just didn't like the touch screen radio or the fact that it has something like 276 horses but it didn't seem to movie fast. When I drove the manual with 185, it seemed to put down the power better.

    Drones, can you link me to some pics of the modulo kit? I was just talking to a friend about modulo kits for his civic but I didn't know they had one for the 9th gen accord.

    No new updates so far besides me hitting 1k miles in like 30 days. Soon all regular bulbs will be switched with leds, hids for the lows and yellow fogs for drl and fogs.

    A little update, I drove the car last week for 2 160-180 mile round trips to philadelphia. I really have no complaints about the car for sitting in it 2 hours one way.

    I do wish for certain features that I'm a customed to like hids from my retrofit on my 3g.

    Sad update:

    I will not be getting BC coilovers for my car because the guy who was selling them did not know a thing about his set up(go figure since he had gaudy 22s on his car). The brand of the coilovers are Ksport. After speaking with another 9th gen owner, I was told that they wouldn't even fit because of the different suspension set up between the 8th gen and 9th.

    Im gonna stop taking the word of other people and just do my own research. /sigh

    Update:

    Not much has been done to car besides hids and a good cleaning.

    Future plans (no particular order):

    25% Tints
    Air Suspension
    BBS CH R or Wheels with a similar look/design
    Modulo Lip Kit
    Intake
    Magnaflow Muffler

    Any wheel input would be much appreciated when it comes to wheel brands and designs similar to the BBS CH R.
