I would say it is definitely worth it. I don't have a Honda one, I have one that I got at Walmart. It actually fits my car perfect. I love not having to scrape ice off my windows in the winter. Just make sure you keep it clean and dry. And be careful when you remove it, because it could potential scratch your paint if your car is dirty.

edit:helps to have a second person to install and remove it

Oh so the aftermarket ones are good just as long as the car is clean. Anybody else wants to chime in about aftermarket or oem. Should i just go with aftermarket and save around 2 hundred.

The Honda covers are great. The salesman threw one in for my mom when she bought her Accord.

That being said, I paid under $20 for my cover at Walmart, and it works just as good as hers.

I have a Honda car cover. In my opinion it is the best cover out there. I use it every day at work (except when it is raining). The cover not only keeps the dirt off the car, but keeps the car incredibly cool in the summer. It is well built, fit's the car snuggly and even allows you to put it on when the exhaust is still hot. It also cleans up well. I have washed mine twice (commercial machine on gentle cycle) and it's still holding together well.

thanks for all of your guys input. i still kinda cant decide haha. do they offer a ipod connection for the SIs from the dealership. im going this weekend. If they do i might just get a walmart cover and get the ipod hook up.

Ipod hook up is stock on the SI's all you need is a AUX-AUX cable.

Yea it never distorts, I do love that. I just wish it was louder, that is my only complaint. I love music, and like hearing all of it, not just a "thumpin" sub, so the subwoofer is plenty for me. The system is very well balanced. I just wish the overall volume was higher. Maybe like 60, instead of the 40 max that it has.

Yea...that's why a lot of people swap their's out. It's fine for me. Maybe not as tight as I'd like (like on double bass drum fills), but it's balanced with the rest of the speakers, and that's what I like. I would replace them all, if I thought about replacing one.

Exactly. Only time I put mine on, is when it's going to snow or ice. During the winter, there is no point. Unless you wash your car, before you put it under the car cover, it's a waste of time. Because, it is impossible to avoid the lines (not scratches...think running your finger over the dusty paint) that the cover makes when it drags up your car, over the road salt and dust. In the summer, it might be less pointless (and could keep your car cooler)but in the winter I only use it, if a storm is in the forecast.


I can't wait until summer! I hate the fact, that ten minutes after I wash my car, it is filthy again. AND, I can't wait to clay my car.
