New Owner of an '07 EX-L V-6 Coupe With Questions
Hi guys. I just got a great deal on a close out '07, and have some questions.
1. My car has the brushed aluminum interior trim. I want to add trim on the dash to tie into the door trim. Will aftermarket kits match my trim, or should I go AEM with that? I can find everything OEM except the area right around the door handle - Is that available?
2. Who's the best source for mud flaps, all weather floor mats and a trunk cargo mat?
3. Anyone install Ebay fog lights that are copies of the OEM lights? Are they any good?
4. What's the best way to hook an MP3 or iPod to the factory audio system?
5. Any good options for an aftermarket grill?
5. What are the options for rear spoilers?
Thanks in advance for the information.
Jim

For your year (brand new)
I'd do the following:
Weather Tech floor mats (AWESOME FIT)
OEM Fogs (since it's brand new)
and I'm not sure on the trim, check out the Accord FAQ (majestic honda link) and browse around on there, you should be able to find most of the OEM stuff you want for cheap

I really have nothing against aftermarket OEM style ones (in fact I rock those on one of my vehicles).
The fact that your car is so new, and the parts are still readily available (like try to find OEM 96 fogs w/ harness) I would stick to OEM as just to keep everything Honda.
The only reason I would go aftermarket for fogs would be if OEM wasn't easily available.
You should be able to buy the kit and install them yourself though. (Removal of bumper + running some wiring).

Keeping it all Honda makes sense if the OEM units are much better, but the aftermarket kits are about half the price of the OEM and they look the same. If the quality isn't inferior, then they seem like a good deal. It seems to me that there is likely a large difference in quality, but unless someone has already compared them, the only way for me to know would be to buy both, which isn't what I want to do.
Thanks again,
Jim

I have frequently bought from them and I have only good things to say about their service. The prices are usually considerably below dealer prices.
