Owner of a Silver 2006 EX with bells and whistles.
Hope to learn more about my car through the various forums.
Just wanted to say hello.

Hey Ross,

4-door sedan.
Totally stock.

Any mods on your ride? If so, which did you start with?

Thanks,
David

Just a few words of caution about "mods". In my opinion, the allure of an Accord, or any Honda, is the quality. I think most aftermarket parts are inferior to oem parts. Why pay extra for a Honda, then replace the quality Honda parts with cheap aftermarket parts? Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of quality aftermarket parts, but they are few and far between, IMO. If you do mod your car, make sure you get quality parts, and that you know how to properly install them. My 03 EX V6 is all stock, and it's a fantastic car.

BLKFLSH,

Appreciate your insights.

I was just looking to throw on some wheels (2008 TL Type S honeycomb gunmetals) and call it a day. BTW, don't really know if these fall into the "aftermarket" category.

They are made by Honda, so that makes them good with me.

For those that are more experienced with wheels, do you know of a vendor from whom I could purchase the 2008 TL Type S honeycomb gunmetal wheels relatively cheap. I realize these are expensive wheels and I am ready to pay but I was just curious whether I could purchase these new for less than the ~$1,100 on Ebay.

Many thanks,
David

I imagine not many 08 TL-S owners are changing those wheels out, so you may have to wait a while for a good deal. If you want new wheels, they will not be cheap. I think new wheels, from a site like HandAaccessories.com would cost more than $1,100.
