Just picked up my '08 - 8thAccord

Brenzo · 06-08-2008, 03:36 PM

Hello all, I just got my accord on Friday and all I can say is I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT! I got the "08 EX-L V6 AT Coupe, San Marino Red. I splurged and got the HFP Body Kit And The HFP Sport suspension, and I am so glad I did. The car handles like a dream. I was also surprised how good on gas this little firecracker was. I thought the 30 MPG that they advertised might be stretching it a bit but if you can resist opening this baby up(which is hard to do) and let the cruise do it's job on the highway she just sips the gas. I have no idea how the VCM works but with gas at 4 bucks a gallon and climbing it's a godsend. I had a question for the pros though. I was thinking about upgrading the speakers, sub, adding a processor, and a small amp. Somebody told me that the factory is now adding a anti-vibration insulation inside the doors and if I pull apart the doors to replace the speakers I'll never get it back together right. I don't want to spend that kind of money to install premium sound and add a rattling door at the same time. Is this true? How can I get around it? Keep in mind I'm not the type of person who wants to here his speakers a mile away, but I want to sit in my car and say "dam that sounds good." I was looking at a Rockford Fosgate Set-up:Sixty-6 processor, punch speakers, small amp and maybe 1 or two 10's. What do you guys think? Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks Alot
Pics Coming Soon

I didn't even know Honda offered a HFP sport suspinson kit for the new Accord.

Brenzo · 06-12-2008, 05:57 PM

Ya they do, it only lowers the car 1 inch, but as my girlfriend says 1 inch can make a big difference.

Hmmmm ok I didn't see it on line or at the dealer close to where I live. The dealer in Florida where I got my Si had a display case full of those sort of things. Might varry between dealers.

The best site I've found for HFP parts is Honda Parts at HondaPartsDeals.com: Honda Accessory, Honda Car Parts, Honda Auto Parts, Honda Accord Parts. They've got a lot of things I can't find on other sites. I'm trying to stick with Honda parts right now so I don't nullify my warranty
