Default Brand Newbie Here....

I'm a Honda guy, but this is my FIRST Accord. We just bought an 06 Accord EX Sedan with MT (Silver w/ Blk interior). Our 99 Civic died in a recent flood (4' high water), so we went out to replace it. Well, the Civic is so popular, we couldn't find one anywhere, and they were all at MSRP $19,800. We got the 06 Accord EX Sedan for $19,300. THis is WELL below invoice (so I'm told). I'm so thrilled I didn't get a Civic. This Accord rocks. It handles much better, is more powerful, and has a ton of better options the Civic didn't. Not to mention, I paid less for it than I would have for a comparable Civic!!!! Unbelievable!

My ONLY gripe so far is the look of the hind-end. I desperately want to find some form of rear ground spoiler (in addition to a rear deck-lid or wing) to make the rear end less egg-like. Otherwise, the front end is VERY ferrari/Porsche like with its agressive lines and the sweeping healight assemblies. Sweet looking. I'm always up for suggestions. Oh, ya the only OTHER gripe is the lack of the MP3/WMA playback capability that the Civic EX has.

Regards.

H and A accessories can solve both of your problems

www.handaaccessories.com

They sell under spoilers and MP3 players for the accord (2003+ years)

VERY familiar with H&A, however they do not have underspoilers for the 06's that I could see, and I am not keen on buying a whole nother dash mounted unit just to play MP3 discs. It would be cheaper to get the music-link and then go buy an iPod. You'd get more for your money that way, and keep the center console storage. Plus, you could remove the player and use it that way as well. Just my thoughts. Maybe I'll go that route?

It seems weird there is factory undersill spoilers for just about every model, but not the 06 Accords... Grrr. Still happy with the car though.

You might want to call them and see if they have the 06 parts or if the 03-05 ones fit.

hondapartswarehouse.com has underspoilers but you would have to call confirm that. Also hondapartsdeals.com also has underspoilers but only for the front and the back that i can see.
