    I have a 9th gen accord sport. I can honestly say it’s by far my favorite car. From the reliability to the looks on the interior/exterior to just it all. Been modding it a little over a year now and I’m loving how the car is coming out 🫡

      Nice! I’ve owned a 6th Gen, two 7th Gens, and my 9th Gen, and I love them all, but there’s something special about the 9th Gen for sure.

    LED taillights assembly and a LED headlights assembly. Absolutely necessary especially since you already have the digital turn signals

      Since I have the EX-L, the tail lights and daytime running lights are LED from the factory, and I upgraded the headlight bulbs to LED.

      @@whitneythe6thgenaccord680 nice!!!! How is it on gas?! Will you invest a better insulated hood cover to protect against the scorching heat? I was thinking it's better to just purchase a $1500 portable ac to use inside the car instead of using the engine ac constantly which degrades it. (While idling ofcourse), I don't think using the ac while momentarily driving is as bad as having the ac on for hours while idling which is why the portable option seems ideal

      @@whatitisnt. So my experience with gas mileage is somewhat unique, as I disabled the VCM feature, a cylinder deactivation program meant to improve fuel economy. With it disabled, my mileage is okay, I’d say 20-22 mpg average.

    Looking good, I like the rain guards and the rear spoiler too. I just picked up a 9th gen V6 sedan a couple months ago. I put on the VLAND taillights and the factory style trunk spoiler. Working on doing some skirts next. I'd definitely recommend the taillights, they'll make the rear pop a lot more.

      Hey, hope all is well. Question: did you run into any issues installing the tail lights? I plan to order them in a couple weeks and I’ve seen a few people say they’ve ran into problems with fuses blowing and check engine lights coming in after installing them.

      I had initially installed them wrong so I did blow a fuse. My bad! Not the taillights fault. So just take your time with the wiring, and make sure everything is plugged in right. I also did not need to grind down or modify any connections like a couple reviews said. I’ve had no problems with them for the last 4 months or so.

      Thanks, I appreciate it. The website design is a bit old, so it seems sketchy at first, but it’s 100% legit. Shipping took no more than a few days also. Installation is plug and play; there are a few videos with people installing it on Odysseys and Pilots; the process is the exact same for the Accord. Here’s the link:
