Im currently looking for my first car and the 2008 accord is what I’ve been looking at reliable cheap good on gas and you can make it look pretty good with just some simple mods thanks for the video
I've been researching around for a first car, wanted something which would be a chill drive with some style, love all the stuff you've done to your Accord, looks and sounds great. I think I've settled my mind on getting on of these, cheers. 🙌💯
Got the same headlights and tail lights, both make the car look 10 years newer, prefer the in channel window visors and the rear exhaust tip I would get square shape, circle is good with the old circle tail lights.
The chrome lining on the side of windows should also be painted black ASAP which will make it look like a newer car, the chrome linings on the side of the windows for newer cars are always either thinner or just blackened for every new car you see nowadays
Guess you should've told me that before I dropped 2 grand on all new OEM chrome window trim for my '09 accord coupe hehe ;) jk I don't regret it, it will look nice once I install it (eventually...after I move out of the damn desert here in NV and dont need to worry about the heat/dry/no humidity ruining the weatherstripping on the chrome pieces. [End of next year I hope]) But I've got them all sitting in my bedroom still in the packaging and its a crystal clear mirror finish on the chrome, it looks classy and not cheap...obviously looks a LOT different than the worn out chrome trim around the windows of your average 12-16 year old accord. I know not everybody will spend the type of $ and the effort that I do on my Accord (I'm about $60k deep so far, not done) but if someone wanted to, I'd say its worth the $ to get new trim (I'm guessing, I havent installed it yet lol)
Yeah, you need to add a second resonator into your exhaust system to kill all that rasp. I'm surprised you're still having that much rasp with HFPC's....
Your video is a great job. I have same make, same color, 2009 though. With this car I own I have had nothing but problems. Gas mileage is great but constantly adding a quart oil a week sucks. The tires I’ve replaced 14 in the past year &1/2. I don’t know that’s ridiculous. The alternator replaced , basically everything that works has been replaced. Over summer I thought I was going to have a heat stroke. The previous summer AC worked. No great vision with the headlights. Sometimes I pray & thank God for getting me home. The cars behind me blinds me as well as the one coming towards me. The leather is cheap it’s ridiculous. Ripping to pieces. The engine light , Tire infatuation light stays on. I have replaced the transmission lines and the horrible part is it always needs work done to and replaced parts as you would say after market. I wish you the best w/ it.
Yo man I absolutely love that car I’m trying to make my car look exactly like that do you by chance have a spread sheet that has prices and what has been done
@@cv2rob I've had her for 11 years. I finally bought a new car last month, now the Goon is about to ne my project car....that's how I found you on RUclips. I still drive her more than my new car. Can't let her go.
mugen body kits have been discontinued for like 10 years now and they were only made for the 2008-2010 models. Mine is a 2008 but it has a 2012 front end.
Wow, Sounds great.. gonna get ME some of that rumble tumble far-out sound for my 08, and it's actually same color too. Thinking bout selling it before my Colo road trip but hard to as it was my parents, then my 105lb American Straffy aka big ass pitbull took it over. Thanks for the update on your mods. I'm 68 and I need my Honda to go VVRRooom... Haha
I don’t have that car anymore lol I sold it but honestly I wanted to at first and then the spoiler grew on me and I left it alone. It’s an OEM Honda spoiler too and they are hard to find so it didn’t really bother me
aftermarket remote starter, I honestly don't even know what brand it is. I paid like $250 for it and it sucks to be completely honest. I should've just gotten one from Honda honestly. I appreciate the support!!
any types of leaks, the way the transmission shifts and i would say make sure they kept up on regular maintenance just because now these cars are at least 12+ years old.
@@kamaleon20002000 I know this might sound stupid but is everything plugged in correctly?? Hoses, electrical connections?? That’s weird because I never had that issue
it was a factory option when the car first came out, im guessing the first owner just bought it with it on already. It was on the car when i purchased it about 4 years ago.

@@cv2rob thanks for getting back to me, your Accord looks great and sounds badass! For mine, I don't want to mess with the coilovers, spacers or precats.

I own a 2008 honda accord EX-L 3.5L V6 automatic. I'm new to modding and explored some aftermarket sites but I'm just unsure what my best options are to keep it simple for now.

@@rhozu no problem and thanks bro! Sadly I sold the car back in September of 2023. If there’s anything in specific that you want links for I can try to go through my Amazon, eBay and maybe even my safari and see if I can find some of the things you are interested in getting.

I got them off of eBay but the seller got them from no longer has them. They are called “jewel” headlights, I’m sure if you type it up on eBay for the 8th gen accord you’ll be able to find a few sellers with these headlights
Do yourself a favor and take off the old steering wheel badge instead of putting it over it, mine fell off about 6 months after and it also looks way more flush to the steering wheel.
@@cv2rob i dont blame you it took me nearly an hour to get it off and i have pretty good tools but ended up mostly using my wifes graphic design gear (mainly the weeding tool to get it off) and cut my hand about 3 time with it so if you do end up doing it wear gloves 😭
You have a nice car and love the channel name. Haha. But if I may......that emblem on your steering wheel air bag is a shrapnel bomb waiting to go off. Seriously, when it does, your face or who ever is driving is fu*ked.
nah bro don't wanna risk cracking my oil pan or my transmission transfer case. I had it lower but i raised it about an inch because the roads where i live are terrible and i took a chunk out of the transmission case already.
@@cv2rob invest in a steel skid plate, around 200-300 bucks. or you can raise your trans/engine as well but that comes with some issues so do your research.
We got the same car it was my first car been having it for 2 years not my daily but I want keep it all I did to mys muffler delete and added air intake I want make it a sleeper what eles good to add to it to make a lil faster

its the j-pipe that causes the rasp not the hfpc. im also running 0 resonators so thats why it's raspy. just 2 mufflers thats it
2018 looking headlights haven't seen these in person yet, clever Chinesium😄 700 bucks damnnn
they look good, make the car look a lot more modern
Steering wheel logo looks like a replica of the one on 2002-2004 Ody 2002-2006 crv

gonna try to be more active 💪🏼
What size spacers you got on? Very clean look btw 👌

Nooo never had it come off
Got the same accord my boy

The led dome lights probably flicker when you close the door. The old style bulbs dim slowly but led can't do that.
Nah they didn’t flicker at all and they actually did dim lol
Just got mine what should I do first 😏🤔🤔
tint, coilovers, wheels or led lights

bro is this a v6 ? im new to cars
yes it is a 3.5 liter v6
Nice color

when did you get the rear spoiler wing?
