Really appreciate the replies and positive comments! I'm glad ya'll like it!
This is actually my second 03' Accord Coupe EX-V6. The first one in graphite pearl was rear-ended by a 72yr old man back in late January. I was able to trade in that car for the current one. I really like the graphite pearl but when I saw a Nighthawk Black Pearl 6spd Coupe on the showroom floor I knew I had to get a black Accord Coupe. The car I have is a 5spd auto. I do not regret getting the 5spd Auto over the 6spd. This car is my daily driver and I need something that does not require a lot of effort to drive. Just put it in "D" and go!

It's a 5spd Auto. I should have taken some pics of the engine bay. There are some differences between the auto V6 and the 6spd V6 engines. Not a whole lot tho.

I have no problems w/ rubbing and a camber kit is definitely needed especially for the rear. I'll be getting a camber kit installed this coming Tuesday. Total cost is about $600. If your interested in getting a set of Ground-Control sleeve coilovers just go to www.ground-control.com and get their number and give 'em a call. The coilovers are different for the V6 and Inline4 Accord models so be sure to mention you need the correct set! It's about $411 shipped and YES you can install these on your factory shocks/struts. Just be sure to get a set of aftermarket shocks/struts when they do become available. So far there's been several 7th Gen. Coupe owners who have GC and yet to experience any blowouts or problems.

I'm working on it.
The DIY projects will probably be done a later time.

I was told the 7th Gen. Coupes looked like the Mercury Cougar when not lowered and w/out rims. It surely doesn't look like one now! Trust me, this car does not resemble anything close to a domestic now! BTW, this Accord V6 Coupe can blast both those cars without breaking a sweat.
