7) Rear window tint: tint shop screwed up around the top dot matrix, came back to complain, and they refused to do anything saying it was "normal." Came back a month later and they were out of business. (not surprising) Other windows are still good though.

So is it normal or what?

Zero problems so far, but I have no mods, I'm only at 58K miles and I'm anal about maintenance. Since it's an automatic I don't bother driving it hard...and yeah, my stock Accord is boring as hell.

2 studs are gone in the front (left and right one on each side) and drums in the back are rusting to the point where its just gonna shatter with one hard hit... other than that, my car is perfect

Wow reading some of these makes me not hate my Accord so much, but I got a few problems.

-Alot of door dings (people are so inconsiderate)
-Paint on front bumper is chipped from 10 years of rocks flying, thankfully I have a bug deflector so my hood is ok.
-Rattle from passenger side when I hit bumps (sounds like a rock in my side skirt)
-Piston slap sounds like *** (have been ask if it is a diesel) but motor runs great.
-Little rip in leather seat
-Lost spring when washing cup holders, so I cant close the lid or it sits crooked
-Have to put the latch down by myself on my hood or it wont close
-Keyless entry doesnt work until I go to put my key in the key hole, I swear it does it to piss me off
-Passenger side power lock wasnt working, then started working and now my drivers side doesnt work half the time
-Starting to bubble around the edge of my spoiler
-Magnaflow mufflers scrape EVERYWHERE around my area, the Y-pipe just hangs way too low.
-10 year old tint needs replacing bad.
-Windows are scratched (dont use your windows in the winter when you have salt on them) and a small crack on windsheild we got treated right away.
-Clock light burnt out, cant see at night
-Passenger side seat heater light is burnt out (dont know why it bugs me)

Other then that, for 10 years old, it has been a good car. I am still on the original tranny at 205,000KM and it shifts smooth. J30 may not be a rocket, but I think it sounds cool!

-Clock light burnt out, cant see at night

That's an easy fix I did recently - $3 from dealer and about 15 mins. Search "clock bulb" and you should see a bunch of DIY threads. Take a small flathead and pop off the plastic cover. Swap the bulb and snap the cover back on.

So is it normal or what?

get a black vinyl sticker, and bring it to a tint place, have them cut the tint right @ the matrix, and put that stucker on the matrix(inside of course) from the outside u cant tell the difference... how the guy did mine

My tach doesn't work, I have a few suspension noises. Other then that, nothing wrong really.

As far as modifications - my retrofit bezels came detached from the projectors, my Car PC has some booting issues, my turbo timer stopped working, and my gauges have some of the lights shining through the back, lighting up half the turn signals, abs, etc.
