Is that a red V6 badge on the back? If so you are now required to 6spd manual swap! jk I kind of liked the gold badges on the car with it being black. I don't see a gold Accord badge from the before pics, I imagine that is hard to find now.
Red badge carried over from the coupe. I think I got it sometime after visiting Richies So the coupe came with gold badges but I replaced them with silver ones because they were pitted and worn. The only badge the sedan had was the ACCORD badge on the back and it was in the wrong place. The gold badges are either SUPER expensive or really hard to get. Plus, while the gold is kind of classy, the silver sorta updates the look.
Just went through this thread thoroughly, and I'm so glad to see you up here! Seems like the car is pretty solid w/o big headaches to restore. Have fun swapping / resto-modin' the whip!
Sirius radio in, quit working, replaced, and installed again, lol. I had been running a cassette to audio adapter to my phone, which I may still but the cassette keeps stopping and like resetting. Gonna look into a new adapter and hope it’s not the radio. Rear visor on and also got AVS in-channel visors Also maybe thinking about trying to get an 0102 ex v6 coupe speedo in my sedan. There’s a seller on eBay will set them, I just need to decide if I want to spend the money on it or not. STILL can’t find grey coupe leather headrests and STILL can’t find a decent set of TL wheels locally. Other than a new windshield, replacing the PS pump, and plugs/coils those are the only things really on my list. Still need to figure out the passenger seat and clean the seatbelt buckles (hopefully to get rid of the SRS light) but the car functions fine in the mean time.
I used the cassette tape to ipod/phone method for a long time, sound was a lot better than an FM transmitter haha. Not to mention more reliable. Which rear visor did you go with?
I tried one of those FM transmitters once and it was trash. I don’t particularly enjoy having to plug my phone whenever I wanna listen to MY music (which is why I take the GF’s car a lot …) but it works and as you mentioned, the sound quality is still pretty decent. Pic for reference on the window spoiler. Not *quite* the one I wanted but it works. The more and more I look at it, I’m pretty sure the previous owner replaced the hood with a coupe hood. It fits but it overhangs how I imagine the coupe hood does on a sedan. Still on the lookout for a black coupe bumper anyway. Also debating LED tails. They’re still red/clear but they’re inverted from the 0102 tails and I like the white in the bottom. Again, just something I have to decide if I want to spend the money on.
