Been a minute, since I had an update on this car lol.
I thought the Accord has been pretty much the same, ever since I bought the CL a few years ago, but I guess there were a little of bit of things that were done to the car such as getting:
- DNA MOTORING headlights w/ built-in DRL + clear housings n reflectors
- INJEN polished short ram air intake
- JDM 10mm silver dress-up bolts n washers per engine bay
- PIAA G3 6200K LED low beams
- V-LED 6000K LED reverse lights
- V-LED 6000K LED vanity lights
- V-LED 6000K LED door courtesy lights
- V-LED 6000K LED license plate lights
- SYLVANIA ZEVO LED tail & brake lights
- KICKER 3 way rear speakers
- SUNTEK 20% visibility rear window film
- OEM+ 1G TSX chrome door locks
- OEM optional black floor mats
- Custom CF center console armrest overlay
- 6GA vehicle-specific phone holder
- Anti-rattle rear license plate silicone mat
- "6TH-GEN" license plates
- 6th generation font "Accord" license plate fillers
I wish I could update these on my OP, but I can't lol. It's because my OP has more than 25000 characters, and I won't be able to edit the OP, unless I reduce the number of my texts. And, photos as well because we can only attach five photos per post.
Can we please ease up on those two parameters??
Anyways, my newest updates would be two things:
1) I got to fix the driver's side broken side mirror panel! Once, the mirror was adjusted to view more side angle, creating a huge gap by the housing frame, sticking out. When I was pressure washing the car at the public car wash place, the hose of the gun hanging from the ceiling caught the mirror panel, and it messed up the assembly.. That was way back in '13, and it has been loose since then. It was so annoying, because the view was always vibrating. I added some glue with the long ass cotton swab to reach into the spot, but it only held up ok at a certain angle, and it was always loose and rattling.. But one day, I was looking at this POS mirror, and I thought.. "Maybe it's like a sphere vs. a catcher bracket type of a joint assembly to get the multi angle adjustment.. What if I just push the sucker all the way in?" I put the full force into it, hoping it won't break...
2) Swapped out some interior parts from the CL.
As far as the interior parts from the CL go, I'm gonna pass the dome light, because the CL's looks kind of trashed by the previous owners lol. I'll most likely swap out the inner window chrome bottom rail trim pieces. Honestly, I am not a big fan of chrome rails because they glare so much, but since my shift knob and door locks are in chrome right now, I think they would integrate the overall chrome look in the car, if I swap them out. But I'll most likely swap out the seat belts' bottom metal anchors. Also, a buddy of mine told me that the interior molding around the sunroof hatch (shown in the pic) can also be swapped over. I might do that as well.
Thanks for checking on a little bit of something about this coupe.
I'll try to add more photos of the aforementioned updates!

IT POPPED RIGHT BACK IN!! It's fixed! 
This would've been one of the most satisfying restorations I've ever had on this car. I was soooo relieved after 12 years of irritation!!!2) Swapped out some interior parts from the CL.
