That's good to hear 03accordcoupe. I agree with you on the graphite pearl. I really like that color and it would be my first choice but I don't think it is available with the 6 speed trans. WHY I haven't a clue. Apparantly the 6 speed coupe is only available in Taffeta White, Nighthawk black pearl, San Marino red, Satin Silver metallic, or Saphhire (sp!!) Blue Pearl (or metallic, can't remember)
