Thanks Black Chrome,

Appreciate your opinions...I think I will definitely keep the OEM kit, but this rear wing annoys me sometimes; it's like, its just not high---or tall, as you put it -- enough. Let me give you a for-instance; when I see Eclipses or 3000GT's rollin' by with those big, turbo off-the-trunk "hoop" spoilers, I think...daaaaaamn....now THAT car is getting noticed...the spoiler stands up and in the air off the trunk---like I think a spoiler should...NOT in a ricey way, but just enough to make a visual impact...I feel like, with the Accord's wing, there's just no impact being made---so what, they supply an LED brake light in the wing? So what? Still, the height is better than say a Solara's wing, or the one they put on the Monte Carlo or Grand Prix...those "decklid" wings that just sit there, no raise at all...

I just feel like spoilers, to be impactful as spoilers, should raise off the tail a bit more, thats all....I didnt say that I didnt DESPISE those kids running around in 92 Maximas with wings so high you could hang your laundry on them---didnt say that, but....for OEM, I was expecting a bit more from Honda for their sports coupes. But to go with an aftermarket wing now, after I paid for the OEM stuff, I dont know....

You know, its funny what you say about the gold emblems being for so-called "old people" and luxury cars -- when I was debating whether or not to get the wood trim around the dash and audio controls that Honda offered for the Accord Coupe, another car junkie friend (who has since moved to Florida and I dont see anymore) told me the exact same thing about getting wood on the dash---he said, "this is supposed to be somewhat of a sports coupe that you are buying, so why would you put wood around the controls? Do Corvettes have wood? Sports cars dont have wood on their dashes! Leave it without the wood; it'll look sportier inside..." and I have to agree that it does look much sportier without the added wood trim...but with the gold emblems, I just dont know, to be honest...I dont think they really "dont belong" on a coupe---they sharpen up the badging on the car, so it doesnt look so "everyday" and "generic" I think...I mean, you see EVERYONE driving around with Camrys, Maximas and Accords with the standard chrome badges...so I just think the gold makes the "attitude" of a certain car model stand out---see what I mean? In other words, the "Accord" and "V6" symbols are more in-your-face when looking at the trunk...make any sense?

As for Porsches or Ferraris with gold, you are right----thats a bit extreme, though...I mean, these Accords are still not TRUE out of the barn sports cars like those...those cars dont have any chrome anywhere on them, let alone gold!
