Not really a mod but I did the keyless entry for the Base. Then the Cargo Tray. Next is the Accord horn.

Iridium Denso plugs (not standard on EU i-DSi) and strut front bar.

Is the Accord horn swappable without any mod? Year?

TIA,

The day I drove it off the dealer's lot: black plastic protective mesh behind the lower grill, to protect the A/C condenser. Less than $10 and an hour's work to save many hundreds in repair costs from a flying rock.

I have both plastic mesh and steel hardware cloth with the same pattern dimensions.... As many times as I have had the front bumper off and easy access to install the stuff I get everything put back together forgetting to do it..... Maybe next time I will install both.

Some people are hopeless. No need to pull the bumper; just the black plastic above the radiator. The smallest possible black zipties are almost invisible; I used more than a dozen of them, securing the mesh to every possible attachment point. That was almost a year ago, and everything is holding up just fine.

Yep...I put mine on week 1 along with fog protection vinyl. It was really easy--I ordered the stuff from a thread someone posted on here and used black zip ties as well. Can't even tell it's there.

Yeah some people are hopeless.... Almost 4 years of driving a Fit that at this time has 75% more power than it came with and no rocks have damaged my A/C condenser..... I have a physical disability that doesn't allow me to position myself to install the stuff that way without being in pain..... Like I said, I had easy access with the bumper removed.....Btrthnezr3, you know that about me.

I always tint my cars first

My first mod is always tinting. Second I work on rims and tires. Then move to tail lights then headlights. For the most part I work on cosmetics. Granted I am not a die hard tuner. But I enjoy changing the look with some well planned out bolt on equipment. I prefer to maintain a well styled car and will hold out to make sure I get the parts that I want and not just settle for what some supplier has on a shelf.

My first upgrade(s) were better headlights, fog lights, and LEDs for those little parking lights above the headlights. I also tilted the headlights up about 6inches, enough to increase visibility but not blind on coming traffic.

I urinated on the rear left tire. (To mark it as mine)
Then I covered it in leaves.

Does that count?
