Fiamm FTW? How many did it?

How many of us went with the Fiamm El Grandes?
That thread of mine keeps getting bumped up, and someone mentioned it on the "what did you do" thread, so I was wondering how many went the same way I did.

I guess we can make it a poll? Let the software keep a count.

In the event people who see this post/poll want to know what it is we're talking about:
Here's my video of the Fiamms on YouTube:Short Clip of the Fiamm ElGrandes
Here's my video of the stock horn going Meep: MEEP.

TKZ12NO1 provided me with excellent instructions replete with all the necessary wiring, fuse and other items other than the horn. Salamat! I love honking my horn now, lol. Such a different response from other motorists who scoffed and laughed at my stock meep-meep horn.

My parents who I persuaded to swap their 07 Fit for an 09, love my horn too and want me to install it for them. Too bad they're 3,000 miles away.

Best $20 or under mod for this car!

I followed CBX's install to the letter.

1 hour install b/c I was also cleaning it up a bit. Could have been faster.

haha i need to put a new horn in my car, since it has been in the teens and single digits my horn has been cutting out and sounding really funny. if you lay on the stock horn in my car for a little while it changes sound... it's pretty retarded.. i wonder if any one else has had this problem?

I changed mine but with a stock Accord horn. Easier mod sounds similar to the FIAMM EL GRANDE horn. Just plug and play with the OEM 09 Accord low tone horn.




I stand corrected 09 Accord horn sounds just like your Fiamm El Grande clip.

You need an Accord horn option on this poll.

But those installing the Accord horn are only installing the single low note horn, which sounds similar to the GD horn. This may be better and fine, but I would like to see people install the dual Accord horn, which sounds identical to the Fiamms.

All Accords since at least '82 have dual horns. Here's an 07's horn, which I think is identical to the 08's:
