#8 of 153 Accord Accessories by diunei Dec 18, 2007 (11:08 am)
I wonder if anyone has installed the auto starter, fog light, back up sensor, and side molding from a Honda dealer? or if you have installed any of the above, how hard were they? do you recommand doing on yourself? also, please tell me if any of the above are useful at all. thanks for any help.

Replying to: diunei (Dec 18, 2007 11:08 am) I did consider the backup sensor and the rear-view camera. They both are as much involved and pretty much impact the same locations of the car. The installation instruction for both are available on-line. I decided not to do it myself after reading the instructions. It seemed like too much work for what it entails and involves putting holes in the car body. You really need to know what you are doing, have patience and have the right tools. The estimate to complete is about 2.5 to 3 hours for each. I opted to have it installed by the dealer. I paid $660 for the rear-view camera, installed.

Replying to: parviz (Dec 18, 2007 11:22 am) Thanks for the info, parviz. Since I am so bad at parallel parking, i am going to buy the back up camera. Replies to this message: parviz (Dec 18, 2007 1:44 pm)

Replying to: diunei (Dec 18, 2007 12:36 pm) Sure. I don't know which Accord trim you have (or considering), for the navi model, you can have both the camera and/or backup sensors. For all other trims backup sensor would be your only choice in helping with your parking!

Replying to: diunei (Dec 18, 2007 11:08 am) I installed the side moldings and its pretty easy if you follow the instructions they provide and use the supplied templates. I think I did both sides in an hour.

Replying to: mcpdjohn (Dec 18, 2007 9:54 pm) roger that. I was thinking about doing this by myself too. Honda charges $354 for parts and labor, while the moldings only cost $209. Has anyone installed the cargo hooks? How easy is that? do i need any special tools for this? I am also thinking of installing the fog lights myself.

Anyone know a fair price for this accessory- I'll be picking my car up in a week and am wondering what the going rate is - i know MSRP is 599 + install but i'm sure there is a lot of markup on these after market accessories. Thanks! Andy Replies to this message: blane (Dec 20, 2007 4:51 am) jmarr (Jan 03, 2008 9:55 am)

Replying to: mcpdjohn (Dec 18, 2007 9:54 pm) Hi Mcpdjohn: Smart guy. Where did you buy the 4 moldings? Price? Web? Your car's doors are now better protected from dents, dents, dents...!.

Replying to: viet (Dec 19, 2007 9:22 pm) IMO the 08 Accord looks better without the moldings (they take away from all the other lines of the car), and since they are so low on the door, they don't prevent dings. If you open a car door, it will hit the car next to you much higher than where the moldings are. Replies to this message: viet (Dec 19, 2007 10:20 pm)
