Default New 2012 EXL V6 Coupe!

Hi guys,

Just picked up a brand new 2012 EXL v6 coupe last week. Loving the car so far. I am very new to this, but this is the first car I have ever purchased so I wanna have some fun with it.

I had a few questions about some changes I could make to the car...

1) What options are there for headlight changes? Like I said I am new to this, I do not even know the difference in appearance, price, etc of the different types of headlights out there?

2) What options are there for interior illumination? My car currently has the one that Honda offers, but it is only footwell illumination and only in blue. Are there any options for cupholder, dash, etc lighting?

3) In general, what are the typical mods that people make to their Accords?

4) How do any of these mods affect the warranty? Is it on a case by case basis?

Sorry for the long post!

Thanks guys!

It's a great car. I just got a 2012 Accord LX sedan. The very first thing I would suggest is to install a Lower Grille to cover the gap in the bumper.
The AC condenser is prone to damage and is completely exposed. I got mine installed in the first week. I even got the dealer to pay for it

Here's a photo.
