Unfortunately not ... it's just the stock "Accord" and "EX" silver/black one in the box frame. My thought was to remove the "Accord" and replace the "EX" with a 2001-2005 version which doesn't have the frame around it.

Last Sunday I managed to change out the vacuum actuator on the rear engine mount. I had the problem with loud engine vibration resonating through the cabin of the car during low idle. After replacing the front mount (which had torn rubber) a few weeks ago, I thought the rear had torn as well. Turns out of all things it was the metal linkage on the actuator that had broken, rendering the the multi-stage damping of the mount inoperable.
It was an extremely tight fit from the rear opening, and took me a couple of hours with long pliers, screwdrivers and various rods to push with ... but I managed to change out the actuator without removing the mount. Here's a pic of what I removed.
Fyi the replacement actuator I found off a cheap used mount -- I do not know where you could find these new. There is a NOK logo on the plastic casing, but I have not found this piece or the mount sold anywhere under the NOK brand name.

Hello yall, I just stumbled across this thread, I could keep you reading for hours, but I will give you the short version. Recently I pulled the transmission, as it was slipping in d3 and d4, I grabbed one from a u pull it yard close by. Installed it and no reverse, went forward , no reverse, while I was there I swapped in a new pass. side axle. Drove it for 3 weeks till we could get a appointment with Mr. Transmission in Tyler Tx. Now $2400.00 later it shifts great 
I also swapped in a complete interior from a donor 97 accord, IT WAS NOT FUN. However it looks great and the old carpet was junk, mom would be proud.
Next up on the list is to replace the 400 dollar phone I stepped on while removing the rear seat, dont ask, lol. Future plans call for some acura rims or later accord ones, but the tires are brand new so it will be sometime before that, a exhaust upgrade to get rid of the flowmaster 40, I am looking at a borla or something similar.

2000 Honda accord cluster lights on. cant figure it out.
I have a 2000 Honda accord with 258000 miles. Over the last week all my cluster lights have popped on and off. door ajar lights, brake light, battery light as well. I have replaced the altenator, the battery , a new serp belt just cause I had the alt out and a new ignition switch. For the love of god I just cannot figure it out. if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Be sure to double check the battery connections - both ends of both cables. You want to be sure they are clean and tight.
