Default New mods for 2012?

So.... Whats on the list for next year?

1, increase cam timing to lower power band and maybe disable vvt for higher rpms

2, remove back seat and make a wooden bed for hauling.

3, wheel covers that are solid

4, 2nd phev kit for putting more power into the ima system

5, cutting of springs to further lower it and maybe sme ground effects.

6, Switch out the head lamps for aftermarket ones with angel eyes, leds, etc. I swear Ive seen similar looking fixtures on another model of Honda that will be a direct replacement.

7, remove oem mirrors for smaller ones

8, purchase or rent a hondata turner to further adjust timing of spark and valve.

9, remove worthless hd radio in favor of a CB radio.

10, install 48 volts of solar panels on rear for the phev kit

11, tint windows darker

the replacement of stock headlights with angel eye headlights is #1 on my wish list.

i saw an aftermarket set on a civic and they are beautiful i've never been so impressed with a set of aftermarket lights!

too bad non for the insight yet :/

I believe a certain model accord lamps are interchangeable, I just need to cruse the parking lot of my local Honda dealer, write down the info and look at the part sheet for the i2 and that said car to make sure it will match up.

very interesting ... if they are indeed interchangeable then I'll be the first in line to pick up an aftermarket set of angel eye headlights to swap once it warms up here.
