Podcast Episode #123 - 8th Gen Accord Illuminated Door Sill Garnish

The accessory is set up for right hand drive vehicles, but thanks to the extra slack in the harness you can easily reverse the garnish pieces for left hand drive use without the need for modifications.

Podcast Episode #112 - 8th Generation Civic Sedan - Si Grille Upgrade

noreply@blogger.com (College Hills Honda) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:55:12 -0500

This mod has been out there for a while now but we keep getting requests for an install podcast. So, Kel and I took the time to experiment and here is the result. Remove the lame chrome grille from the non-Si sedans and replace it with the painted Si version. Then, based on personal preference there are a couple of options on what to do with the emblem tab that comes on the new grille base. We opted to chop it off for the video.

Viewer Questions

1. I would like to order a few items for my Honda Fit. Can I get additional discounts for multiple items?
2. On February 4th I found information on your site about Honda Care Warranties. When I looked to day though the information was gone. What happened?
3. I'm interested in the keyless entry kit for the Honda Fit. I have a base model with manual locks (Canada). Will this kit work with my car?
4. Does the EX-L V6 have a cover that goes underneath the dash on the driver's side? If so will this fit in my 4cyl?
5. I bought a 2008 Fit Sport and I'm looking for a roof rack. Do you have anything you would suggest?
6. I would like to put a full size spare on my Pilot. What do you have?
7. My wife love our CR-V except the step in height. We would like to lower the vehicle slightly. Does Honda offer anything like that or is there anything you would recommend?
8. I found an article on your web site about PAX tire chains. Do the new chains replace the ones listed in that article?
9. I have a 2008 Accord EX-L NAVI. I'm interested in the HomeLink module but in watching the video and looking at the picture on your website my unit looks different. Will this affect the microphone for the NAVI and Active Noise Control?
10. When will you have a deck lid spoiler available for the 8th generation Accord coupe?
11. Have you considered selling the OEM Pet Barrier from Australia for the CR-V?
12. On the HandsFreeLink, when a call comes in does the audio system mute?

Podcast Episode #109 - Burn Baby Burn

noreply@blogger.com (College Hills Honda) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:04:01 -0500

We had a little underbody spoiler special on 8thCivic.com recently. I made a post in the forums threatening that if the items did not sell at the prices offered we would burn them. We are not bluffing! As an added bonus Kel demonstrates how to delicately handle oversized boxes.
