2017 Honda Accord Sport Sedan, Part 1 - review UPGRADES done 2018 USA

[@nasfarato]

Very informative and relevant information. Thank you so very much . Looks great too. SIMPLE, Subtle AND Elegant. As my father always said, "Simplicity is Beauty".

[@rubenfabela9285]

I have the touring V6 and I love it. It’s auto but it hauls ass. A manual woulda been sick but nice car bro 👍🏾 Love how refined and luxurious these look. Way better looking then the 18-19’s

[@jonmcclane7433]

I think the Gen 9 Accords are the nicest looking Accords

[@kekojones8431]

I’m upset that I didn’t get it Manual overall I love this trim

[@TahoeMacedon]

hey never say never :)

[@fortis619]

People hate on those dash mats but in SoCal where the temp can reach 120 outside and 150+ inside a car I’m sure it helps keep the dash from melting like in my Camry , yes the front dash on my 2017 Camry has a dash dent from the sun

[@Hakuna_My_Tatas]

Love the mods, its very clean simple and OEM+. I just sold my 99 Prelude and looking for a 9th gen Accord Sport but it is so hard finding one in manual within my price range! Lol

[@Imgrldsalvador]

I want to call that Honda Accord “2017 Honda Accord Sport Carbon Edition”

[@TonyAlvar3z]

Bro I legit did not know they had manual on a 4 door sedan. I shoulda done my research before getting a Sport Special Edition.

I also did the switch back lights in the front. Really looks cool at night

[@alimasoumi6910]

hi, how did you install the steering wheel trim and where is it from?

[@masteru7104]

Why would you pay 80-90 dollars for an emblem? Seems kinda wasteful to me

[@TahoeMacedon]

it is expensive but its all about the demand and the availability. this genuine rear emblem had a honda price od around $40. it took me weeks to get one at a decent price. there are only 3 or less resellers that sell them now for $80 each or up and honda info says discontinued. I got mine for $60(rear) and $25 for both sides. u can also get non genuine simular for $15-20 or a stickler for less. its all about the quality. if u get the HFP full package u get them included in the package. nowadays honda won't give them to u unless u get the complete HFP package for around 3-4 grand. cheers

Thinking about to get sport 2017 20k and 2016 ex 19k with sunroof but the sport is auto 😑 wanna get manual can't find any right now . Which one is better for daily 🤔

[@TahoeMacedon]

everyone has different circumstances. I live in a small city and not even noticing or bothered when using the manual transmission. at one point I was thinking of getting manual trans EX-L trim or something like that and to add some of the parts that the Sport trim has. I dont need sunroof , touchscreen or any other extra bs. some people enjoy using the manual shifter and some consider it annoying. cheers

[@SHERPAMANDU]

Awesome cool like it

[@kalanoseternal3063]

so you like the front bumper spoilers but not the rear ones?

[@TahoeMacedon]

the front underbody spoilers make the car look better and more complete. I couldn't find the rear for a decent price up until the 4th video. and I had to remove the rear mud flaps/mud guards in order to install the rear underbody spoilers. I would of left the car as it is with the rear mud flaps on but got a great deal on the rear underbody and had to go for it. cheers

[@cbijames7]

Did u upgrade the lights to LEDs I did my lx and works great. Turn signals leds as well

[@TahoeMacedon]

no reason for that. the stock are bright enough for me. some leds also require resistors and the good ones are pricey. cheers

[@cbijames7]

@@TahoeMacedon yes true. But the ones I have r plug and play they have built in fans and the resistor is already wired in. If u ever think about putting them in. H11 is the bulb #. Have a great day.

Does Honda you give whatever you want they take it keep it up 👍

[@erickar2634]

Why does the sport models not come with push start button?😢 im torn apart I originally want the sport but I don’t like that it does have push button start or moon roof.

[@TahoeMacedon]

probably the main reason is that this trim is for people who prefer simplicity. using a key to start the car is more classic way to do it, cheaper too and a sunroof will increase the car weight and lower the rigidity. the more cuts in the body equals to higher vehicle “twists” on uneven road surfaces or when cornering. the more sensors there are and more vehicle is assisting with the drive, the lower driving experience is

[@twill1007]

What is the Honda Factory Performance suspension package and did it make the ride a whole lot smoother. How much was the package.

[@TahoeMacedon]

HFP package is only for the accord coupe v6 but i was able to get it installed on my sedan. the HFP package was around $4300 before installation costs. as i remember the HFP package had some interior upgrades such as illumination, hfp floor mats, side, front and rear spoiler, hfp wheels, hfp badges, HFP suspension...the HFP suspension(adaptive damper system) helps with the handling and what i was told the car is slighly lowered. the price as i recall was between 1200 - $1700 installed. some honda models such as the civic si with HFP also gets a reprogrammed ecu or something like that. cheers

[@OEFrank]

zz mkd can you say how your where able to get suspension installed even though they only have it for coupe? I want it sooo bad.

[@TahoeMacedon]

@@OEFrank u gotta ask the nearest Honda dealership, not all have the hfp package available or are willing to do the work on the sedan. cheers

[@joeljaipersaud]

000 1310017 just get coils or air suspension better ride than hfp

[@SalmanKhan-qj3rh]

Where did u got the red cover for hazard light?

[@TahoeMacedon]

ebay. asian version of the accord comes with illuminated red hazard button. i paid $50 for genuine honda and it was easy to install

[@youngthieff]

The only actual upgrade is the HFP kit. I was expecting to see actual modifications or something.

[@TahoeMacedon]

actually the hfp kit is not a real upgrade. the accord sport has the side skirt from factory and only the front and the rear underbody were installed. The accord sport has most of the hfp things factory. suspension was done but its honda oem. i plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time. the accord is not a racer style vehicle to me. its a family smooth sleek sedan. speed and durability don't go together. the things i changed have practical purpose, not just visual. there is no reason for me to waste $$ on wheels, turbo kits, intakes, loud exhaust, tinting windshields, upgrades typical for the teenagers or lowering it so it can get damaged. i am not that old but i prefer durability/longevity over showing off and than moving on the next vehicle. wheels, oh man i see so many people keep buying wheels and changing them like they dont know what they want. the 19" that came with the vehicle will look good a decade from now because they follow the vehicle lines and shape. i prefer the vehicle not to stand out but to be more humble and in the back. also i am past the teenager hormones when vehicles are roaring for attention. cheers

[@tatomillz]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Harvz78]

Any new upgrade have you done lately since the video?

[@TahoeMacedon]

the in channel window visors from weather tech do look good but when the glass touches them on the top I keep hearing this scratching annoying sound. I already ordered the genuine honda and should get them soon. otherwise nothing major except that I added a dash cam looking back and did the easy wiring. there are 2 channel dash cams on the market but the prices are just ridiculous. I got rove 4k dash cam for $100 and the "old" full hd faced it to record the rear and got the same function like the 2 channel but half price. thats basically it. cheers

[@TahoeMacedon]

Change the headlights to all led

[@zadeanrobinson1608]

Do you think a shark fin antenna would work well on this car? I have the same vehicle in orchid white pearl and I wrapped my roof black. I wanted to add a black shark fin antenna but I sure if it’s a good idea or not.

[@TahoeMacedon]

as far as I know there are few different honda shark antennas and other that can be found on ebay etc... the honda accord touring trim and a different type on the hybrid. I see so many car makers add shark antennas and doesn't seem anything special to me. I like my accord the way it is, smooth. cheers

[@zadeanrobinson1608]

zz mkd thanks. I may not add it anyway but thanks.

[@4k_outdoors792]

Dry carbon fiber looks much better than that shiny trims, ofcourse that's my personal honest opinion.

[@TahoeMacedon]

yup everyone has his own taste. the main reason behind this shiny look is that the resin/glossy finish protects the material and in this case the real carbon fiber from the sun/uv rays

[@emanuelemanuel3811]

Change those headlights to LED plz

[@wali-wali]

Where and how much did u get the mud guards

[@TahoeMacedon]

just google "2017 accord sport mud flaps" . genuine honda are around $60-$80 and u can get them from so many places. I got mine from collegehillshonda, part number 08P00-T2F-100A

[@jeremiahpagany2922]

I have an Honda Accord sport 2017 could I upgrade it to the factory performance still?

[@TahoeMacedon]

HFP package is made available for the coupe only. You can ask your nearest Honda dealership and see what they will say. not all places will be willing to do the HFP installation job on the accord sedan. the full HFP package is $3000-4000 and installation might be around $1000-2000. it will also depend of the trim level of your vehicle. the sport trim already has some of the HFP elements. cheers and happy holidays

[@craignaggie4864]

Can u give me the exact carbon fiber u use on the carid

[@TahoeMacedon]

if you are referring to the finish than its the Real Carbon Fiber. manufacturer is Remin. after selecting the accord trim in the product options I would still look at the scheme of the FULL kit of real carbon fiber pieces from Remin and write down each piece number u need couse you may order the full kit for lets say the sport trim and in that full kit there are pieces u wont need or wont fit. u will notice the double pieces in the full kit for different trims even after choosing sport. there is also an option for exterior kit and also to choose if your vehicle has a display (navigation) or not and than contact carid with the quote and u will get a price. cheers

not a fan of touch screen bs and other unnecessary technology including the driver assist for people that are lazy or cant drive. you may install a touch screen unit at any time with a lot of options including digital tv etc but I purchased the manual accord for real driving experience and not touchscreens. nowadays all car manufacturers just add bigger and more touchscreens so they can easily fool the consumers. any touchscreen system outdates very fast so having a phone on a phone holder in the vehicle is more than enough. and I always prefer physical buttons than the over sensitive touch screen technology. cheers

@@TahoeMacedon If it's real then it's cool ! If it was fake then it was too much. You understand my point. :)

[@TahoeMacedon]

@@steeventide parts made out of real carbon fiber by using molds can be very expensive and in this case unnecessary. as an example a piece of 6x4 inches made out of multiple layers of carbon fiber and than covered with a resin goes for $100 and up. I got the piece for 2013 civic manual trans shift bezel and it was around $150. the dash kit on the accord is real carbon fiber sheet (one sheet only, not multiple layers) covered with a shiny resin, cut by laser measurements and double sided 3m tape on the one side. the difference compared to a wrap or something else is very obvious. I got around 40pcs and if all these were direct replacement parts made out of carbon fiber the bill would of been at least 10 times. cheers

[@joeljaipersaud]

zz mkd look up motoshield pro I believe max is $100 for pre cut ceramic tint any shade for all windows I did my tint myself IG: Joelbuilt

[@TahoeMacedon]

@@joeljaipersaud I did. I wanted to get the pre cut but the way those pieces are cut is not the way a tint shop does it, especially the edges. also the tint shop where I went uses guaranteed high quality 3M ceramic tint and first they had to remove the cheap (purple) film that was on the car from the previous owner and the glue too and than reapply the ceramic. it also comes with a lifetime warranty, great quality job and no bubbles at all. I did few vehicles at the same shop and it definitely worth it. doing it on your own with pre cut will save u atleast 50% but without any experience a person may mess up or some imperfections may appear later. cheers

[@TahoeMacedon]

buying a canadian version is not that hard as u think. but the asian version has more add-ons. why I didn't go for the Canadian version is because that version is more conservative with things on the car that I dont need or probably never use and the Canadian version is taking a direction that I would call soft sport. the canadian version goes towards the exl trim here in the US and I dont like the bs things honda has on the exl trim. simplicity is better for me. if you think that the dash cover, additional usb charging ports, tinted windows, dash kit, edge guards, window visors, tweeters and other stuff are useless than let be it, maybe u feel better now. cheers
