I ordered a kit from Ebay that contains the proper LED's for the interior lights, license plate lights and trunk lights, 14.99 for all the bulbs in a pack, free shipping.
I also hit 41mpg today and I only have 271 miles :)
41mpg already? Very nice.

Please post some pics when you've installed the LEDs. Always love the look and feel of proper interior lights.

Today I let my boss take my Touring for a little drive. He was very impressed and likes it better than his 2015 Camaro!

Will do, I'll try to remember to post a link to ebay vendor. They have pics of the conversion. But I need to find the driving lamps

I got new tires today. The Firestone tires that came on my Touring were garbage. They hydroplaned all over the place. So no brainer they would also suck in snow. The only thing they had going for them was they were quiet.
With the new tires on, much better traction and it's still very quiet. They took my tires off and gave me 75 bucks each for them credit toward the new set. I was debating between 2 different models of Toyo, a Nexxen, made with Michelin and Mastercraft which is made by Cooper.

I went with Mastercraft tires, they are made by Cooper tires. 65 thousand mile warranty, which is pretty good for a low profile tire. They are the perfect blend of quiet ride, good handling and excellent traction. Nice open sidewalls so the water and or snow doesnt stay clogged in the middle treads. Town Fair Tire offers a 30 day tire test drive, so if I end up not liking them they will give me a credit towards a different set of tires. But so far I think they are excellent.

The tires are definitely one weak spot of the car.

What tires did you get? This wasn't through the dealership was it?

No, I went to a local chain called Town Fair Tire. I went with Mastercraft tires, they are made by Cooper. They are the perfect balance between quiet, handling and excellent traction. I have a 30 day free test drive to check them out. I just need to call the dealership and find out if this voids my tire warranty. The sidewalls on the Firestones that came on my car were closed, which means suck in snow and rain, but completely silent ride. The Mastercrafts I chose have a nice agressive tread and open side walls and they ride really nice and quiet. Very happy with them. And they handle well also.

Got 15% tint all around and a 12in Kenwood with a active line converter to tap of the rear speakers. Sounds like whole a different system now :)
What type and wattage amp are you using to power your kenwood?

Question on adding optional Honda accessories. I purchased my vehicle about a month ago and if I want to add illuminated door sills now - do you I just contact the dealership for a quote? Do Honda prices on the accessories include install or should I expect about a 50-100% mark-up for installation beyond the price of the component? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can buy a Honda accessory from any dealership / parts supplier. Then you can either install it yourself, pay a dealership to install it (at their listed hourly rate), or have another shop install it. Labor rates vary, but expect dealer service department rates to be among the highest. My dealership warranties OEM accessories they install even if the part was not purchased from them.
