My wife got me some goodies for Christmas, which I just installed yesterday on my day off. Here is what I got:

* Rear view mirrow - Very easy to install
* Rear Fabric Panel - Not sure if I installed it correctly, since I couldn't find the directions
* Switch Panel - Took some time, but it's installed.
* Windshield wiper

It took me about 5 hours to install the switch panel/fuse box + the windshield wiper kit. I had to use the instuctions that I found on this site, as I wasn't able to download the one from Honda's site. Also, I couldn't find the templates for drilling the holes, so I had to use the switch panel & fuse box as the template. There were a few other things that made it difficult. Connecting to the battery terminals was odd. This has been documented in another post. Also, fitting all the wires & their connectors through the grommet into the fuse box, and getting the fuse box lid to go on.

I'll post some pics as soon as I can figure out how.

Nice. Pictures worked.
You did a good job keeping the acc box clean. I figured there would be wires everywhere.

Thanks. All the wiring gets routed out the back of that fuse box through a grommet. From there, everything is behind the scenes.

Hope the aftermarket considers this when making under hood storage boxes. The one I made for mine shouldn't interfere from the looks of these pics.

Ya, I'm sure they will.
My guess it will take up most part of the center and not the sides where the box is.

Well, I did not like the aux box because it was limited in what you could use it with. but I do like the clean looks of it now that I have seen one.
Thanks for the pics. I may order it after all.
