So I am posting this as hoping to get a surprise for my girlfriend...

I have an 07 Accord that can pop the trunk with the remote. She has an 08 base model civic. Is there any remote and key I can get that will have a trunk pop button that will work? If there is a switchblade key that would be cool too. Thanks.

hmm this is a tough one. you may want to ask on 8thcivic.com too. i know you need a power latch that fits and also a new remote (aftermarket alarm remote works best if she had an alarm already). The 01 accord power trunk latch fits the 01-05 civics perfectly, but im not sure on the 06+ models. it may or may not fit right. then you have to figure out the remote to work it.

hmm how hard is it to install and program the 01 accord latch into our civic?

well install is easy, it just bolts up. i couldnt figure the wiring so i just had circuit city (r.i.p.) do mine for $40. they wired it to my spare alarm channel on my viper remote so when i press lock and unlock buttons together, trunk pops.

very nice, they did it for $40? did they install the alarm themselves when you bought it also?
or you just brought it to them and they said they would do it?
my remote has a trunk-pop button =)

had my alarm installed at a different circuit city when i first got the car few years back. the second time all they did was install the wiring for the popper.
