The fronts look AWFUL in comparison to those rears hehe. You should re-barrel the fronts too..totally funky looking. Look at how flush the rears are but how sunk the front is

I can kinda agree. The rear is just super aggressive huge lip and cambered out, and the front is completely the opposite.

Thank you guys for the constructive criticism, I am working on getting the fronts done, custom fabricating something for the brembos, trunk enclosure and some other things simultaneously, and it's my daily so I'm kinda taking it one weekend or when I get a chance, thank you again hopefully I can finish soon.

They have the honda grille for the 11'-12' but just like the acura grille of that same year it's more "refined"

Sorry, Work VS-XX wheels front 18x7.5+45, rear 18x9.5+16 working on brakes the guys doing it are really backed up and doing bigger more complex projects (plus still waiting on a 10mm hub centric spacer to make it all work) after that I'll see where I'm at and what will fit so I can re-barrel front wheels.

Last time I checked there were no accord coupes in Japan. My grill is direct bolt on since bumper headlights are the same part number.
LMK if you really want I have a friend stationed in Japan and goes to the dealership very often for me.

Ahh I see. That's awesome. Did not know that your grille is directly from Japan. Makes it that much cooler . That would be awesome! I would love a Honda grille like the picture above for my '12 TSX. Of course if the price fits within my budget lol. Thanks shady!

Hahaha good for them, I don't know who he got his from, I got mine from a friend no longer stationed in Japan. BTW I think the Euro an the JDM are exactly alike...

I wish, if you look at the pics from a couple months or less I've swapped out the lips in front, put 2.5" lips on there. New wheel specs in front are 18x8.5+31 (rear still 18x9.5+16) also putting, knock on wood, 10mm hub centric spacers in front (well see what happens since its already rubbing in certain type of turns, had to raise the front) and finally putting the brembo TL type S big brakes on.

Needs moar lipz. Still looks sick though. The big brake kit will make up for it.
