Does anybody know?
Does anybody know what the back part of the 1st generation INSPIRE look like? Anybody have a pic of it? I just want to know where they placed the "INSPIRE" emblem on the car.

I know that in Japan:
there is Honda Vigor -> (same as US equivalent but the front lights are different: almost like the legend lights but much BETTER)
there is Honda Inspire -> (same body as the Vigor and just like the vigor, it has the different lights in front, but the tail is totally different -> the tail almost looks like an accords! the car is like a cross between a vigor and accord)
....and then there is our cars(first gen TLs) and yes, they still call our cars Honda Inspire over there! so in japan our cars are the second generation Inpire!
if you search 95,96,97,or 98 honda inspire on the net.....you'll see our cars with a Honda emblem and factory side markers!! cool huh? oh and on the trunk you'll see honda where acura supposed to be, above the key hole on the trunk...that's where they put the "inspire" emblem <- kinda looks ugly there though, and of course the inspire tails!
check out a the back of a honda inspire (first gen):

here's a link to a japanese dealer: http://www.kadoco.co.jp/sample_bid/data/honda.htm
if you scroll down, you'll see honda inpsire and be sure to scroll to your left to see the year....then there's F/R/I -> click on to the the front/rear/interior of the car..the pics kinda suck but i'm kinda running a little late. you have to search for a long time! it took me a long time to get a good pic of our car in japan.

Damn ACURASNAKE! You're the sh*t man!! Where'd you get these INSPIRE pics from?! I've been searching all over the net for a back view of the 1st gen. TL!! Oh and by the way, none of those yahoo links work but thanks though....at least i can see 2 of those pics you posted (the front and back view of the silver TL) So now, all i need to get is INSPIRE tail lights, INSPIRE emblem, and of course...the body kit! After that, i think im retiring lol.. Well whenever that japanese dude replies, Post up a topic and we'll see whose all interested in the kit for the 1st gen TL's. Thanks acurasnake...you da man!
