Hi friends, I just made up my mind to order the OEM body kit a moment ago, then I suddenly came across the JDM Euro kit at http://www.boomplustoys.net/jdm_accord.shtml and it looks hot too. It's so hard to make a decision. Which one do you guys think is better looking?... help...

IMO, Euro-R kit only looks good on ABP cuz ABP is official color for Honda Accord EuroR, and the kit seems to fit just perfectly on it:




Other colors should use OEM kit for best look.

official what?

Although I really don't know where the 'official' came from, I would think Milano Red would be more 'official', if there was such a thing, only because it's what Honda usually advertise with at the very beginning of the CL7 back in 2003.

...but I think these looks great, just some examples:












personally I prefer the EuroR and it looks much better imo, flows better with the car's lines, but I ordered the OEM kit due the better price and availability.

sorry if i use the wrong word... but from what i know... the ABP is designed specifically for EuroR in Japan, while the white is for TypeR.

and i have to say IMO again, PWP with OEM kit looks much better than EuroR kit. but i guess everyone has his own taste, same to CG.

but CG looks ok with euro kit, just PWP... i can't stand the euro kit look.

The white euro kits with silver 5 spoke wheel looks badass!!!!!!!

if there was an official color for Honda, it would be formula white on all Type Rs

hmm i didn't make anything up.. i read everything off the web, mostly honda.co.jp

http://www.honda.co.jp/factbook/auto...200210/14.html

one of the paragraphs say "Arctic Blue Pearl and Milano Red are official/exclusive colors for Accord Euro R, while white, silver are common among the Accord and Accord Wagon. "

but personally don't like the red look of EuroR, i really like the blue tho.

same for Type R, i read it off somewhere that site... but forgot where...

SSM looks great with EuroR kit too - AndyNoLife's car looks great.

Championship White is designated as the private color for HONDA Type R in 1965, as a proof of the racing spirit of the white Honda F-1 which won for the first time in 1965.

Yep, that we know, championship white was always a symbol of Honda's racing heritage, first use of this symbol was on the 90/91? NSX-R

lol....I know... there's only so much that these free translators can do, but it's not bad for getting the idea. For the most part it's pretty accurate, except for grammar.

It's the altavista translator, btw.
