Im currently in Pakistan for a few weeks and i suprisingly noticed that there are Honda Accords driving around everywhere that look just look like the TSX. Should i hit the dealership and get some parts and do you guys think it would be cheaper here since this is practically a third world country? Someone please do the research since the internet here sucks more than dialup and it took me about half an hour to just do this. Thanks.

 

I bet its going to be more expensive. I dont know why you think that it would be cheaper because of third world country.

 

It's the currency exchange rate. The dollar is worth more in 3rd world countries than it is in the US. Even a low paid US worker would look super rich when they go to a 3rd world country (and no, I'm not white or anything...my ancestry is in a 3rd world country ;-P)

OP might have a hard time carrying/packing the items.

I'd probably look into the body kit for sure. I don't know how the grille looks for the accords there. Maybe the headlight washer kit lol

 

headlights!

 

Yea im super rich here =) I have an 06 already so are the "headlights" any different? Also, will all the Accord parts fit my TSX since i want to look into some finer parts such as the clear headlights and etc.

 

04=05, 06 is unique.

 

I bet any parts you'll find there will be more expensive

 

I bet you get taxed when you try and bring all those parts through customs. I think the Honda emblems would be the most wanted out of all for rebadging.

 

Yea... Or you just dont tell the custom whats in the bag. Its not like im risking national security by not telling customs i got a car part in my bag (considering its not an engine or anything like that). Oh yea, nobody really charges tax here. Can someone please goto Honda Pakistan's site and compare the prices for Civic parts to american prices. So atleast we know whos cheaper. Currency exchange rate: 1 dollar= 60 rupees. Thanks.

 

O'RLY ? Have you re-enter US from Pak before (after 9-11) ?



:ibugetbusted:

 

You're right about not telling customs if you don't want to get taxed, but assuming he doesn't have a direct flight from Pakistan to where he lives in the US, he is going to have his bags rescreened for the domestic flight at which point they will discover the parts, probably ask him to open the bag, and then he will have to pay to ship those parts to his home since you cannot carry-on or even check larger automotive parts in luggage (I've asked before so I know from experience).

 

Accord looking like TSX ???
I was just on the honda/pakistan website, and did not find any car even close to looking like TSX, someone blind by birth, could even tell the diff.....
Accords over there are same as in US. Do you even know how TSX looks like.....
Guys, he is just wasting his time in Pakistan.......

 

dude that society operates VERY differently....those that can afford it can pretty much import anything on their own and it's rather common.
