Why would you want to turn your Acura into a Honda?

Um JDM? Since the TSX is available in Japan as a Honda Accord, some of us prefer to go authentic and re-badge the TSX to Honda Accord, and modify every parts with the Japanese parts as much as possible. People have been doing that with alot of the other Japanese makes and models like the Acura RL, rebadge to Honda Legend, G35 to Nissan Skyline. etc..

I personally do not understand why anyone would want to lable their Acura as a Honda. That being said, the merits of the two grilles compared: I prefer the Acura symbol, it is a stylized "A" as compared with the Honda symbol which is a plain "H".

the h is stylized as well. you're probably just more used to seeing it.

Well i think its Ricey / bandwagonesque too generalize any style of modding cars unless its poor quality / bad workmanship .

Like what you like .... FUCK EVERYONE ELSE

If your modding your car to please other people you are the true definition of a RICER poser-boy !!!

but i guess to each his own.

And how is that different from someone buying an Acura so that they rebadge it Honda?

Some people sound like they just like to run around and discount or disavow other Acura owners' reasons for buying. (yawn) Everyone buys for their own reasons, none of them more or less valid than anyone else's. Deal with it.

OP asked for comments. I don't like the gaudy, big , red H emblem on those. Hence, . EOM.

This would be the same as someone badging a Lexus into a Toyota, which I would never do myself.

But, I still think of the TSX is an nicer Accord with a better warranty, loaners, HIDs, and more prestige than a US Accord.

Someone once ordered one of these only to find out the fitment was terrible. And by "one of these" I mean explicitly the eBay JDM grille knockoff with the red H.

The real JDM grille is of course a good fit. 04/05 people just make sure to get the JDM trim for it too.

Right. No need for any of the negativity here, but you asked for opinion/ideas and that's pretty much what you got (including my earlier posts). I certainly agree with to each their own. Sure would be boring if anyone did the same thing.
