An email to Mugen Japan and here is what i got about the aero dynamics

Thank you for your enquiry.

First, please understand that our products are researched, developed and
manufactured based on Japanese model.

Next, the web page which you indicated is for 2006 Accord Sedan. It is
impossible to fit these Mugen aero parts for 2006 Accord to 2003 Honda
Accord CL7. Because the shapes is a little different between 2003 and 2006
accord. For both Side Spoiler and Rear Wing only, you will be able to
install them to 2003 Honda Accord.


For the way to purhchase our products, we reccomend you to contact our
importer in Hong Kong.

I read & understand differently.

"For both Side Spoiler and Rear Wing only, you will be able to

Side & Rear Wing Spoiler Fit, that's what I understand that e-mail.

SideNote: 2006 Mugen Grille alone 100% won't fit 04/05. Size difference

I still have to disagree in my opinion from pictures atleast. until we can get our hands on pictures of the 2006 with the bumper removeds and pictures of a 2004 headlight and a 2006 headlights I still say there is a possibility that those that want to do this can. If there is anyone that lives near a 2006 owner and can get them to allow us to take there bumper off it would be awesome. while I am home over break I will go visit my dealer to see if they will remove one so I can take pictures of it.

But until pictures prove otherwise I am pretty sure they did not redesign the fenders at all or the frame of the car. This causes me to be pretty confident that that guy is wrong whether he works for mugen or not.

we will see... it could be the distance between the end of the grill and the bottom. I don't know what you are going to have to get for a radiator cover either

Quoted from other thread.

I went to a dealership & checked out a 06 TSX.
Hasn't open the hood thou.
but my guess is same as TSX.Fury
The problem possibly is those tabs/holes undernerth the Radiator Cover since the 06 Grille is Bigger then 04/05.

The distance between these two circles. See I (and Bender agrees with me) that because they are squishing the grill they are moving the position of those circles and therefore are going to have to move the tabs. I mean, its just my guess.

I went to see the 06 TSX too today.
and the salesman said headlights haven't changed..so that's a good thing.
However, as spoken above..the grill is definitely changed.
( and so is the fogs and the wheels)
Which I'm very concerned about...But I asked several auto/bodyshops for the fitting
and they said It would fit no problem or at least with a little modification if needed.
But I also contacted kingmotorsport, they said they'll test fit the kit and contact me about how it fits..I don't think it will be soon though..hmm...so curious.....!

Just ask for a 2006 loaner the next time when you take the car in for service.

I think as long as the bumper will line up, then I am sure any bodyshop can take care of the clips and nuts location problem.

That is what I believed too before I actually saw the real ones.
In the pictures it looks thinner but in real it looks the same.
PLUS I meant the hood is differnt because of the hood trim.
Where the line follows the grill has changed.
But I don't think the headlights have...
Well, it's what I hope, to be honest

You are a Baller, doesn't really matter.
I guess You are expecting $4000+ CDN painted for Full Bumper & the rest
On the other hand, you sure are ditching your EuroR Kit fast
So You want to be the Guinea Pig. Good Luck

You can't beat Tanabe's ride quality

AJ go via BPT. That's won't be happening

BU was HARDCORE!!.... he went 2.5" before.....hahaha... do that!!

i don't think 4000+ can get you painted for the full kit man... you probably looking a little less than 6 grand.. unless you know some body shop that is willing to do it for cheap!!

remember the labour!
