About 400euro's... Not all EuroAccord come standardly equiped with HID headlights... I upgraded from H1 halogen to 6000K HID with a conversion kit, so for me the difference is huge. Ballasts are Hella, bulbs are JDM.

Wheels are 17" option wheels from Honda. Side pics are a few months old when I was still running Michelin Pilot Sports tires. I'm now running Bridgestone Potenza RE050a's (225/45/17). Will put on winter tires and rims in a month or so (17" 205/50/17 Dunlop SP Winter Sport M2)

Got the car as one of the first ones in feb 2003. Going to replace it in feb 2006 for a black one... Must admit I was looking at the iS250 for a while, but will stick with the EuroAccord... Will get a Type-S though instead of the sport...

Thought they were ok. The tirewear was very good... drove 70.000km on them. Grip in dry was ok. Switched to the Potenza RE050a's because they came out on top in some tests here in europe. Must say it took a while before they set in, but now that they have I'm very happy with the Potenza's... not as good looking tires as the Pilot Sports though...

hey thanks for the pics I appreciate it. Out stock tires are 215/50. Been contimplating 235/45 or 225/45, so this helps. Car looks good

Wish I had a rear fog-light. It gets pretty foggy here at times, people always rushing up behind me

Always nice to see a Euro owner.

By the way, that's interesting that the Euro Accord has projector headlights with halogen lamps. I thought that was not done much anymore.

In 2003 only the Executive models had HID's. Couldn't even get it as an option on the Sport. Now in 2005 you can get the HID's as an option. I like the 6000K over the 4300K though, so not complaining...

I got a Silver satin Type-S in May 2003 in Switzerland and it did come with HID's - totally love them. it has the stock gunmetal rims.
seems like the Type-S was not available everywhere in Europe. France still does not have it. Germany does.

Nice ride there Mokijoki.
