Same here. I love that grille but I don't want to rebadge. The front/rear is easy enough but then at the very least I'd need to do centercaps on the OEM/winter wheels, and the "A" airbag would bother me every time I saw it, so I'd end up sourcing an Accord one to go in there and that's just more money... bleh.

OP: hot looking CL7! Nicely done. Clean.

Same here I want the unique grill but don't feel like rebadge the rear and the individual wheels (center-caps).

we need someone to create a replica that has a mounting platform in the size/shape of the acura A as opposed to the H

i've got a mugen on the way, so i'm not sure if i'd go with a replica though

I don´t understand, putting euro-R emblems on a car that has nothing else euro-R on it?

I think I would start with the kit befor I even thought about those emblems.

He's trying to turn it into the jdm counterpart the CL7, maybe he has extensive engine work who knows? Personally I spent my money on suspension, and engine modifications and I am not even close to done before I even worry about some piece of abs that I can slap onto my car.

JDM is a way of life

It won't matter once you swap on to aftermarket rims. Seriously, how many Euro-R you see on forum that doesn't rock a set of Volk/Advan rim?

b4ceen, clean car. Now you need the 06 Euro-R kit and 06 JDM Headlight to call it CL7 Euro-R.

yea vortec, im from toronto. Markham exactly.

I was debating the euro r kit, but to be honest, I kinda like how it looks stock. And no, I didnt swap the center caps. They still say Acura, but the only reason why I didnt bother is #1 - for a set of 4, its like $100, and #2 - ill be gettin some nice rims this spring, so I decided not to waste the money.

YING - I got it at speedstar auto. Not sure what the prices are now since I bought it when the US $$ was crap, so I got a good deal. You might have to check with them again.

Should I buy the grill guys, I am getting it for 150?
How much do you guys think it would cost for the Honda emblem and the Euro R.

they seem kind of pricey on ebay?

Car looks nice, but the title of your thread is pretty misleading.

CCColts = true Euro-R conversion (almost everything except the K20A)


vs.

b4ceen = basic rebadging


Sorry man, there's a BIG difference...

I agree, no need to bash. Besides these things take time and money. Who knows, maybe overtime, he'll complete the conversion.

Poor guy, he's excited about what he's done so far and felt like sharing it with us.

You're car looks good man.

while i agree that there's no need to bash, you're comparing apples to oranges.

to have a mugen grille but nothing else is nothing like trying to convert your car into a different market's version of it.

there is no factory produced mugen tsx (or accord).

Sorry if you misconstrued what I said as bashing. I agree that you should do whatever you like and I already did say your car looks nice.

My beef was with your thread title (which also happens to be in your sig). Like ruffellprefley said, if you're planning to do more mods to your car like a Euro-R lip kit, JDM headlights, etc. to at least make it "look" somewhat like a Euro-R, then I'd have no problem calling it a conversion. But until then, it's not a Euro-R "conversion" - it's only a rebadging.

I'm not sure why you're bringing up my Mugen grille because the difference is I never professed to converting my car into anything in the first place (Mugen or otherwise). Still, if we're splitting hairs I suppose you could say mine is a CompMuJDMAdvan conversion ?
