dzuy's euro r grill pics
ok. enough teasin. please excuse the little bits of dirt under my tailight, must be water that leaked out when i drove around the block.
items purchased.
1. jdm euro r grill w/ bottom
2. jdm euro r hood trim
3. jdm euro r h grill emblem
4. jdm euro r grill emblem
5. jdm dc5r rear red h emblem
6. jdm euro r rear emblem (it's so cool - the words euro r are in gunmetal!!!)
7. jdm euro r radicator cover
as you can see, there is a quarter inch gap between the top of the grill trim and the hood trim. oh well. and there is a really small gap where the bottom of the grill is, but i lobe it!
thanks to boom plus toys.
two of my 19 inch tires are shot, so i will replace them this week.
a full photoshoot soon.

Looks pretty good. dzuy. I especially like the Euro R badging, and the red accented Honda emblem. I have to say, though, the gaps on the front grill would bug me. I'm glad you like it, but I like shit to fit right.
You mentioned you wore out your 19" tires, but aren't those stock 17" wheels on your TSX?
BTW, your car looks nice with the body kit, too. Along with the Euro R badging, it does a good job of setting your car apart from the average TSX.

Lack of a camber kit and alignment wore his tires too quick. I think he learned his lesson and is taking care of it all though.
Dzuy-- Is the color of the trim PWP, or the white from the Euro-R. I think it is a different color, no?
Looks good!

so i had the tires swapped and moved them to the front.
unfortunately, my front camber is off too, so it wore out the other side. i have two sides worn out on two tires, so i'm buying a camber kit this week and getting it aligned.
and i'm buying two new tires too - so my car will be back together - in time for a jdm car show in south florida next month.
once i get my car back together, i'm goin to take a whole lot of pics

anyway, the h should have two clips in the back, all you do is stick it in the grill and it snaps into place, i'm not sure why yours didn't have it.
all of my parts were UNOPENED - and still had the factory honda seal.
that's why i took the pic, i am very impressed.

i love the look of the grill and have no regrets.

Not to create a bigger bill for you, but if you're camber and all was off enough to have run through a set of tires that quick, you may want to think about buying all four tires at once. Uneven tire wear on just two tires might have an effect on performance and traction. Eventually you'll have to replace them, but if you can afford to buy all four and then rotate them back and forth a lot more, you'll save in the long run.
I think tire rotation is recommended every 7K miles, but I do mine every 3-5K miles. Helps a lot, especially on lowered vehicles. Just some info/ thoughts for you.

dzuy, car looks great! i remember something like 8 monthes ago you were talking about getting the Euro-R grill and you finally did! The drop and tint are probably my next mods as I have to drool over your PWP all the time. Can't say I'm a big fan of the DC5R emblem though, its not very Euro-Rish

Does the rear emblem have the pegs/holes like the stock A emblem, or is it just a stick on? b/c I got the regular euro R rear H and it didn't look like it was going to fit, so my car is kind of having an identity crisis, and I'm wondering what other options I have.
Nice pics, BTW. and the car looks very clean. good work. we have a lot of the same parts, but somehow it just looks a lot better on PWP I think.
