Euro-R Model put in my car

I got this from an ebay seller whom someone talked about before. It's a limited edition of a PWP Honda Accord Euro-R model, and it was shipped from Hong Kong. I have put this in my car and I personally think it fits great.






let me know what you guys think!

thanks

Trust me, one summer of sun bath is enough to kill it. And did you mention "limited edition"?

I'm just suggesting you to keep this nice piece of model away from sun, in somewhere proper, such as your room. That's all. It's a nice looking model and I bet it wasn't cheap either.

I used to keep a car model on my dash (in Vancouver). Yes, it might look cool, but it just couldn't stand the ordeal of sun and heat. The paint faded, the decal cracked and I was pissed.

yes it's langstaff. and no i don't park there because i believe it's very insecured due to past experience parking there. i used to own a 3.2 TL and my Acura badges were stolen. so now i drive to langstaff station, then my brother drives to his office and picks me up at the end of the day.

but hey i don't see any tsxes around there too. i go to the south lot tho maybe you park in north lot?

yes when i was in the train, i saw white tsxes in old cummer

Oh... my bimmer has its engine light coming on and loss all its power again.... :shit:

It's something that was added to the car that does not belong.

If you feel you must have something occupying that space by all means have at it - most people do not have that issue.

yeah it fits perfectly on that size. but then it will be removed because sun is gonna kill the paint, which i would really hate to happen on my lovely model.

ohh lol just wondering why ppl go offtopic on that fin thingy. yeah i know the problem about reflection. but then it's not so severe enough that blocks my view. if i remove the euro-r, it will be some air freshener to replace it. but these days i struggle to find a good air freshener. any good brands to recommend?

Hey wingwing. How much did you get that model for? Cause I'm planning to get that, 04 NSX-R, and either a DCR5 or Spoon S2K for about 110.

Hey, guys, nothing wrong with having a die-cast model TSX in you car, but I agree having it out on display like that could draw unwanted attention. I've had one in my car for a year now, got no complaints no sun damage, I've put it in the guage cluster and used some velcro to hold it in place.



I collect all types of die-cast cars mostly, and don't mind paying in the $25-$35US range for them. I know to some it's too much for such a small car, but to each his own. I get them direct from Ebbro or on eBay.
