hehe. a usdm tsx conversion. i guess the saying is always true. you always want what you dont have.
everyone over here wants to do a jdm euro r conversion and you wanted a usdm tsx conversion! pretty cool!
<-- honda, for making too many different versions of the same car.

If you look at the pic (on the top part), it doesn't look like it sets as flush as it does on the USDM version. It looks about as much off as it is on the bottom when we get the JDM grills. Basically reversed.

Why do other countries have better license plates than the US?
Its pretty funny but when I was in Germany I saw a BMW AC M3 with CA plates.
Looked pretty poopy to me shoulda just kept his Euro plates.

My grill and badges are halfway across the world now Glad they fit well for you. I agree with CMF, the USDM and JDM bumpers must be slightly different, but I think the TSX grill being too big is a lot better than the Euro-R grill being too small.

Yeah I will use it, can someone post a pic for proper placement? I was enjoying everyone asking "what type of car is that'?!!!
That and I ran out of double sided tape and have to buy some more......
I'll post an updated picture once its all on!

Light assemblies or bulbs have to be orange. For me, I like the clean look of a clear reflector like on your car, so if you decide to swap out your headlamps to make it more like USDM, let me know, and we can work something out!

I always wondered if you could get the ACURA letters off of a CL and stick them onto a TSX. I always liked the lettering on the back end of the CL and wish they had done that with the TSX (spelled out A-C-U-R-A in the middle of the trunk, rather than the "A-badge"). Has that been done?

Thanks Mem! 21 in AZ had a CG TSX, too, just like mine, so I can see on his site what it would look like if I did the same to mine. I wonder where he got the lettering. May have to ask my dealer if he has some "spare letters" (just like "Wheel of Fortune"...can I buy an "A") or check my local junkyard to see if anyone has wasted a CL recently....

Wow........that's awesome work, I am loving it~
As for the USDM conversion.....wow, you are the first person I met (online and real life) that does that. All my friends talk about JDM, JDM , JDM.... no one wants to be USDM, not even some of the people in Asia~

Centercaps are no problem. Lets make some stickers in a shop and you don't see the difference.
The steeringwheel is another problem. But........
Make the travel to Europe (Belgium) with your airbag and we change it.
Youre always welcomm....
So you have a unique Honda and i have a unique Accura.
A have planty off place.
So you can see the difference (between european Honda's and 'Accura's).

Tomorrow a take a photo of it. With dimensions.
I post it somewhere. With dimensions.
I let you now where you can find my photo's.
I think, the only way to resolve those prolbems is to switch the airbag.........
Make me a proposal.

The Euro Accord Steering wheel cover is the same as the US Accord 2door Stering wheel, looks allmost identical to the TSX wheel, but the badge is a totally different size...Belive me i looked into it, unless u want to go through all the fuss of changing the airbags theres unfortinutly not much you can do...im attcually planning on looking into some of those aftermarket Honda Badges, too see if maybe one is close enough in size and shape to work with
