just if u wanna see the reversal....

And once again if any of u want USDM Headlights or to get rid of that pesky rear fog light'...toss a pm this way

 

Well durr...I should have tried that web address, thanks!

And after looking at it more - it does indeed look like the airbag swap would be the only way. prob too much money, i think I might investigate the sticker path again.

Yeah the headlights are a no-go after checking with the authorities, the lights are engineered for LHS driving here (and Japan, England etc) and RHS driving in US (and Europe), so legally can't swap them over unfortunately, would have to re-engineer lights (way the beams point, has to be AWAY from oncoming traffic), too much trouble.

Rear fog lights? not a feature of the standard or luxury model Euro down here in Aus...Maybe only in Europe is it?

I took those picks to show you the interior and dimensions.

 

Thanks very much for the pictures, it definetly makes me think of a badge swap. The dimensions are different enough not to be a straight swap of a badge. I don't want to pay $500+ to get the airbag swapped over for one badge though....Does it even swap straight over? Has anyone seen a successful swap from Acura>Honda or vice versa?

 

If you can find a way to take it apart without the airbag deploying, I'll swap with you.

 

Cheers cmf...my dad is an auto-electrician, i'll get him to take a look and let you know what he says......

 

Sounds good. By looking at the pics, the steering wheel looks exactly the same. I am sure it is, I would think the only one that might be different would be the Euro-R.

 

Some updated pics - the badges are now on the back, and the centre caps as well....







And cmf - its a no-go on the steering wheel airbag swap - you cannot remove the airbag component without some sort of warranty issue, and apparently its too dangerous to be playing with these things (for many reasons), as my dad has informed me......

 

Hey, those look like MY badges that aren't on my car anymore

Conversion came out great; has anyone asked you what an Acura is yet?

 

Any updates on that? Also, are your door handles all chrome?

 

Lanny: you have seen those badges before? really ? yeah get it all the time, its great.....actually quite a few of the Euros around now, and I've seen a couple of the MY05 models around as well now....)*&&% bastards now put a full spare instead of a spacesaver like i have.....

cmf: the airbag is a no-go due to safety and warranty ''issues' with changing the unit over unfortunately... Don't want to void the warranty just yet!
And all the handles ARE chrome - are they not on the TSX? I thought they were?


And another thing - the double sided tape is a weasel of a thing to cut out right, took me like 45 mins a badges to do it perfectly, never again !!!

 

Damn, that sucks the airbag thing won't be so easy. As far as the door handles, the TSX has body colored handles to an extent. There is a small strip of chrome on it.
