Is there any way you can use image shack or something to host it? I'd rather not register for that board just to view the attachment. If not, that's cool. Thanks.

Looks very familiar I like it!

How's the quality on the Vis Racing CF hood? You might be one of the first here to have it, even though I don't care too much for CF, I like how it looks contrasting our PWP

And the grill mesh does look like it needs to be painted, looks kinda cheap otherwise

How do you like the ride with the H&Rs? I have them sitting in my garage waiting to go on.

here some info:

the H&R springs you do feel more bumps, however the handling definately is better. much less body roll. I'm sure the ebiach is just as good, but H&R isnt as low as the ebiach prokit. which is fine, because I dont want it to be too low. 18s would be perfect.

The grill, I thought about getting it paint black but, the shop says it will chip away easily, beside in person it looks very clean so I'll leave it at that.

The hood, Im quite impressed, the Vis CF hood fits quite nicely, there is only a slight gap on the left side then again, from a meter you cannot tell at all.

I will post more pictures, close ups. once I get my mugen visor and rear wing. Those items could take awhile to get here.

For those wanting the phase grill, here is my suggestion, if you are willing to spend the money to replace the USDM TSx with the JDM euro bumper, grill, I suggest going with mugen grill instead. because the phase grill suppose to only fit the JDM euro accord. all the holes do not line up at all. and I have to order a JDM front radiator cover just to have the holes fit, but thats only 2 out of 4 holes that fit, if I want all 4 to fit perfectly, the bottom of the grill will have a large gap. which I do not want. so its nearly a very tight fit. so mod with caution.

Mugen grill is the same, seems anything made for the Euro-R has slight fitment problems
