..but they arent vette or impala tails

I think the rear end R33 conversion might be the most ive ever seen applied..Legends, 4th Gen Max's, old accords- and it never really looks good haha

for some reason i was expecting an RB in there, nope. tail lights.

see if he wants to part with the lip kit and the mugen grill.

if looked from afar the rear end looks like the accord from 2 generations ago, whichever that might be

..a new paint job and slammed, I'm sure all of you would think differently about the car. The taillights aren't too bad, though not my cup of tea.. but other than the horrible paint job.. it looks alright.

+1 for the Mugen grille as well.

Why does any one mod their car? All they are doing is making it look like something else. Why do some Try to put Honda badges on it to make it not look like a Acura? Why do some Debadge? To be different from the guy next to them!

i agree.

but there are some instances where people go out of their way for no reason.
i remember seeing somebody selling a "Honda Accord" on ebay with an entire integra conversion.

i think he paid like 8K for the front clip and then custom masked the Tails look like a TEG. after all was said and done. he could of bought 2 integras and modded them.

its a damn shame.

debaging and sticking Honda symbols on Acura is fine, it makes sense.

but to me, modding your car to look like another car. dee duh deeee

Contacted the seller (good guy, btw)
Hopefully trading my car for his +cash (since mine is newer and has a little more money into it)
I plan on bagging it and getting some Work Emo's and calling it a day. (Since most of the work is already done. Love the rear end and paint.)
I'll make a new thread when I take ownership.

Wow...good luck with that jayunsplanet

I'm sure your "new to you" TL will be highly scrutinized so prepare yourself for the

Looking back at it...given that it is a wildly different look on a more conservative sedan...it could look a lot worse.

I'm not crazy about the color but hey...if you like it....then rock it!
