1999 Honda Saber
Here's a picture of my Saber. I do live in Japan, and you can see the HOA badge on the rear C pillar. The trunk was open when I took this picture, so there's nothing on the trunk.
I promise more if there is demand. It is a 25V, so I have the J25A motor (GF-UA4 model). Let me know if this is something you want to see........

Very nice... I like how the mud flaps match the car... and the side marker (should be white though IMO).
I didn't know the car came as a 25V, very cool, how about a pic of the engine?

The mud flaps are stock, along with the side markers. I'll be doing some cleaning on it and I'll have some pictures soon. There's a typhoon coming in and I have to hide the car in the garage for a day or two....)

Thanks for the response
I'll answer a few questions I saw before I say more:
No. That car is a Toyota Presea. The tail lights are similar, but it's a much smaller and inferior car.
All Saber/Inspire/TL's are US made. My J25A engine is even made in the US, but it's Japanese market only because of emissions. It develops about 200 hp without mods, so I plan to try a few things, although this engine is not used by any other Honda line.
Yes, I'll get pictures out ASAP. I have to do the front/back/interior, etc... along with the HOA badge. Hell, my key has the Honda Eagle on it.
It does have the HID headlights and cloth seats. I'll even get a shot of my rear window shade from Honda ACCESS (the factory accessory arm).
The wheels are factory, 15" is what is sold here. The Type S (32V) gets the 16" ones you have in the USA. They are 5 lug pattern, 35 offset.

From Wikipedia, take it for what it's worth
The Honda Saber was a Japan-market version of the second-generation Acura TL sedan. It was built by American Honda in Marysville, Ohio and exported to Japan along with the similar Honda Inspire. The model lasted from 1996 to 2004, and has not yet been replaced.

I have seen some in Hong Kong and one of my friends in Hong Kong used to have one before.
Here are a couple of pictures

It was a Nissan Presea
The car was a Presea. I just forgot if it was a Nissan or Toyota (too many of those here). Here come the pics.

The front and grill
You guys owe me....
Note the badge, and it actually goes deeper into the grill, so to get this effect you have to get the grill, not just put a badge on (very integrated).
