Saber Teaser.

So in deciding to keep the A-Ride, i decided the new direction was to do as complete a saber conversion as i can. Already have had the Saber spoiler with the square color camera for a few years now, so now i just got in the saber grill, saber door sills, HOA shift knob, and side markers(though i have clear jdm markers i'm probably going to use instead). Already have the silver type-s emblem just need the "SABER" and HOA badges and the H for the rear which i can get from the odyssey. And i need the airbag with the H.

i know i've had a hard time finding them too. Might have a lead on a bunch more saber stuff though soon, hopefully including the badges, lettering and airbag. as well as another grill and rare color camera spoiler.

To get closer to become a SABER you got trade in leather an get cloth interior. (maybe from Honda Accord or Civic )

Did you read my thread
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=734797&page=3

Since you don't mind using rear "H" from a Odyssey. I know where you can get fake SABER chrome emblems lettering I'm not sure, How much different it's front real size but should be close.

Ok, so just so Im straight on all this "JDM" stuff...the "Saber" is 02-03 and the "Inspire" is 99-01? Why do so many ppl have the Inspire stuff then? Is it just because the stuff is more readily available?

I'm hoping to make the Hopkinton Park meet this coming sunday. Just hope i can get most of the stuff on by then. All this stuff i get direct from japan through an intermediary that i've used in the past for rarer old school stuff like laserdisc and lps from japan only.

I not sure what different HOA (Eagle) an other ones, but I have seem then on ebay alots time for under $20 for a use pair. I wonder what other Honda use that HOA badge with Gold Eagle?

Only reason Why I never bought HOA Eagle, it remember me too of Chevy Impala with there logo at same spot.

my computer puts squares when i past that in lol.

ebay works with it.. but it gives me nothing....

and to the guy up there^^^^ $3,000 + shipping on the saber wasnt as bad as you think. i would still have gotten my honda saber much cheaper then many of the members here paid for their TL's... and half the mileage too.

just a tedious process. and i wasnt aware of the car untill after i bought my TL

sorry for the OT

its cause you don't have the Japanese language pack installed on your computer. So they just show up as blocks. It doesn't matter though. When putting them in a search engine it still works cause the Unicode behind the scene is still the same. So if you went to babelfish and translated english to japanese and all u see are blocks, if you copied and pasted that it would work correctly.
