I don't like that kit either, but I like the rims on that car.

I liked the yellow Accord coupe they had at SEMA last year.

Well they've pretty well wrecked that car! I hate all the bolt on shit that looks like it's bolted on. Why aren't there any tasteful Honda tuners out there (like AMG for MB)?

iNteGraz92

uh, because AMG is a PART of Benz
also, that accord coupe CONCEPT has the tsx engine w/ 6spd tranny AND the turbo

Dan Martin

I don't mean that AMG should build Acura's, I'm just saying that the mods they do to MB cars are very tasteful. Maybe I should have used Alpina as a better example.

Best part of that car...I like the color on black side mirrors.

TinkySD

Where did you hear that? If it's true sounds good fot tsx tuners

BuddySol

Well...there's always Mugen.

I agree it would be nice to have a more OEM approach to kits & spoilers. I believe that the stock OEM front, side, & back body kit looks too bolted on. I'd rather seem something that looks more seamless - like Votex for VW. I haven't seen a lot of Mugen's offerings, so maybe its better. But there is no reason that Acura cannot design a new front & rear? spoiler that is a full bumper replacement.

In my opinion, that is the bad thing about Japanese tuning. It is too agressive. It should never look like an aftermarket part. It is supposed to look like the factory put out a really cool version of the car.

The Honda Factory Performance (HFP)/Ro_Ja Honda Accord Concept makes its debut in the Honda display at SEMA. It was developed as a collaboration between industry icon RJ deVera and Honda Factory Performance. The goal was to combine aftermarket products, Honda factory components and HFP accessories to create a car that meets the demands of today's enthusiast buyers. To do it, the Accord Coupe received a 2.4-liter i-VTEC TSX engine and a TSX close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, a Pure Styling Ro_Ja Ground Effects Kit, Sparco racing seats, 19-inch Ro_Ja Forged wheels and BF Goodrich tires. Leading aftermarket companies GReddy Performance Products USA, Circuit Worx, and Street Concepts pitched in to help make the concept a wildly creative, yet purely Honda vision of the Accord Coupe.

i called greddy on this, they made the turbo kit but it isnt tuned and isnt fully functional yet. it was a one off kit and is not in production. if there are enough requests for a turbo kit then they will make one, but as of now no plans for the near future. the possiblity of a turbo kit is in the works though

I never liked the 2003 Accord Coupe's tail lights. In fact, I like them even less than the 2003 Accord Sedan's tail lights.
