Hasn't all the modified Accords (like the Mugen ones, and the Type R) in the past been sedans too?

I'd keep the original grille personally. Overall it looks like a jdm toyota with some kind of gay name like Soarer. The spoiler is pretty big but it's a tunershop car for pete's sake what'd you expect --- at least it's a good quality spoiler that suits the look of the Mugen kit, not some dumb aluminum 'drilled' monstrosity. Can't wait for all the function-over-form officianados and point out the spoiler.:rolleyes:

Maybe they got the sedan first :dunno:

They'll probably work on a coupe soon. That should be hot.

Who put on the Canadian Tire window trim?

i like the lip kit and the wheels, but the grill and window trim could be left alone.

Pretty much the same idea as the Mugen Civic Si sedan being sold in the US right now. IE some exterior mods, tuned suspension, no engine work. Hell it even looks like they used the same spoiler & window trim.

Not bad but a picture of the 2 door would be nice.:thumbsup:

Accord Coupes were never the rage in Japan, they were essentially designed for the NA market.

Looks great. I'd take it with a smaller wing or none, and without those window coverings at the top.

if there's no big spoiler, it can't be a tuned out honda.

I know Honda fans drool over Mugen stuff but it has to be some of the most overpriced rice to ever come out of Japan. Headers & exhausts which barely make any extra power for 4x the cost of a DC or equivalent. Suspension mods that can be done cheaper. Take it or leave it boy racer body kits. Not enough performance to justify the price IMO.

The new Accord has way more torque than previous generation ones. Even the 4 cylinder one is a lot peppier.

Coupe doesn't sell in Asia. There's no Civic or Accord coupe in Asia.

Some people need to realize that a big, heavy, fwd family sedan should remain just that. Modding it is just stupid imo (aside from the fact this one looks horrible).

And I drove the new Accord sedan when I was looking for a new car just a few months ago and while it is a decent family car, it doesn't ride very well, doesn't handle very well, and has no low end power. I couldn't bring myself to own something like it yet.

It is like the new Camry, good for people with 2 kids or old people. I would be embarassed to mod something like that.

^ :eek: @#$%!! that's nice.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket cleared tail-lights but even that's well done here. Good find!

isnt the wheel and window visor from the mugen tsx? you would think they can at least come out with different wheels.

the other accord looks quite interesting

I agree, the Honda boys just lap it up though man... they are doing it to themselves in a way.

I like the rear more then the front. The grill looks like it got jacked from a Subaru. Its ok though. The new Accords look pretty dope.
