Been lurking for a few weeks, just bought an 06 Accord Euro Sport, thought I'd post a few pics of it!
Bought it with the gold badging and the gold plated exhausts which were apparently a Honda option....

Nice n congrats on your new purchase!

IMO not a fan of the gold badging on the car. Much prefer the original.

Looks clean mate!

Have seen a fair few Euros with the gold badges, but never thought anybody would have picked the gold exhaust tip option! It's different to say the very least, and actually looks a lot better than I imagined.

Yeah I was surprised it was a Honda option, any ideas on how much it cost to do?

I remember when i got my car the dealer was asking if i wanted them and offered it for an extra $100 for the badges... but i'm not too sure how much it would cost for the tips.

Nice car. I love the blue. Not a fan of the gold badges either. 1st time I have seen the gold exhaust tips though.

Not a clue mate! I bought mine second hand as well, and only came across that option when looking through an old accessories brochure I found on Google. Nearly fell off my chair when I first saw it - I couldn't believe they were actually serious about offering gold exhaust tips!

Honda has been offering gold plated badges since 1996 when I bought my first Honda.. or perhaps were offering gold badges in the past and not anymore now.

Gold badges? yeah... blame the Chinese, we love that S^&%

PS: Gold badge will do OKAY if we got Gold/dark yellow rims.

Yeah, I was a bit iffy about the gold exhausts when I bought them but after a good clean they look great and I keep getting compliments about them. Looks a lot better in person

Yes the instruments are red. Imagine where yours are blue they are red.
The centre console etc are the same though.

I knew about the gold badges, but not the exhaust tips. Look alright I guess. I've seen gold badges on black Euro's and that works out alright. Can't really see it working on my graphite colored car though.

And the gold exhausts look much better in person, they are more subtle than you might think because they are mostly covered due to the body kit. Plus, its nice to have a stock car that is still easily distinguishable as your own.

Should be a straight swap. I mean even the normal Accords have the same layout, only they have green backlight.

Yeah, I've got the blue tachos, prefer it over the red or green ones. Matches the trip computer too.
