Excuse my ignorance, but what is the Euro R kit?

Grill, lip, skirts, spoiler?
That lip looks like an OEM lip. Correct? :)

euro r kit includes grill, front lip, side skirts, and rear skirts.
the front lip is different to OEM, it has that hollow area on each side that (I think) improves downforce.

they have to swap their A's for H's and so on.....AND not to mention we dont have that orange bit in the headlights. AND the new 05 euro luxury comes standard with the JDM euro R rims....AND................I have no idea what im doin.....im just bored. hehehhe

back to the point....if you change the front headlights, and whack on advan kreuzer rims on it, it would look exactly like LOC888's euro :D

Yes I eventually plan to find an entire front clip from japan and have it shiped over so I can get teh engine and right hand drive. Yes some will say to just import the euro-r from japan but then its not fun of modding your car.

wheels the rims are going to be done soon also. eventually after I am out of college I will be doing 19" volk te37 in mercury silver, but for now I will get the jdm wheel for only $900US. Now about the black door trim. Does that trim come on any model over in AU or NZ. I need to try to find the trim before I decide to paint it. I would rather just replace. If anyone can get this let me know I would send you money so you can get me the trim.

I hate NZ...maybe cos they can get everything that we can't and we're just like neighbours. Damnit.

Until it has the K20, it's not a Euro-R in my pov, no matter how much you make it look like one. Not to mention the Euro-R has better suspension setup too.

Well actually I have a better suspension that the Euro-R does cause I have the TEIN Flex Coilovers for the Euro-R.

your one will not look like as euro-R whatever u do

cos i think euro-R does NOT have sun roof :D :D :D

but tat looks very nice : )

10-04-2005, 04:54 AM

I have thought about having that removed when i do the front clip but I think I might let that the way it is so it is a key to show that it was a conversion and not the original. but fixing the euro r headliner might be a problem so i may have to get rid of it who knows. by the time i get that far into the project it will no longer be my daily driver so it wont matter

Just let him do what he wants..
Whether you think it's logical or not, it's not your car..
If he wants to convert his car, let him..

BTW, nicely done cccoltsicehockey !
looks good

like how much is really expensive cause i would be willing to pay around 350-500 for the set.

I think ur car is very nicely done, just a few more things to complete the exterior conversion. Try calling Morris at Boom Plus Toys in Canada. He can get euroR parts including the black door trims. Planning on dropping in a K20A?

it's probably a lot cheaper to powdercoat them black. now if I only knew how to undo them.... I want to get them black as well :D

hmm.. it's also interesting how euro-R uses black door trims, but chrome door handles.

Well actually I have a better suspension that the Euro-R does cause I have the TEIN Flex Coilovers for the Euro-R.

I know for a fact that the factory Type-R's (Integra and Civic) have suspension better than most aftermarket ones because it matches the car really well. I haven't been in a Euro-R or a Euro with Tien flex's, but I wouldn't dissmiss the factory Euro-R suspension with your Tien's just like that.

At least it's got less chrome down the sides... I think the chrome window surround is an overkill although I feel that Honda is trying to go slightly retro with the car :honda:

I think Honda went with black on the Euro-R to stay with the "sporty" theme, vs every other Accord model which some may consider to be more luxurious, therefore adding chrome.
