Thats what i think too. But in the interest of remaining a fully fledged, incontrovertible, heterosexual, I will most likely leave it as it is.

The interior is different I think. And they run better heads on their K24s I'm pretty sure.

I did not know that, interesting. Always seem to get shafted here in Aus. Thanks

reading the owner's manual here is depressing. ive read many over the years from various makes and you cannot help but feel that australian consumers pay more for less.

Put a BMW badge on it. Wonder if there's any laws regarding wrong badges or debadging.
I would debadge but wouldn't it leave a mark or something?

+1 Accord Euro with Type R badge is so silly. I wouldn't mind the Acura grille if you can get the genuine one, I've seen Civics with a Mesh grille and the tiny "ACURA" wording boot badge in it, looked silly too.

What about red H , type r?

Do whatever makes you happy. But if making others happy is what makes you happy then probably best not to.

Well traditionally: "Honda performance models are recognised by the Red H badge, which are reserved for the Type R models and formerly our F1 cars, with ‘R’ meaning Racing."

I guess it does seem to be a bit rice if you're putting it on a 1.8 litre Civic but it's no different to putting a M badge on a 320i with M-sport bodykit I guess. I've heard people comment that modding an Accord is like putting lipstick on a pig but !@#$ them, do what you like.
