Stunning,stunning,stunning...and look how awesome the clean alloys look.

You must be in love.

Thanks Antony, I most certainly am!

I do love the look of the car how it is. I'm not in any sort of rush to change the wheels out.. Maybe sometime in the future I'll think about it some more.

One thing I'm surprised with is the stereo in the car. I was always reading that people seemed to hate the stereo so I had plans to change it out when I got it but after tweaking some settings I'm more than happy with it. And being able to connect my USB drive with 32gigs of my music just tops it off nicely.

I was planning on going to the window tinters today but turns out they are only opened M-F so I'll give em a buzz tomorrow.

Tinted windows will look good,I have not had mine done,as am too neurotic that when they remove the door panels,it might create rattles.

But have a chat to them,and see what they suggest,and let us know what you deceide.

The Bi-Xenons are fantastic. The stripe isn't DRL's, they come on when the parking lights come on though.

And thanks Rudy!!


Car is getting tinted all round with the darkest legal tint tomorrow which is 35%. Will set me back $240 with a 10 year warranty. I'll get some photos up when it's done.

I like this CU2 better than pre-facelift...but I still can't help thinking that it looks like a falcon from an angle and that the CL9 still looks better :P

Perhaps if it ever gets the 3.5 V6 to offset the weight I'll consider it (not likely since that would be Honda shooting themselves in the foot)!

I did like the pre-face lift CU2 before I saw this one in the flesh. I loved the huge grill on the preface lift but as soon as I saw this I fell for it straight away. I was actually thinking on the drive home from work this afternoon I wonder if they'd ever put the 3.5L V6 in one of these? A bit of a pipe dream but I'm still hoping that we may get the Accord Coupe down under though!

Got the windows tinted today and it's improved the look of the car greatly. I tried to get photos under the same conditions and times as the originals to show the darkness, but it def looks a lot darker in the photos than in real life.





The flash went off in these photos so I'm guessing it was a little darker.

I can't understand why some installers cut around the rear window stoplight, while other installers do the complete rear window

Wow Wow Wee Wah. Your car is very nice!!!!!! I like.

The Accord Euro is sold in America,Canada,and Mexico with the 3.5 V6,where it is called the Acura TSX.

This platform is also sold in Europe with a 2.2 diesel,and globally as a station wagon.

I recently saw them in South Africa,and they are super sexy.
