i think those look kinda nice. accords/tsxs were never meant for racing so those type r badges have to go! other than that it looks fine. i don't see anything wrong with them since they are decent cars anyway
red is

one time my friend was too lazy to back his car out of my driveway so i could pick up my brother so i drove his TSX instead. a little flashy but it was a fine car to buy

Why would they purposely rebadge an Acura with a Honda badge

Type R Accords have always been around in Europe if I remember correctly. Putting a Type R badge on an Accord in teh US though would mean slapping the guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Type_R


Also Honda Accords ARE TSX's in Euopre/Japan. They share the same body. I believe only in the US and maybe other countries does the Accord and TSX have different bodies.

The previous generation accord was sold in type-r in the UK. Sadly we don't get a type-r anymore.

The cars in the link are euro-r models available in Asia. I think the badges are OEM.

not feeling it... it's not a true TypeR conversion, it's just a mix and match. Wrong kind of rims for JDM style mods... Picture quality is amazing the photographer must be a pro.

The TSXs have been kicking major ass, including BMW's, in SWC touring series (won both driver's and manufacturer's titles last year).
