There is a thread a couple spaces down where we are talking about the CR-V....read that thread and you can take out CR-V and replace with this thing....

Very nice, I like them both minus the wing on the accord, and its not easy for me to get excited about a Honda.

Drop the wing, add a bit bigger set of rims and I think we have a winner. I wonder why when they made this, did they add the decklid spoiler with the Evo looking spoiler.

It seems to me Mugen likes to add every single piece of add-on stuff on all Honda in order to earn as much money as possible. This Accord is a bit too racer for my taste, I like a more subtle front lips and rear trunk lips than that exaggerative wings.

Not bad. At least it dresses up what would be a rather boring design. The wind deflectors have a nice touch to them.

It seems that there's a bit too much going on with that kit, which is quite unusual for a Mugen kit. Maybe if it just had a lip spoiler on the trunk lid instead of that big wing.

I like the extra lights on the trunk lid (if those are even lights) since the rear of the new Accord looks like it's missing something.

Why does Honda and Mugen keep doing this crap? Both cars look horrible.
