Damn what happened to that accord with the yellow lights, shits hideous. But anyways, the second one that i posted a picture of is a TSX, looks like it has a lip kit of some sort, but it is clearly a TSX bumper.

The 7th gen shares it's platform with the TSX but none the less that 7th gen had major metal work done to incorperate the TSX lights, but it would be easier since a 7th gen shares the fender curves in a way. Bumper and radiator height would match up as well.

Putting TSX headlights on a 6th gen Accord, might as well try and fit S2000 lights just as easy.

That's a JDM 6th gen front and rear, not a TSX (7th gen UK-JDM Accord) on a 6th gen front and rear.

And welding looks like fun...

Mr.Chad cant admit that hes wrong and that people are actually doing this mod. I would just ignore the dude because he has nothing positive to say about the thread.

Show me an Actual TSX nose on a 6th gen then?

We have a 6th gen street fighter bumper and cut out grill, a 7th gen Accord with a TSX conversion (that would make some sense.) We have a 6th gen Accord with another regions 6th gen bits custom fit (not a TSX)....

..that last example shows just how much metal work you will need to do a conversion of this nature. Even the 7th gen with bits needed that much work.

And this just goes to show that anything is possible if you're willing to spend a lot of time and/or money. However, MrChad speaks from a practical and financially sensible perspective but not everyone is so concerned about that. If time and/or money is of no concern to you and your goal is achieve a truly unique look, then by all means go for it. I personally would not do it because I don't have the time for it and I live on a budget.

.:werd: thus that is why I'd just go out and get a TSX. I'd rather have a faster car that is a TSX, than to have a slower car that cost about the same money to buy a TSX, and yet its not a TSX. how is it considered original if your copying the look of another car?

mc chad has no imagination i did a 98 accord front end on a 92 accord and the contours were completely different the hood is completely square on a 92 and the the 98 bumper was like 4 inches too wide... but then again i am a body boy... you just need the front bumper left right headlight and the hood and the grille...
section the tsx fender and cut out a lil on the accord fender tack the two together the headlight mounting brackets on the accord coresupport are gonna have to be custom made and then yeah i cant tell exectly how to do it but its not that big of a job i mean if you have all the proper tools... my brother owns a body shop so i learned alot from him and i always had access to a shop full of tools
