European Accord sun shade kit (2005)
Hi
I'm in nead of a sunshade kit from my rear side windows and rear windscreen. I've been hunting around online as I don't much like most of the generic 'sucker' type rubbish that's about. On my travels I discovered this place which has a kit for the Tourer:
http://www.direct4x4.co.uk/start.php...t_id=1799&ebay
It claims to be genuine but I don't believe it is. That said, it's exactly what I'm looking for. I emailed the company to enquire if they had one of the saloon Accord as that's the model I have but they claimed they can't get them (or they're not made). I'm getting nowhere trying to find something like this, but if anyone else has seen something similar (I don't care where in the world it is) I'd really like to know.
Looking at the first image on the link it appears as though the Tourer has clips in the window frames that these slot in to - the saloon doesn't have these so perhaps this explains why they don't appear to be about.
Thanks in advance.

The Accord in those pictures is not on the same chassis as the North American Accord. The car in your pictures is the same chassis as the North American Acura TSX.
To get the equivalent parts for your United States Accord, you'd be looking at parts that were made for the Japanese car called the Inspire.
Many external parts for the Inspire will not work on the US Accord, but most small parts like the shades you're talking about will work perfectly find. I have never seen a site in English that offered those parts. I am sure that many of the JDM-connected Honda-Tech retailers would get the OEM parts for you, but by the time they located them, paid for them and got them to the USA in their container shipments, you will have paid too much for the OEM parts.
I think you're going to have to shop for aftermarket parts to be satisfied and not pay too much. And unfortunately, what you're asking about is not the usual thing that Honda-Tech posters are going to be interested in. :-)
