what kind of conversion does he have in mind? i think it'll be tough because there's not really much out there that'll flow with the boxy da body lines.

if you search g2ic.com i've seen people put the jdm type r headlights, looks alright but from what i've heard it's a lot of work.

Man, this hating on the pretense that there is only one answer to what we can do with our Hondas is really out of hand on here, and contributing to the stagnance of Honda style. It's kind of started to suck lately.

Anywho...
There's definitely a cap on how far one can go with this, but there are a few up there that are surprisingly good. ie: the DC2R headlights fit astoundingly well with the overall shape, as they are nearly the same.

Yeah, with some trimming the DC2R headlights will fit on the stock DA body. Looks better than if you tried to do a full conversion IMO.

They just chopped the end of the fender near where the bumper and fender meets. I wouldn't do it, I did new 5series headlights and tails on my accord. Wish I didn't do it.

Being a DA owner, I wouldn't do it. It hideous if you ask me, keep it original. Get the JDM 1 Pieces.

Why the hell would you think BMW tails would look good on an Accord?

A DA with a DC front can fly because they look very similar where did you get hideous from ?

easy, the dictionary
Definitions of hideous on the Web:

* grossly offensive to decency or morality; causing horror; "subjected to outrageous cruelty"; "a hideous pattern of bad modifications"; "horrific ...
* so extremely ugly as to be terrifying; "a hideous car"; "a repulsive mask"
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

* Hideous is a berry- and citrus-flavored liqueur, produced by Hideous, L.C., a company based in the United States.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideous_(liqueur)

* Frightful, shocking, or offensive to the eyes; dreadful to behold; as, a hideous monster; hideous looks; Distressing or offensive to the ear ...
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hideous

* hideously - in a hideous manner; "her face was hideously disfigured after the accident. Looked like a DA with a DC front on it."
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

* hideousness - dreadful ugliness; horrible repulsiveness
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

* hideousness - The state of being hideous; extreme ugliness



i think that about says it all. Hideous was the proper description for it. S13 looks similar to a DA. Go make a DA13 lol

Hell is your point? You're just another stereo typical dunce who's trying to take a crack at nothing.

S13 are no where near the same as a DA. S13 silvia have square shaped head lights you're probably the kid who was trying to fit a circle in a block shape hole in preliminary school.

If the side profile doesn't prove that, then I can't help you.

Dumb mther fkers.

LOL at the hideous def. I think the dc jdm and usdm front look to "modern" or curved for the da's foxy boxy body.
