their 2nd to our 5th, bodies are incredibly similar between the CL and our coupe, almost to the extent that it looks like it'd bolt right up....

Even if it fit, I don't think it would work. The Navi system in the TL utilizes speed sensors and what not. I'm assuming those are run through the ECU in the TL as they are used for other things. I'm not positive on this, but that's what I'm thinking.

i don't know about you, but the two cars have completely different exteriors. the accord coupe looks like the sedan, but the cl don't look like either of them. it's proportions are all weird.

Hey the man doesnt give crap about the exterior of his car...try and stay on topic. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE ACURA DASH CAN BE SWAPPED WITH AN ACCORD DASH? To whomever first asked about the front end conversion please make your own post.

Thanx Vtecsam, at least you can read on here. I'm guessing this is gonna get me no where...New forum board for me, well at least for this post. Another reason supporting my statement, " No one on here is really serious about their Accord." Of course imma get flamed for that statement, " Well you should post in the appearance thread." - some H-T'er. Well this is Accord related so save the dumb flamin.

They're are quite a few folks here that take their accords serious. And its not a bad idea to post in multiple forums...perhaps putting this in both the accord and the appearance forum would get you the answer you want. I just don't like it when a thread goes way off topic when someone is really looking for an answer to their problem. Ohh yeah, the best advice i could give you would be to go to a junkyard, gut an acura, and just try it. C'mon, everyone likes a guinea pig . Good luck dude.

if you have the parts laying aorund give it a try! i wanna see pics after... if its slightly off, a little bit of vinyl and bondo/sanding can fix that up, and buy that cheap spray vinyl paint and itll look brand new.. gluck..

i gave up in looking for a interior swap a while ago and did this instead...

I like how the stock set up is and it looks better than having a screen roll out covering up the temp controls. Its jus more clean, Im not planning to watch DVD's or play video games either, jus for navi.
