06 Euro R body kit

[ethankz750]

Will the 06 kit fit an 05? Will it fit if i get 06 jdm lights or can i stick with 05 jdm lights? I really like this kit over the 05 model.

no the 06 kit will not fit 04-05 unless you get a 06-08 bumper...all headlights will fit 04-08....

Ok, just to clarify I'm talking about the Euro R kit with the vents next to the fogs. Anyone got any idea how the 06 bumper lines up?

i dont know how it lines up, but the bumpers are differently shaped.

as tsx4life said, it wont work.

i found an oem bumper for relativley cheap at my local honda acura dealer. also 2NR from Jamaica has put the 06 euro r front end on his 05 and it looks pretty clean

Yes thats the only way you can pull off the Euro R kit is if you convert your front and rear bumpers to 06-08... look at the very top of this page where the TSXclub banner is... you can visually see the difference between both front bumpers of the 04-05 in white and 06-08 in grey..

If you found a 06+ OEM front bumper, then you can get the 06+ Euro R front lip. Any side skirt from 04 - 08 will fit so you don't necessarily need the 06+ one. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the 04/05 Euro R side skirts are the same as the 06+ ones. I've looked at many pics and they look exactly the same to me. The rear is the same as the front in that you'll need to match the lip with the bumper. Unless you like the 06+ Euro R rear lip, I'd suggest just getting a 04/05 one so you don't need to get another rear bumper.

Thanks everyone, I'll be getting the 06 bumper then so i can do the conversion.

If you're getting the 06 bumper, keep your 05 JDM headlights.

IIRC, ballasts line up differently for the 06-08 JDM lights than the 04-05 JDM's.
Bumper will still fit with 04-05 JDM's. Stick with your year specific headlight ballasts, unless you want to fork over a good amount of change to get new ballasts for the 06-08 JDM headlights.

^+1. That's correct. The ballasts line up are different. The 06+ JDM lights do look different though. If you're really set on getting the 06+ the you would need to modify the ballasts connection or else you would just need to buy new ballasts. The bumper issue was well addressed already.

Thanks for all the help. I will be keeping my 05 headlights, i just wasnt sure if they would line up properly with an 06 bumper and body kit.

where are you planning on getting the 06 euro lip?
