Seeing a sedan with a coupe bumper doesn't look right...

Hmm... I don't know how I feel about that look. Maybe it's the picture.

 

[webby]

personally not a fan. The bumper is just so boxy/sharp edged looking. Maybe just too used to seeing the US version, but I'm not feeling it.

Lol, I didnt even notice it was a coupe. It looks good but the flow from the bumper to the sides seems a bit off.

 

[team3d]

that's the whole point, many people think coupe look too much like a spaceship, with the bumper, it gives it a more traditional honda feel to it...

The license plate boxed area just looks bad in my opinion...and we all know about opinions

 

[FB2Chris]

Maybe if the Mugen GPs filled the wheel well better I would feel differently.

If the modulo grill was in chrome, imo it'd look alot like an Accord.
