I should have been more specific, the sedan taillights are hideous and everyone I talk to hate the coupe tails as well until I tell them the heritage behind the design.
And yes, I think I'm going to put a lawn chair in my trunk so I can relax while everyone else works on their cars. We do have it made well with these Hondas.

Arent the headlights the same for all 6th gens? And yeah the coupes taillights are reminiscent of the NSX.

1. blind spots also but i purchased the blind spot mirrors 3 days after purchasing the vehicle so thats not an issue anymore. 
2. not feeling the take off AT ALL on the I-4's. I NEED TORQUE!
1. Are the blind sport mirrors from Honda or what? My mirrors don't "click" into place anymore, they just swivel freely, which sucks when a gust of wind blows your mirrors in... I'm looking to get either M3 mirrors with the LEDs.
2. You need to go drive some other I4s out there... the F23 is torqy as balls! Specially the manual.
Velocifero, I think he's referring to the 01-02 tails when they moves the signals and back up lights to the bottom instead of the top of the light.

Thats funny because everytime I see them on the road, I always debate to myself which style I like better. After doing this for some time, I think I prefer the first style with the turn signals up top. It looks more like the Euro R, Type R style of tails. Maybe its me, but it seems there less red lights too. I dunno maybe my OCD just prefers the turn signals to be above the brake lights or somethin. I also think I prefer the early style front end too with the one bar in the grill and lower bumper. This is from a 5th gen perspective.

the 01-02 tailights remind me of the JDM look actually...i don't know. i am the same way when i see them and i think its a tie but i'm more on the wannabe JDM look(red on top,white on the bottom)
and i like the coupe backs ONLY if it has a spoiler, because without a spoiler it just bothers me. whenever i see coupe's with no spoiler, i feel like something is missing when i look

Seeing those mirrors makes me want to kill the driver. I'd rather strain myself to double check over the shoulder before putting those on my car.
