Default What kind of Accord is this? Help!

Sup everyone,

I've had my 2005 Accord Hybrid V6 for 6 years now and I'm finally getting the itch to make some mods. I started looking online for some ideas and I came across some pictures of some really nice accords.

I want to change the front grille of my car like the car in this pic, but noticed a difference from my model.

two things I need help with:

1. Where do I find the grille?
2. Why is the hood shorter than mine?

Here is the pic of my model (Notice the difference in the length of the hood)

That is a Honda Inspire (from Japan). It uses the same chassis, as the US Accord. But you can't just swap over one part such as the grill....you have to do the WHOLE front end....grill, headlights, hood, fenders, bumper, etc.....

And its not cheap. I believe a whole conversion costs $2000+

Ahhhh okay. Thanks for helping me out with that. That front end style looks so much better. Dont know why they didnt do that for the US version.
