It was only a matter of time

tomegun · 11-12-2007, 09:47 AM

There is a thread called "It was only a matter of time" on the Honda Society board. I'm a member of that board because I still have my Accord. Anyway, someone on there got a Shark Fin and put it on an Accord.
Those owners have passion and I obviously think they have great cars. However, I would be thrilled to not have the Shark Fin on my 335 meanwhile this guy went out of his way to put one on his car. I think the relatively well done; I just would prefer the functionality of the Fin without the Fin.

What do you guys think?

I think that jackass should have fixed his quarter panel first before copying the fin.

Oh, you mean like the z3 gills on the civics.

I noticed that too. Also, he has black molding on the door which - if I remember correctly - indicates no power accessories. I say this because I don't understand why he would go to all these lengths for a stripped down car. Money and time could be better spent doing other things to this car.

The rims also look like replica m3 rims but a lot shittier. This guy really like to copy BMW.

I think it's stupid but at least he made it functional.

DasBlitz · 11-12-2007, 02:50 PM

I truthfully dont even like the shark fin. It is ok better than a big ass antenna. So to me it looks ugly.

But It is very creative and better than some of the shit guys here put on their cars. so I wont hate just cus its a honda.

My 328i had the bee sting, my 330i has neither, and you know what? I think both look better than the shark fin.

I think the E92 wouldn't look right without the fin.

Props to the Honda man for going way out of his way for a radio antenna. The execution was great, no one can deny that. Sure he 'ripped it off' but copying is just flattery.

Did bmw start the whole shark fin thing or something? I know the 05 RLs had them and I'm pretty sure the 04 TL had them. They're close to accords so I don't really see the big deal.
