honda odyssey

[J-specCb4]

anyone ever noticed how their tail lights are uber familiarly shaped they look like they would fit a 90-91 cb just wonderin if anyone has tried

yup i see that everyday and that comes to mind. almost the exact same thing just a lil bigger. i thought i was the only one....and ever notice the sierra mini vans look like 92-95 civic tails?

those vans are sweet shit. In the rain my friend can burn it up through 3rd gear

the first generation odyssey shares the chassis with the 5th gen accord:




the second generation odyssey shares the chassis with the 6th gen accord:




the third generation odyssey (current one) shares the chassis with the 7th gen accord:





japan's odyssey for fun (based on the honda accord euro r aka the acura tl):






hence, when the north american accord changes, the odyssey follows suit and changes as well. it's also why it's rated highly as driving more like a car, because it's built on a car chassis.


with that said, i think the tails are going to be a bit large... but either way, it would take custom work anyway...

I've noticed the taillight thing too. Looks like the could almost fit on a 90-91. However, the part that slopes from the inside of the light towards the license is too long and the inside, bottom corner of the lamp is too rounded to fit. Also, they are much wider.

yeah it is like driving a car, and they are a badass van i would buy one, but when i go into work on thurs we have a 91 accord that was takin in on trade in the back lot and its gonna be sent off to somewhere cause its in bad shape, or i can take it and use it for parts :-/..but ill look at the demensions on a set of the tails in parts, i dont think they would work but im curious just to check.. :-p

i looked today on the 2nd gen we have in the back, and then on the 05'ers, and they are monsterous compared to the 90-91 tails lol....
