Ok I have a 97 prelude sh. An other then the S2000 the this model prelude is possible the prettiest Honda they made. My only problem with the car is that I do not like the front end I much more prefer the European style front end on the 4th gen prelude. My question is what all do I need to do a front end conversion on my car I have a full 4th gen prelude parts car at my disposal. An please don't tell me to search it because if I searched an found something I wouldn't be asking you for advice. Thank you for any future advice

 

I didn't even know a 4th Gen. Front clip could be put on a 5th Gen lol. Could look pretty good tho,if done right!

 

I would think you could get away with swapping the bulk head? (i think its called)/radiator support as well as the front most part of the fenders. cut and weld.

would obviously be a bit of a challenge- but to anyone that wants to work towards it, then it'll be worth the time/effort.

It's actually been done before, but i don't recall ever seeing a build or progression photos of it.

sorry i'm not much help...

 

No one on the internet is going to be able to hold your hand through a project like that, because it is completely custom and very uncommon.

It all depends on your skill level regarding welding, fabrication, bodywork, etc.... What sort of custom work have you done before? Or are you wanting to pay a shop to do this for you?

 

I think it's gonna be a hell off a welding job i wanted to do the tail swap with my 4th gen into a 5th gen tail thats sexxxy to

 

it would be cool if you can pull it off i think the hardest part would be making the seem where the door meets the fender look good

 

I wont lie...that's pretty sick. I'm having ideas of doing that lol

 

No I deffinatly want to do it myself I don't like anybody really touching my car but I do agree the welding is gonna be the hardest part but I did some welding for my buddy that had a delsol with a eg front swap I was just looking for like head lights an fog lights an stuff like that. An I mean if worst comes to worst I can just buy some fiber glass oem style fender cut at fiberglass back together an see how it works out lol but that's a last resort

 

Yea I've been thinking about it a long time cause idk I just don't really like the hole diamond shaped headlights plus they cost more then the 4th gens

 

I would... just buy a 4th gen...

 

I had a forth gen an I don't really like anything about the car except the front clip other then that nothing lol
