The dc2 itr headlights might be kool to convert but I dont think the older integra front looks better than the prelude front end

4th gen preludes are one of the nicest looking hondas... Why would you want to mess it up with an old integra front end?

I'm sure it would require a massive amount of work, and unless you have quite a bit of experience with body work, it's not something you can do yourself. Not to mention, it would look like ****.

I agree, but whatever floats your boat. If I were you, just get some JDM headlights.

you would need to purchase a front clip (JDM type r would look ok). then get everything custom fitted to the prelude. good luck, it sounds like a huge project. the prelude front end might be alittle bigger as well.

Why bother? Just get the JDM 1 piece head lights for the 4th gen.

The JDM type R front and JDM front for the 4th gen doesn't look that different.

*shrug*

If the guy wants to spend a shitload of money for a integ front on a prelude, no one is stopping him.

good point, and after he is done, it might even be cheaper for him to buy an integra and put an h22 in it

The integra front end would look too small on the big ole 4th gen. It wouldn't look right. The first thing to think about when doing some kind of body/light swap with another car , is if they are relatively the same size. Man that would look ugly. 4th gen front ends are beautiful, the jdm lights are some of the nicest looking pieces.

Here's a shot of my buddies eg with an integra front end.

Never seen it on a Prelude though, good thing.

What i meant to say is if he were to convert integra lights, the jdm dc2r would be decent choice but not the older gen integra.

I still agree its not worth it since the prelude headlights are good looking already. Especially the jdm one piece.
