Default JDM integra front end on Prelude?

Do you think this is doable? are the widths similar?

Well I am not a fan of many front end conversions, but this idea had been up in my head for a little while... Here are some lousy chops, i could not seem to find any good angled pics.. but if any owner wants , ill take them down...

LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK OF THE IDEA... I think it looks pretty different, and im 99% sure its never been done b4





please do not move to a/c (its already threre).. i want to get prelude guy's ideas

not a fan of conversions either.
they just end up looking mega ricer.
just wondering why you'd wna do that to a perfectly well built lude in the first place.
i say stick to lipkits.
can't go wrong with those.

here's a clean skyline conversion with lights.
dont' really like conversions much but propz to this dude.

There was a red fifth gen from SD that hung out with the Speed Alliance guys that had a JDM integra front. It didn't really look right They took the picture off their webspace... I wonder if I can find it...

That is really clean as expletive for being a crazy mod. I really like that idea more than the ITR front end.

Darkbb4, your prelude is awesome as is. Don't waste the money on something dumb like that. Why don't you just buy a junked Dc2 from a junk yard and invest into a project. Track Dc2 boosted. You can pick up a junked one for prolly less than $500, do the 98-01 front and rear conversion, drop a b18b in there( another $500-700), boost it ($2,500-3,500)and run high to low 12s in it and still have your bb4 as ur super clean DD. Good project and you seem like you know what you're doing as far as building up hondas. Don't waste the money on a conversion on the lude. Keep it as is!


oh, I still have my Ej8. It's a long story, I sold it, then the kid that bought it used a fake check, I lost my money, now I have to sell, turbo manifold was damaged. Lawsuit is gonna come into effect once I find out from the attorney. Car needs to be re-tuned cuz he fucked with something else, but idk yet. Pm me if you wanna know details, but its still for sale if you're interested

well, IMO, the bb4's already have an ITR resemblance. So do the accords, that's why you should just work with what you have. Stick with what ya have Darkbb4. Your current setup is FTW, actually, anything other than your current setup would be FTL! Your car is amazing
