What are you talking about? There's a lot more to do than that. The entire Prelude front end is WRONG for the S15 front end conversion. The angles are completely different. If anything you'll have to get a bondo hood, bondo fenders, and a lot of other stuff. The $9k that I was talking about was an OEM Silvia conversion.

not a fan of show cars, imo those lights should stay on the cars they were meant to be on, but jt autobody does that out in rosemead, seen s15s on preludes, integras, and esp. r34 on everything, nowhere near 9k, even paint!! just thought i 'd add my 2 cents

The thing about the Silvia and the 5th gen lights is that... Well, the front of the 5th gen is boxy and the Silvia lights are, well, sleek. It would be a LOT easier to do this conversion on a 4th Gen prelude. If you want to do it with OEM parts (by far the best) it will cost you around $9k. If you want to go with Bondo it will cost a lot less. Hell, if you think about it you're going to have to do some drastic curvature change in the front of the 5th gen not to mention relocating some of the large items from the front end of the car to get the lines to come down correctly. Changing a boxy front end into a somewhat wedge front end and costs a lot of money. But, as I said before OEM parts are expensive plus custom work to get it all to fit. If you do something, do it right. There's no way in hell that bondo will EVER be going into any car that I drive.

someone mentioned it would be eaier to do this to a 4th gen. HOw much easier and isn't there a front end that looks like this but made for a 4th gen? I'd just do that and do a JDM ITR healight conv. Maybe add some ferrari side skirts molded to the body....of course that's after the engine is running at 400hp...hehe
