Default Prelude = accord?

hey guys, I recently bought a 1993 prelude vtec but it came with some ebay/lowes modifications.(i.e. intake from ebay w/out carb sticker with some attachments from lowes, a hacked exhaust frm 3 different systems) and is in need of replacement parts. anyway, it has been impossible for me to find stock parts for my car to pass somg because somehow all the junk yards, part shops/yards, and salvage yards I have been to and called do not have 4th gen preludes or carry any parts for it either. So now to my topic... do certain year accords have similar parts to my prelude? if so what year and parts? Also I'm on a really tight budget due to job loss and can't really afford aftermarket or to pay off some guy to pass smog. I just want to pass smog legitly so I can get the new title for my car.

If you don't have any money to fix it, then you shouldn't have bought it.

None of the items you listed are compatible with Accord parts, at least in a CARB-compliant manner.

Haha glad to be a part of it. yea I've been looking at those sites but ppl like to screw you over by overpricing things or not telling you that there was something wrong with the part.
