Could be worse...but since the c/f hood is free, I bet it is crap.

Screaming rice to me.


If you want a different look, JDM is much better and a little more 'understated' compared to this unaerodynamical urethane pile of ****.


After looking at it... I think the basic front lip would look good on a stock front end without all those stupid Home Depot gutterguard vents. Reminds me of an E36 M3 GT lip(or US M3 Lightweight lip).

i had a chance to get a free octane (like in the picture) from import fan for my accord a long time ago and the customer service was good with me. they were giving me the kit and hood for a discount if they used my car for a photoshoot. i also almost got hired to work for them but i never called back for their second interview because i didn't feel like working at another car place. heheh they seemed good to me. up to you man. if u think its a good deal, go for it. dont listen to anyone here because pictures like that seem to bring people's negative comments. seems like body kits is a no no here in honda-tech.

get it, keep the hood, sell the kid to some riceboy for what you originally paid for. What's so hard to understand about that?

Exactly.

I have seen that bumper on the current gen Preludes and I actually like the way it looks on the Prelude.

oh you have a type r...thats right. ummm....actually yea...dont' do it to your itr. your car's value will definately drop sick! maybe if you had like a ls or a shell so start with than yea. do whatever you want to it. but you have a really expensive car and i wouldn't want that to happen to it. just work on your motor with that money or somethign else. stock itr exterior is beautiful as it is.

Yup.

Seriously, don't even think about the c/f hood part. It must be fiberglass with a thin sheet of c/f and probably doesn't even fit well.

Well...after shipping lets say $300...then you gotta paint the bumper and install it (if it fits at all). That's another $100-150 depending on job. So $450 is getting you a cheap bumper and cheap hood.

Don't you feel like your car deserves better? Just get a good c/f hood if you want something different.

nothing wrong with kits.. we can't always all look the same.. i dont know why everyone thinks JDM is the only way to go.. i see jdm in s. cali at least once a day..

don't listen to all the "that's too ricey" talk the R boyz'll give ya.. it's all about style and what you like. if u actually did get that kit.. i'd spray the grill black.. in the end other's opinions won't matter.. it's not like you're doing a geo metro front end conversion or anything..
