I have seen it done on a 4th Gen.

Lame if you ask me.

I have seen it done on a 5th gen, it looks ok. It was in a mag a while ago, it was
a 'skyline' blue lude, it might have been in an ad. My friend still has the picture, Ill see if I can get it next time I go to his house.

To a 16 year old, plenty of things are wrong with the lights. They're just not cool enough, man! Besides, skylines rule, and if you make the prelude lights look like it, then the prelude will rule... i guess
Off subject kinda, I saw my old Mercury Tracer today - which I sold to a high school kid. He's got some dark dark tint, a loud muffler, and big Hella foglights on that beast now. HA! I about **** myself. It would have been cool looking if I was younger. Too bad it's only got 88hp.
As it is, I'm just like... "damn I could have gotten another couple hundred bucks from him for my car!"

yea, i saw guy who did a custom(bodywork) skyline taillight switch on cardomain.com. it was a 5th gen. it looked alright in the sense that it was nice work and looked clean - but in my opinion, if there isnt anything wrong with your stock taillights, its a waste of money that could otherwise be spent on an area of your car that could make a difference in performance, not appearence .

OK i have a serious question. What is the deal with the 4 foot aluminum wings ?? are you REALLY going that fast ? or is all that down force necessary at daily driving speeds of a whopping 50 mph? im really confused on the whole purpose of a monster wing. someone help me out here.

^^ I like that. although it'd look way better with some gold volk gt-u's or work vs-xx's in gold with a nice lip. just get rid of the wing and try to make the body kit a lil bit less agresive and more subtle. the widebody looks like it was done pretty nice. and I really wish that thing had a mugen wing on it instead of that giant thing.

a wing that big isnt even needed on our cars for true road race. take a look at coreys car. 100% functional

Sam used to have that Vader wing, the double decker one. but took it off a few years ago when he realized it caused so much downforce that he topped out at 120mph.

its just cause some people have seen FNF way too many times.

thats the thing tho... some people like the appearance aspect of it more than performance... most of the members here are all about performance tho, so everyone that likes the appearance more gets flamed broden your horizons people.

it doesnt look horrible on that 5th gen posted earlier... id never do it, but it doesnt look as bad as some conversions ive seen

Exactly, why spend tons of dough to make ur car look like something it will never be when you can save ur hard earned money for the actual car u want to replicate. BTW, huge aluminum wings + a FF car =

It looks "ok" to me, but for what it costs to do it I'd rather spend it on the engine or suspension
