As long as it is made for the prelude then it will fit just fine.

consider this though.
fiber glass = easy to break.
paint chips easy.

I would just buy a carbon fiber front lip and some JDM 1 piece head lights.

look so much better and still be stock.

I know I don't own a skyline, I have the JDM headlights but no stock bumper to add a lip to. I have an extreme front bumper right now and I want to change it up and the only bumper i really like is the R34 bumper. Any other ideas on what bumpers look good in preludes, I don't like the invader style or blitz, and too many people have the wings west big mouth front.

id go with the R33...i personally like the look those bumpers the r34 and r33 on preludes...they look good. Yeah he dosent drive a skyline, but the bumper still looks nice. I agree with dustyweber tho...fiberglass is a b*tch.

most knockoff bumpers don't fit that well, need modification, and usually have really ugly gaps.

Yea I have an R33 bumper brand new in my basement but I dont like the looks anymore. I'm thinking about getting a stock bumper and getting a Hiro lip for it. I know they are fiberglass but they have a great look to them.
