Default Carbon Fiber Side Skirts

I have a 93 Prelude and want carbon fiber side skirts but can't find them anywhere at all. I was wondering if any other car is similar in length to the prelude at least as far as side skirts would be concerned. If anyone has any knowledge on installing another cars side skirts on a 4th gen prelude it would be most helpful. Please let me know what you all think. Am I crazy and wasting my time thinking this may be possible?
Please help.

If anyone knows where i could find carbon fiber sideskirts or front lip for a 4th gen lude that would be helpful as well

Thanks.

DC2 Integra has a similar length sideskirt - I believe it has to be modified a little though.

Satan and Spoon made a carbon fiber front lip for the 4th gen. But noone to my knowledge made anything carbon fiber for the sides or the rear.

Now that's a good idea....carbon fiber frt. flip, side skirts, and rear lip. I'd go for it.

if you just want the carbon fiber look on tha skirts, fiberglassing is relativly easy, you could sand down a kit and just apply a top layer of carbon fiber with some resin and then clearcoat it.... i mean thats what I would do if i wanted CF body kit.. but if you want it lite weight... a body kit is already lite... so why would you go CF.


If you want some info on fiberglassing pm me or somthing, ill give ya a rough explanation.

Ahh you have a 4th gen.

Seibon.com makes CF side/rear skirts for 5th gen ludes.

Here, check it out, maybe you can customize it to make it fit. Or call em up and tell them to make it for you.

http://seibon.com/Products/CFB...S.htm

You better have $$$$$$$$$$ though.

Contact satn_srv (joel) for the front lip.

Or try seibon.com, they should have a front lip for 4th gens.

Wait until you are on the freeway and a tire gets thrown your way. watch the carbon fiber EXPLODE. it sucks. So far, everyone i know with a CF has had it killed on eaither A. Curb in the middle of the street (vertical speed bump) B. Freeway claimed it.

I have contacted seibon about side skirts being custom made for me and they didn't even consider it....they just said they didn't make them and that was that. Also about the lip, I contacted Joel awhile ago and he said he was makng them anymore.....the price he wanted for it was more than what you can get a seibon one for too so...seibon will be the way i go for the lip.....unless joel wants to drop his price and start making them again.....

Satan_srv,
I didn't mean anything by my comment....I just found the Seibon lip for $350 and you quoted me $400 a while ago and said that you weren't going to be making them anymore or at least for a while. I just meant that I was going to get the Seibon because I can get it now and it's a little cheaper.....
