In my frantic rush to finish my car b4 '2 Fast & Furious' comes out in June...Ive come to a slight dilemma....Body Kits are quite rare to come by for us 3G-ers. Ive onlt been able to find them @ 2 websites (www.NOPI.com & www.mokotoautotrends.com). Now these kits look nice, dont get me wrong, but Im wondering if there is a way I could order a frond end bumper kit for a '90 Accord or Prelude and just slap it on there. Will the measurements add up to a fit or will there be modifications that need to be done. DOES ANYONE HAVE GOOD EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD....lemme know the clock is ticking.....:stupid:

okay the 90' bumper will actually fit, but you'll have to make some seriouse mods. I hear it's a real bitch to put on, so what you should do is take it to a body shop and let them put it on. then mold the turnsignals to the bumpther so you don't get that wierd look on it. it look around i the accord pics sections you'll find some pics and then you'll know what i'm talking about. Just mold the corner the the bumper in ther words. good luck

you can buy a 4th gen kit (which is what im gonna do) and put it on a 3Gee but it gonna take some modding. im not sure how much. i know some of the top has to be cut for the lights to go up and down properly. ill prolly just get a body shop to do it for me.

Has anyone thought of using a 90-93 integra front bumper on our cars? I think it would fit a bit better than the accord bumper because they are a little bit squarer than the accords. All we would have to do is either cut the bump in the center of the bumper off or take off the grill on the hood. Just an idea.

i have said it once and i will say it again. 4g accord kits do not, will not, and can not look good on a 3g.

if you must retrofit a kit PLEASE at least get a prelude or 86-89 integra kit so the boxy lines are maintained. im sure they would take less modification as well. :)

I agree with Chris, but i think the 90-93 teg kits woul look better than accords of the same year.

if you want to see a pic of a 90-93 teg kit on a 3g look on the thread in the pic section that says military mases blue accord and brians sweet blue accord. I got this kit done on the car 2 mths ago. It can be done but it's gonna cost a little bit to mod it.
