Check out this conversion Rob did. It's in the works, looks like it will be nice when done.

The flips look way better IMO, but good luck anyway.

Sort of reminds me of this prelude in town http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid60/p57cb70139f9904c98e1741b75c7a8f6a/fc4e6afb.jpg
I think it would look awesome on a 3g, and have considered doing it myself!

Def like the Grand Prix style mini quads over the round ones in the Prelude. Personally, I'll stick with flips. I like the lack of headlight when they're off.

I think if you put the even with the front that it would look alot nicer then haveing them tucked away inside some.. What lights are those anyway camaro? Grandprix? I would use the 96+ camaro headlights there pretty cool...

damn those pix arent workin for me now. i saw them earlier at school. neway, they kinda remind me of the 2nd gen accord for some reason. except they go in farther like the pontiacs and cameros. looks bad ass.

I thought about doing that but I went ahead and got the H conversions and I love them. I get alot of looks in the day time cause you can see the blue buld reflecting off the mirror thing what ever it is. I love the blue parking light that is inside but I am debating on changeing the color but I don't know what 2. I am worried that a cop is going to see it and pull me over for it.

i think his concept is sweet, just the whole idea of front end conversion of any kind on a 3g is hardcore, MAD props man, it's gonna look good, once that car is painted over prepare to gawk all over it, it woulda be CRUCIAL if he coulda put projectors in there, and like a glass housing type thing over the front, i still think i like those rx-7 style one's that have the flip up part removed and glass housing overtop, but yo man i'll give it to ya, it's gonna be unique and sweet!

HEY MAN........IT WOULD LOOK MUCH MUCH BETTER IF THAT MIDDLE AREA OF THE HOOD WAS FILLED SOMEHOW..MAYBE SHEET METAL OR SOMMEN....IM TALKIN ABOUT THE AREA THAT SEPERATES YOUR HEADLIGHTS...TO ME, IT WOULD GIVE CLEANER LOOK

i like the direction this is going. i'll kinda throw in my $.02, instead of the rectangular lights i would think the round heads would look tight. close up that middle part as suggested earlier, and attach some type of clear cover over the lights. kinda like the H4 heads. it's just a few ideas, as far as wether they would work in the end, im not sure. HOLLA!!!
