I LOVE the pop-ups on my accord, but someone at school asked me to find him a car that people with cars like us could switch the front end out with to make stationary headlights. I was looking for cars to buy before Kicker1_solo offered up his car, and I came accross this little beauty. A 1989 acura legend. I am not sure, the front end looks a little too 'sleek' to work, but if it dosen't work, I don't care, this kid is rich, he has all the money his parents give him. Well, here's a pic of the car, tell me if you think it will it (ps: this will NOT be going on my future 3g, I LOVE the pop-ups!!! :) )

If it is too sleek for our cars, it may work for a 3g prelude. They area little sleeker.

I would search, but you know...

Someone did a Legend rear end conversion to our cars so the front would not be too difficult. Of course some JDM and some Euro 3Gs came without popups, they kinda look like an 88 Civic on the nose.

You mean the stationary headlights in Europe and Japan, they ooked chunky, and gross, like hte frontend of a Geo Metro. If you are ging to do a front end conversion, I would find a car with a great looking front end anyway. The legend hasa nice front end, and the cars are very similar is width and height. Why do a motor swap?

the fronts of the legends especially those sedan ones dont look that "cool" if i were doing a conversion like that i would go with the 2nd gen teg conversion

i don't get the point....
If you're going to switch to a legend front end why don't you just buy a legend?? They're in about the same price range as the 3gee and you get a stronger car.

Hmmm, was that a del Sol or CRX? It's kinda tough to see the backend so i'm really not sure how long the whole car is.

yep that's a del sol vtec.

from what i can see it has 6th gen accord fenders and front end with headlights and nissan 300zx leather seats. wow those seats look nice. i like the supra seats as well. both the older and newer supra seats. i like the candy jade green paint and yellow marble graphics but i dont like the reptile scales.
