Since I am considering finding a place to keep the ol Honda to do heavy body work while I save up for a new engine, or getting another 3g and doing mad bodywork on that.. here is my latest idea. I would like to make some kind of triangular headlight lenses similar to the Ford Focus or the new Celica/Corolla/Lexus. I think that the angularity would look sweet on a 3g and it seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to install once I had donor lenses or made some.. just hood cuts basically? I photochopped the basic shape I want and size to cover the holes from the flip-ups. oh yeah and I want to make clear tails and candy chrome them with mirrored window tint. Let me know what yall cats think..

I agree, meh. Might as well just look at a Prelude conversion, and see the results. It's a love/hate thing depending on the angle viewed from.

i knew it would be a love/hate thing, and most 3g owners are in love with the flipups. personally i like the flipups a lot, i just want something different, like one of those "what the hell is that?" kind of show cars.

Toasty, if you were to do that, your car would look like a "Chineese Simese Cat" LMAO

If you want to build a real show car you need to forget about doing something crazy and worry more about how everything blends together to make the car look good as an overall package. Quality is more important than how much you have done and how crazy it looks. It is a waste of time and money to worry about trends like headlight conversions.

msi: don't dis sagwa, he's my homey.

pearldrop: i've seen your pics and i respect your word as that of god when it comes to car show type shit. however i'm not doing this to be trendy, i honestly think triangles would blend well with the rest of the sharp corners of a 3g body.
