ok, heres the info, the front in rear convershion is off a 2000 prelude. the paint is a pearl sky blue. the pictures do not do the paint job justice. it looks hot at night when the light hits it. the convershion cost me $3500 for the front and back, paint of car and jams, puts fixes for a dent in the rear qurter, the common rust spots, elimination of door handles, side moldings, and antenna. it took about 9 months to finish cuz my shop took there time. to mare the light fits they had to cut out the lighting part of my raidator support and weld in the part for the 2000 prelude. the back was custon fabricated that the hood was modifyed to come down. the guy also added a little to the hood scoop type thing. any other questions?

Dude, that is sweet. I love the color, and those tails.

**markmdz89hatch** · 08-23-2002, 07:24 AM

looks hot! can't wait to see it at the meet on sunday!

Just one thing, by the looks of the pics, it seems like all that molding and shaving has made those bumpers look way out of place. Thinking about doing some custom work there too?

**89NinjaAccordLX** · 08-23-2002, 07:26 AM

I likey. But I dont likey. Well maybe my likeys outweigh the dont likeys... Nice job GETTING IT DONE for one thing. Wish I had the money/the time/the hookups to get it done. The taillights look phat, I'm lovin that look for the hatch. Now im considering doing it myself lol (but I have a sedan). Oh yeah, small things I dont like... first the front grille that goes on the hood... I liked the look of that on our cars. I'm sad to see it go. Needs rims but sheet I'm sure you're short of cash right now and already knew that anyways. Other than that... Its cool. Overall I like it. I want to see it in person though.

i wont be at the meet , i am picking my head up from the machine shop today but the car is not registered

**chronicsinners** · 08-23-2002, 09:54 AM

the back is acceptable but the front, nope... looks pretty piss poor, workmanship is good. but overall doesnt fit the car. I dont like, but your car your money...

**Mike89Accordcom** · 08-23-2002, 10:04 AM

I bet when you roll down the road people are like wow, what kind of car is that. That's cool, because it's an accord, but people will think it's a lude.

**Jdub07** · 08-23-2002, 10:07 AM

Well I know you don't like when I talk because I kill all the "good" posts hondavtec but I still want to give my .02 on your ride. I think the rear looks awesome, The front looks really good too, yet there is something with the front bumper that makes it look a little off, maybe a little square. But on a hatch all and all it looks good.

now that truly sucks about the meet, but hey, there's gonna be more to come in the future.

hey hondavtec--> I forgot to ask about one thing. Where the hell are you gonna put your license plate? ...and do you have any plans for the bumpers?

**Site** · 08-23-2002, 10:21 AM

That is so unique! One of the most original cars on the board in appearance. Great job, man - way to take risks! Now you know that your car stands out.

jdub, i was only messing wit you, the bumper may look a lil off because its not a hatchback bumper, its a coupe bumper, they are a lil different. thanks everyone for the comments, to tel you the truth i even think the car looks funny in the pics but then you see it in person when it has the bumper lights in with the drop in the c2 it porporstions the whole car out as for the lince plate i have to lae a custom frame to go into the window

**89BlackH-Back** · 08-23-2002, 09:41 PM

damn i wanted to do that the first week i got my car but i couldnt afford it

**YK86** · 08-24-2002, 01:19 AM

High points for the custom work. I like the rear but I've never liked the 5th gen Lude's front end so I'm not too big of a fan of it on any car. I'm sure it looks nice in person. Just curious, does having no more grill/opening on the hood affect anything (like engine temp running abit higher than normal)???

**2Fast_Fiero** · 08-24-2002, 01:46 AM

I love the rear end, not a big fan of the front cus it looks like that lil blue guy off of that movie Lilo & Stitch

But talk about a real head turner! I'd love to do those tail lights to my car.

***carotman*** · 08-24-2002, 02:19 AM

1 word describes it all.

AWESOME!

**3_GENCYCO** · 08-24-2002, 03:59 AM

i love the custom work...but, the lude headlights just don't do it for me. good job, though.:super:

**SQ is the SQUAD** · 08-24-2002, 03:17 PM

wow, hearing all of you comments have made it worth the money i spent already, i cannot wait to hit the shows, my goal is to bring home a trophy oneday, i never won a trophy for anything. at first i was gonna go with s2000 tails but everyone whgo had a set wanted too much money for them and since i was able to get the prelude tails for free and they were almost like the accord ones i went for it. as for the headlights, when the prelude first came out with those lights i thought they were the ugliest thing i had ever saw, but once you see them on a hot hooked up car they dont look that bad. about the grill i dont know, i havent been driving the car, my head is in the shop now getting some work on it. i have been thinking about getting a 2000 grill put in with a carbon fiber layover

**Bobs89LXi** · 08-24-2002, 06:08 PM

I give you kudos for the time, money, and effort you put into it. However, to me, both the front and rear ends look out of place. I have to honestly say that it's not my style. What matters though is whether you like it or not. I have to agree with Yasu on the 5G Lude headlights. I never liked them. I will give you an A+ for effort.

**87accordlxi** · 08-24-2002, 06:37 PM

i agree with bob. props on doing all the custom work, but it all seems out of place, especially the front. the headlights look crosseyed. i do like the color, but im not sure if it was a good choice for a car as angular as ours. in any case, you like it and its bound to win some awards for all the hard work put into it. good work!
