    i like the 3rd gen prelude front end better. but if you have a 2nd gen, give it a shot. personally, i like the 3rd gen accord front end better than the 2nd gen prelude front end. but thats me and my opinion. unbolt everything and try it out.

    Well, with a welder, good skills, lots of imagination and some money, everything is possible.

    The flip lights use the same mounting method so it might ease things.

    I dunno if the width of both cars are comparable tough.

    nothin' some glass can't fix. if the prelude was slightly wider, you could abruptly end the fenders where they meet the door, without making it flow. this would leave a small gap on either side, and would be similar to the JGTP cars. haha. might look odd on a 3rd gen. or any accord for that matter. but with a lip and some side skirts, might look kinda neat. you might have to flare out the rear a bit to make it look right. but that means some wider rubber.

    i'm just throwin things out there. lol. i suppose it could be done right, but its kind of a wild idea.

    i'd like to fit the 88-91 civic/crx hoods on, the hood is dipped under rather than bolged over like ours.

    i like the 3G hood and lights much better than the 88-91 civic/crx hood and lights. i just like the flip up lights. they're... cool.
