    prelude front end conversion.

    recently when i was at my local pick and pull looking for lights and quarter panels for my exi, my friend brought up the idea of a prelude front end conversion.

    has anyone on this forum attempted this?


    i was thinking about buying the parts needed from pick n pull as they are extremly cheap and attempting to do it myself.

    also. is this similar to an 88-89 front end conversion like on the 86-87 accords

    no, the 88-89 conversion is just the bumper (as well as front signals, and sometimes corner lights, headlight trim, and grill)

    are you talking about a 90 accord? because swapping for a prelude would be pointless then. if it's a 3g, then it would be difficult, unless you have alot of know-how and resources for welding it up.
