Now if that were the case, why do people put kits on cars? It's not that I don't like the look of my car, it's that I could make it look nicer than it is.

Why is it such a big deal guys....its just headlights. I say go for it dawg, just make it clean....but i already know you will. I wouldnt put an omega (skyline R-33-esque) kit on the front though, i'd graft something made for a prelude....that way, you're still keepin it mostly honda, just with some different lights. Once again, its just headlights....... go for it!

Hey Sprung Scorp,

I don't suggest fashioning the prelude to look like an r34, that probably isn't what you want to do anyway. I just get tired of seeing Hondas masquerading as every other car out there. Not to mention, why don't they have a GT-R conversion kit for a 240, a car that would make it look like an actual GT-R??

On a more helpful note, there was a MAX POWER mag about two to three months ago in which this austrailan cat featured his Gen IV Prelude. He did a badass custom conversion. My advice is, if you truly want others to look at your car and wonder "what the hell is that??" take a look at that issue. The guy used a Predator theme to complement it. He has a picture of it in the new MAX POWER I think to. The car is green, check it out. That should help you with what you want to do....

GT-R stang

Yea it would be hard to not reconize it.  And what the fuck is with 'stangs running around with euro lights and japanese symbols all over them... damnit

NismoGear5 · 07-16-2002, 02:25 PM

IMHO, you should not do the conversion. You would be better off buying an R32, rather than spending all the money trying to make your car look different or wasting time and money. If you love your prelude so much, It would be sorta nice to see S2000 headlights. or be the first(one of the first) to put new NSX headlights.

Better yet, get a 240  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

isn't that a fairly expensive job? is there a kit, or do you have to get custom work done? if theres not kit, i'd guess the cost of the lights plus anywhere up to 1500$ (im pulling that number out of my ass)

this guy might be newer than me, but that was the best post on this thread!

And the GTR Mustang thing. The fastest kid car (meaning it belongs to someone under 30, my dad and all his friends have faster cars...) in my town is a 99 Yellow GT, with GTR badging, a GTR vinyl strip accross the front and back screens. its a nitrous car that runs 12.8... but yeah, everyone in my town is obsessed with it, and they think its the best thing since sliced bread, round here its not considered tacky at all and if you have a GTR badge your cool <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
