plan on quite a few thousand for that kind of swap. it's many, MANY, hours of work. not to mention you gotta get lude mounts, and prolly axels. the fenders, & hood won't match up, and you're gonna have a bunch of trouble making it work.

I think it is worth it even if it is going to be a pain in the ass. That is if your willing to put the time and effert into it. I'm always impressed when i see something unquine, and thats something that i have not seen before.

Honestly man, i give you credit for wanting to do something new. But having said that......it is a WHOREible idea. The Del Sol is a very short and stuby car. The Prelude's front end is longer than a Del Sol or even a regular Civic. If those two come together.....it would look like one of those old slant-back Cadillac sedans with the long ass front. From a design stand point......ITS JUST WRONG!!!

Why do a Prelude Clip, just do a JDM integra front end, it looks like a prelud any way and would be easier.

Imagine designing and building half of a car from scratch. That's about how hard it will be.

Oh, it will look horrible too.
