Hello all,

I'm looking in on attempting to put a 4th gen front end on my 5th gen and wanted to know if anyone has seen this done or know if it's posible?

 

I doubt very seriously that the fenders would line up with the doors, much less attach in the same place. I'm sure it could be done, but you would have to get in to the inner structure, and that would be quite a chore!!!

 

Why would you want to do that in the first place. Thats just my 2cents

 

seems to me like the front end is longer and shorter (vertically) on a 5th gen, plus as square as the rest of the 5th gen is, it's not going to go with the curves of the fourth gen if you just do it from where the corner lights of the 4th gen front go you might be able to pull it off with enough cutting and fiberglassing, but there's still going to be the problem of asthetics, curves on a square doesn't work well. The sharp lines of the 5th gen make it beautiful, the curves of the 4th gen make it beautiful, and the front end of the 4th gen is better than the front of the 5th and the rear of the 5th is better than the 4th, but none of that make them compatible asthetically. Let whichever be what it is. My opinion.

 

Well said, a round of applause for Jumpman83 :hi5:

 

just do a headlight conversion. Any good body shop can do it with enough fiberglass and bondo. It may not look right, but they will do it for you.....

 

yeah the only reason i was asking was because of the headlights. I saw a 5th gen with skyline headlights looks really good and i'm not too much of a fan when it comes to 5th gen headlights so i'm looking in to do a headlight conversion any pics or ideas would be great

 

quick question what motor is factory in a 5th gen and what is the jdm version of it

 

Fiberglass????

 

They only came with the 2.2 Vtec, which I think all Preludes should have come with, and I have never driven one with the Vtec.
