Im looking into a kit for my 01 prelude and i was wondering if anyone had trouble with fitment when they went to attach it and if so which companies would u recommend to stay away from or get one from?

 

well...what's been my experience with them, is get a reputable company (ex VIS) to buy your kit from. Some companies mold look-alikes, and they are sometimes cheesy.

when you put a bodykit on, 9/10 chance it wont fit perfect...like your OEM peice did. You have to bond-o it, sand it down, just 'touch it up' to make it look natural. some kits are severly warped, bent, or have ugly spots in them. i knew i guy that had to send his kit back to JTAUtostyle 7 times before he got one that somewhat fit.

also, beware that if you mismatch kit parts, make sure the body lines are similar if you dont, you might be in for a big surprise!

hope that helps...if not, post away.

 

try not to buy fiberglass. fiberglass kits dont fit good and they break real easy, poly urethane kits are the only way to go.

 

if you wanted urethane, youre gonna have to go with the lip kits like oem, ww, and greddy. i havent heard of any manufacturers making a urethane bumper for the 5gen yet.

 

Since it's so hard to find the OEM kit now, I'd say go get your self a greddy front lip, it fits the 5th Gen preludes nicely, paint ur sideskirts(if you have a base model), and then your set. I think it is a very affrodable setup.

 

I say buy somethen from Wings West they say its OEM fit and its Urethane. I have there rear end and like it but have the black widow front (whoch did not fit well) also the back widow sides which fit fine.

 

thanx all of you for insights
