I was away from my baby for about an hour and half only to return to her vandalized. To ass decide to do something he shouldn't have been doing at what cost my sweet sweet lude. The damage: Her hood dented and banged up, her side left fender smashed her left headlight crushed. her airbags popped on both side yes the hit that hard and the bumper gone. and the reinforcement gone. How Could someone be so cruel? But the good news The engines in tack car still rolls like the dream that my lude is her only flaw her face has been damaged but I can rebuild her. Which why I need your help. does anybody remember the prelude 97-01 that had skyline headlight also where can I buy a Bumper reinforcement for my baby I looking to rebuild her better than every also installing different headlights does that mean changing alot of the frame or just installing a new head and changing the hood also I need help find a some cheap places who sales Honda prelude 97-01 bodyframe and bumper and heads also if your from the bay area you know cali/ SF/Oakland/San Jose and you know who does paint jobs for a reasonable price in the area or if you do it please give me a shout I have to have my baby looking good once more.

well if the costs are close, then go skyline if you like that, but it will take more modifications, all I remember when I fixed my lude is that the headlights are the one thing you do not want to break, I forgot how much they were but like 350 a pop or something like that, and no aftermarket company makes them, only oem so you are forced to pay that much unless you can find them from a wrecking yard....

You mean the headlight housing? I've seen lots of places that have diffrent types of aftermarket installs you can order from. Some $350, but most are $200-275.

Quick search on google for "prelude projector" came up with this as the first result: http://www.prolightstar.com/hlc/hd330.html $268.88

However, I have no idea what the diffrence is between the Clear Projector Lenses and the ION Projector Lenses. :dunno:

well.. skyline headlights would obviously make you dish out some money for the install.

wouldnt you rather dish out the money on some engine mods? i mean, it's one thing to have a car that looks fast and another to have a fast car.

just my .02$

if you do decide to get a new front bumper, as far as body kits, make sure you get a uerathane (think thats spelled right). Fiberglass bodykits arent the most durable when it comes to bumps and scrapes.
