Body Kit Help - Honda Prelude Forum

I just ordered a Greddy Ti-C catback exhaust and was wandering about some body kit websites or any suggestions.
I have talked with an experienced lude owner and he said best thing to do was to go with a front bumper polyeutherene(spelling is horrible) and side/rear could be fiber glass..
So any advice or websites where i could get polyeutherene and other body kits at would be greatly appreciated... I have all stock kit and suspension right now

The only "kit" that most people on this board will advise, is the Mugen one.
Try to keep the rice dial as low as possible (pointless "air vents" and curves are just ugly)

But, style is completely your choice.

The short answer to body kits, is you get what you pay for. If you want to go cheap, and end up replacing countless pieces, go with fiberglass. If you want durability, and long-lasting looks, go with poly. If you want an extremely durable kit, go with carbon fiber; however, it is VERY expensive.

as for sites; google is your best bet.

Wings West, VIS, and Seibon make some of the more durable kits.

If you just want to see what styles out there, andy's auto has a decent photo gallary:

One other note- the ebay kits are about 99% crap. they charge $400 for the kit, $400 for shipping, and you end up with a kit that will fall off before you can drive to the paint shop..

just my -0.02.

Allright thanks, yeh mugen is too common for me.. I am going for the unique bad ass lude look.. I was going with poly front bumper as thats the most common thing that gets damaged by potholes n such..
Nice link i will look into that and google probably, I have been looking at the wrong sites lately :P
