hehe I think that the only real problems is that sometimes there are gaps in the headlights/bumper/hood etc....makes it look like you have a bad replica body kit. that an I've heard that if it gets damaged, you're basically screwed....no one'll touch it :: I'm sure that you could probably get the original body shop to fix it, but I'm just stating what someone else has said.
also, it gets more expensive cuz of the changes to the bumper/hood etc.....it's like this.....do you want someone else's stock headlights? or do you want FI?
A big turnoff on conversions for me was that you have to shrink the size of the engine bay, which is pretty much ruling out a turbo setup. You might be able to fit a JRSC in, and nitrous is always an option.
But I haven't really liked the conversions I've seen on the Prelude. The best ones IMO are the Skyline conversions. I'd rather buy the car (unless its a Ferrari Enzo conversion) than make my cheap little Honda look like it. One might win a few trophies at a show, but those are meaningless. The best cars never win anyways. Just my opinion.

i personally like the ludes' headlight. it's unique.
Someone did the Celica lights on a 4G... didn't like it too much. As for our headlights, they grow on you.
But the nicest conversion I think I've seen is ShowLude's... I believe he used TL headlights. It looks so clean and nice... really fits the shape of the car. R34 headlights look good too.

Theres lots of reasons why people buy cars. Looks, power, handling, fuel economy, and reliability to name a few. So maybe he likes the shape of the body of the 'Lude, but not the headlights. What do you even care? Its not your car. Stop raining on everyone else's parade. I don't even understand why you have a 'Lude... you talk it down so much.

that's a good point...I never thought bout that
