5th gen fenders belong on your 5th gen. But, if you insist on destroying your car, you can google 'honda prelude fenders' and see some great examples of other people who have junked their cars.

type S fenders?

just get the fake vent sticker things from kragens or autozone. they come off when regret settles in

agree on type s fenders or the cheaper route, buy side makers w/harness for $45 new and use the diy on installation.

the type s fenders have cutouts for the side markers which mount on the fenders. although all JDM fenders are like that. also, the JDM bumper doesn't have sidemarker cutouts. the only sidemarkers on JDM preludes are on the fenders.

^^^ That picture up there should give you a pretty good idea. Looks like about 10" from top and about 4" from door.

3.75in from the door, and I measured 2.5 from the top of the line on fender.
First I read the DIY on this first for some pointers and heres how it went. I printed out the templet in the thread and it measures out to be right on the button. I removed my front bumper to run the harnesses. You probably could get away with removing your splash guard and go that route. I would still go with the bumper. Use a dremel and buy the reinforced cutting wheels (never had one break on me). Be sure to measure twice and cut once there is very little room for error. I felt the templet was to risky to replicate so I made cuts I felt the dremel could handle. Just make sure you make the cut out is too small rather than to large, and trim little by little checking the fitment frequently. I cut out a very small notch on the left side not shown in the picture, for the spring clip to set in. Just look at the marker and you'll know what I mean.
