get one and compare it to your 4th gen one. Maybe an accord roof will work?

I'm pretty sure the accord ones dotn work, I read that some where.

But if the 2g Prelude ones are that cheap why not buy it anyway and try it out? If it doesn't I'm sure u could sell it to a 2g guy here on the board.

No the fifth gen is the only other option, and it requires a little modification. Have you tried your local JDM importer. My JDM place has dozens of sunroof panels 5th gen glass, and 4th gen metal panels.

I saw a glass one on Ebay last week. I think there was three available, and they were on most of the week. Keep your eyes on Ebay if your not in a hurry.

i dont know much bout the 5th gen roofs but i had a 3rd gen and now i have a 4th gen.. the roofs are completly different.. for starters the 3rd gen yes is made of glass but it is also wider and i even believe longer than the 4th gen .. the third gen also opens and slides down into the car (under the roof but above the interior roof paneling.. the 4th gen opens and slide above the roof.. there will more than liekly need to be some serious modifications to make...good luck

dude you should keep the fourth gen roof. its cooler how it goes over the top of the car. but i do think the glass would look cool if you could make it go over the top. is that how the 5th gen roof works?

Yes. That's how the 5th Gen roof works as well.
