First I would like to ask of any good sites to find 95 Prelude body kits from... And also is there a way to make my Prelude a wide body with a kit?
Ok now the important question... Would some one happen to know how much it should actually cost to put a full body kit (front/rear bumper, skirts, fenders, etc.) on my prelude???
If you do opt to get a body kit, get it painted, hopefully to match your cars color. This can vary greatly depending on if you want it just factory matched, meaning find out the color code and have a place paint it, or if you want to actually have the other panels painted as well so that the fading through time isn't as noticeable on our old cars. Also, of course it varies on if you want a place to use the cheapest paint or more expensive, it even varies on color choices, and if you buy the paint or if they do. You just have to really call different local places and get quotes.
Save money on installation. Not sure how much shops charge to install them, but most typically known body kits can be installed by you with some to little modification. I've helped install body kits on other cars and it's just as easy as removing the front/rear bumpers and side skirts. You may need to re drill holes and bolt the kit on but "most" can do that themselves, especially if a shop charges a couple hundred to install.
with body kits you get what you pay for, i learned on my 1st lude, bought an ebay kit, installed it, and it literally took me 4 hours of body work to make the front bumper look "presentable", it still didnt look good.....i bought my kit this time from sportcompactonly.com, its an AITracing kit, the fitment was perfect and it looked good, i jus have it off now cuz i refuse to sport it with a primered bodykit, so its waitin for the gunmetal paintjob
I agree with Rayslude. Urethane is the way to go. I have a full body kit (fiberglass) Molded on my 95. I just finished repairing it. It is a PAIN in the A$$. Looks good, But if it is not put together correctly it falls apart quick. So if I ever replace the full body kit again it will be urethane.
Sure urethane is good, but not all companys produce urethane, urethane isnt always smooth, heat can warp the surfaces, i like fiberglass for that reason
all it takes is you pulling up too close to a curb once, say bye bye bumper. If you get your lip kit from a reputable company it will be perfect fit and you wont have any trouble out of it. By the time you sand a bondo the hell out of your fiberglass, you are gonna have spent more than if you got a urethane kit. Seriously man, there's already too many ricers out there, dont be another.

1. Learn proper forum etiquette. Make your own thread, rather than hijacking someone else's.
2. You really want to change your 92 into a 97 body? Really? That's absurd.
