headlights: jdm vs. conversion...... - Honda Prelude Forum

djcttb · 12-23-2001, 04:16 PM

im at a crossroads. i have the following on my car....

- h23a (125k miles)
- black w/ clear coat (2 weeks old)
- full gd2k black widow kit
- skunk2 coil-overs
- ingalls camber kit (F/R)
- tokico 5-way adjustable shocks
- 17" HP Racing Hurricanes
- rear bumper modified to buddy club
- red/clear taillights
- magnaflow full cat-back (awesome)
- everything shaved (emblems, antenna, front/side vents in front bumper, hood squirters, door handles)
- full system
- dc sports r/f strut bars
- AEM intake
- dc sports headers
- and a lot of little things

now, i wanna do a headlight conversion. i have jdm integra type r (black housing) in my closet. i guy offered me $1000 cash for them (i paid $800). they have everything included. should i sell and get the jdm prelude or get another $300 and do the conversion. i listed my mods so u guys could get a picture of what my car looks like, so which would look better? thanx for any input.

o yea, i have $500 cash in my pocket. the conversion cost $800 for everything. so dont think that the extra $300 is for install. thanx

you want to put JDM integra lights on your prelude?? If so I think it would look nice, BUT if I were you i'd just get the JDM Blackhousings, and save you some money... Just My opinion

can you post a pic of your car...i just wanna see what it looks like with the front vents shaved...thanks..i was thinking about the same thing....i found this front bumper that takes away those vents but dont know where to buy those...thanks...

if you have money to waste, waste it. id do the prelude jdms. i think they look better too.

OutlawLude · 12-23-2001, 07:15 PM

I think the JDM prelude lights look better, but if you wanna get rid of those fugly vent things in the middle, then go with the ITR lights.

pludeben · 12-23-2001, 08:08 PM

do the itr lights, ive seen a picture of it and it looks really clean...and its different

djcttb · 12-23-2001, 08:21 PM

i dont have any recent pix of my car. only one when i first got my kit put on. heres a pic of my friends civic w/ es300 headlights and gs400 fogs. he has the side vents shaved. thats where i got the idea.

djcttb · 12-23-2001, 08:25 PM

heres my car when it came out of the shop. its w/ my friends crappy digi camera. this is w/ only a kit and old rims. sorry for the quality.

you get the point.......

OutlawLude · 12-24-2001, 09:26 AM

djcttb · 12-24-2001, 11:37 AM

I seen the conversion of jdm itr lights on a prelude, it looks very good!! If you plan to put your car into shows then i would do the conversion. If not, then just stick with the jdm lude lights.

djcttb · 12-24-2001, 08:39 PM

well, ive come to the conclusion to do the conversion. it will be my daily driver/show car. im not gonna go all out, i jux wanna nice/clean car that is unique at the same time. im selling when i turn 18 so no biggy.

Outlawgirl · 12-24-2001, 09:35 PM

Oh my god that looks mean as hell, I think I am gonna do that now!!!!!!

shadowZZ · 12-26-2001, 06:40 AM

It should lookreally good, like the 935 draggers wite prelude,if you have money to spend and you already have the lights I'd do it , what would even be better is if you got HID with it too!
