i was trying to find some pics of this body kit idea. i have seen a lot of people doing it. you put on the ww rs kit and cut the middle grill on the front bumper. i need some pics if someone can find me some cuz i have the ww rs kit on the way and since my middle grill is f*ed up anyway, im thinkin maybe ill cut it or repair it for more money. so im not sure yet. pics would help out. thanx.
edit: btw, i already photochopped plenty of preludes. ide just like some non-doctored photos cuz it will always come out better that way.
I'd say it's good if you have an intercooler...but other than that it will just display your A/C condenser....yay. And your bumper will sag more than usual.

i dont plan to complete remove everything there. ill leave the vertical pieces on to prevent sagging. but keep those pics coming!
How the heck can you cut the horizontal and keep the vertical? They're connected/
how i just simply not cut off the vertical parts and keep it and cut around it and cut everything else.... just cut everything except the vertical, i cant really explain it any other way.
see how i have those two holes in my middle grill? thats why im thinkin of just cutting the whole thing off. why the middle grill is cut in the first place is a long story. if i was able to find a middle grill, you think a body shop could put it on? i know it wont snap in or anything but i think he can smooth out the cuts. just like get a whole middle bar from a wrecked prelude or something. or maybe ill just cut the damn thing off like machine head did.
yea, im thinkin to just do it. i dont have much to lose anyway. but im taking my car to do body work such as install the body kit, fix some rust and other small stuff. if i do cut the middle grill off. would it be possible to put a middle grill from another prelude and he can put it back on for me? like mold it back on? i know they dont sell middle grills seperately but maybe i can find it on a wrecked lude or something. or would i have to get a new front bumper?

Just kidding, as for the sagging.. I have had none.. but then again it's only been 3 months. No body shop would be able to restore the strength or ridgitity but " molding in a new peice" so once you do it the only repair is a whole new bumper...
as for pics I snapped these on the lawn of a house I was looking to buy this weekend. the owners had me park on the grass cuz the driveway had just been paved
and for posterity note the accord rear lip with accord mini mudflaps
thanx for the pics. i think its looks good. now i just gotta decide what i like better and if its worth to fix the middle grill

could u rephrase that? i didnt understand
Thanx
what I'm saying is if you cut , and don't like the way it looks, ow want to return the original strength of the center bar/supports you are going to run into some problems

o, i see. but im not going to be cutting the vertical suports so it will keep the support.
hey, that doesnt look so bad at all. its always nice to see it on different color cars. would u happen to have more pics of the front end?
and aslo, if i cut it where my turning signal is, wont it look kinda blank? if u look at the picture below
you will see that i have two different turning signals on my car. on the left, the white ones, on the right, the black ones.... if i put the black ones, wont it look kinda wierd where i cut my bumper cuz then it wont look like it matches up to the bumper light since its kinda hard to see the bumper light. ya know what i mean?
