WISHIHADNAV...I love my prelude too! I bought it new in 01 and it has been a great car. Its only got 75K on it and its super clean in and out. It will be tough to sell it knowing some young teenager will probably buy it and destroy it...tear,tear. I just turned 30 so I need some sophistication and power!

I've noticed (maybe someone can answer this) that the NISMO front end is different from the base in that the base has fangs and the NISMO doesn't. Is this accurate? And if so, wouldn't I have a hard time adding the front NIZ aero to a base model? Would you have to do a full bumper swap?

YOu will have to swap the whole bumper out. You can look at my avatar to see the front nismo bumper.

The nismo kit is not a lip kit.

thats what I thought...also for the aero vents on the rear bumper. It seems like the cost of swapping and the cost of material (kit pieces) would add up and not make much sense. It would just be easier to buy aftermarket lip kit instead of the NISMO kit.
