CL Platano

This guy I know does crazy conversions. He turned a 94 Toyota Tercel into a 3 series Bimmer. I was thinking about putting 5 series lights on my whip.

Any Thoughts!!

so...?? still.. it doesn't look right.. and that's accords..

oh well.. it's ur car, u can do whatever u want..

they're was a few people who switched out their lamps for other lamps... but it always looks awkward because it doesnt really go with the flow of the car...

in my oppinion.. it would be a waste of money and time..

besides.. the first gen CL lamps are awesome! plenty of ricers trying to get their hands on a set

You're much better off doing a projector retro, blackout the headlights or do your body color if black will clash with the car. I'm a body color fan, but that's just me. I like the look the new 360 Modena's have and the new Vettes.

Cheaper, less time, and will work better with the look of the car IMO.

If you have the money and you like the look go for it. You are the one who has to live with it. Does not look to bad to me, I have seen much worse on this board. It would just add a little more variety to the CL world.

Where?

CL Platano

It shouldn't be too much just have to be patient with the body work. The lights are only $400 w/ the harness at the dealer. The guy who will be doing the work did this whip. A Eclipse with Skyline lights and Supra rear.

that custom job will be like at least over 2k

CL Platano

It will be $1,500 - $2,000 it can be less if I buy the paint myself. The guy is a team member of a friend of mine.

When you start chopping cars together, it just starts to look awkward. I say, skip the conversion and find another possible mod to attempt.

i say u should get keep ur lights the way it is and custom fit a nice bumper that is different.

That is ugly.

I never seen that kit on anyone's car on this site though.

FreshCL

all depends who's gonna do it for you, im was thinking the same exact thing... do it! or IS 300 headlight, headlights itself going to break you already..

dude, theres a lot better stuff to do with that much $$

Motohip

It sounds like he's very insistent on this conversion, so let him do it. If you do do it, get small headlights.

sumdumguy

he keeps em clean tho

CL Platano

This is my boy's prelude with the IS 300 lights it's a bad pic but you get the idea

CL Platano

It's not that I'm insistent it's just you get sick of seeing the same ol thing. Wings West kit, 18" or 19" wheels and that's it. I probably won't end up doing it because the chance you take of it not looking good, but it's just to look outside the norm and see. With that money , my options were to do the light conversion or turbo it up. My boy also has a turbo kit from his old accord he can give me.

nippon_wa

there was one guy who did the s15 conversion.. it was good.. but wasn't really do good job on it.. so... well.. for CLs, stock is the best.. w/ that money, do something else..

cl-baller201

thats a litle too much to do for me.

Id rather keep the car lookin' like what it really is.

but if it floats your boat....sail with it

Motohip

I think the 96+ Prelude headlights will look good. Cause these two cars have the same squarish body lines. But don't just do the lights, do the whole front end. I'll try to photoshop some for you when I get the time.
