Prelude Fit XT6?


Recommended Posts

Putting a body kit on an XT would probably kill the great time and effort that the Fuji engineers put into the aero design of the car. My guess is the Cd would be miserable. Why do you want a body kit anyway?

 

Because i'm making it into a performance car

Only one way to find out.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb, and say, not without modification to either the hood or the XT.

 

Preludes and XT are similar in shape and size, but the XT is much less curved. I think the prelude hood would look funky on an XT.

they dont. most performance cars do. its a cammon mod

Common amongst who? Most true performance cars I see don't have body kits.

 

I would work on the performance of your XT before you make it look fast. Wouldn't you rather have a fast car that "looks slow", than a slow car that "looks fast"?

Since when do performance cars require body kits?

Well, duh...any car that is even remotely close to fast absolutely HAS to have a ricey look!

 

How cool would a fast car be without plastic hanging down to the ground to greatly increase coefficient of drag and look ridiculous?!

 

Take, for intance, the STi. In stock form, that is one ugly-arse car. But once you wrap it in oddly shaped plastic trim pieces (that look strikingly similar to something that would come out of a LEGO kit) the same car looks SWEET!

 

(whew...sorry for being so rude and insulting...it comes to me sometimes)

because i cant find carbon fober hood for an xt6 but i can find them for prelude

 

*COUGH* make your own! *COUGH*

 

Seriously, its not that hard and there are tons of DIY pages on it on the web. All you need is a vacuum, some plastic sheets, some resin and a few sheets of fiberglass and one of CF. Thats how most of those sweet kamakazi kits are made anyhow.
