Wanting to build kinda-of-a jdm legend.

I was wondering if there was a place where i could get clear one piece headlights for a 88 legend., or if not, if i could get new stock headlights. also, is there a lip that would fit a 88 legend, or one that could be fab'd to fit? thanks.

I got a lip on my 88':



And as for a one-piece headlight, you could try the 89-90, but your gonna have to do some lil mod. to make it fit, especially the lights and the plug.

I already have that type of lip on my legend right now. I am talking about another one that can be fabricated to fit onto the legend because that lip to me, cant be conisdered a lip even though it is. will an integra lip fit on the legend?

I would worry that even if you could get an integra front installed on a legend, you may have issues with the v6 not getting enough airflow for cooling.

It shouldn't be too hard to get some one-piece lights on your sedan since that's how they are on '88-'90 sedans in the US.

I think the only thing that is really close to the G1 lip would be an Accord, maybe. But since you might be doing some fab, I think it'll work.

no such tings as 1 peice headlights for g1s.

G1 coupe lips fit on 86-88 sedans with a bit of shoving around. the sides are slightly lower and seems a bit more aggressive.

I'm guessing the people here that drives a G1 doesn't want to have a big lip or doesn't have money to custom make cause all the money is going into the motor to keep it alive. I'm happy with the lip I got. How big of a lip are you looking for anyways?

legend bumpers are pretty big, so its hard to fit lips from other cars on as they all come up short. trust me, ive tried.

i was looking for a mugen type of lip, but i mean my car is in legit condition, the only thing that has gone down was a oxygen sensor. it was my grandpa's and i recieved it. it was extremly well maintained, and i rarely driver over 80. i drive 5mph under speed limit, and on freeways its usually 1st or 2nd lane . i used to drive like a dumbass until my other car's engine just gave out and learned, and i regulary maintained that car. so now slow and steady = healthy car. sure i get the need for speed, but i put it on lock now. commuting college student + gas prices + maybe engine failure = not good.
