Ok, so I've been away for a month or so on enforced leave, a lot of which was spent in intensive care :oops: :lol: I'm on the mend now but have been told I'm never allowed to drink again which, frankly, is going to leave me with a fair chunk of spare cash in the bank every month :oops: :lol:

Anyway, I've seen some nice seibon carbon skirts and rear lips for 5g lude's but can't find anything for a 4g so wondered just how different they are - would it be minor changes needed to fit 5g skirts and rear lip to a 4g or would the changes needed be more drastic? I'm tempted to buy a cheapo set of standard 5g skirts and try and fit them as a test but thought I'd ask the question on here first as I'm sure someone must have tried it by now :lol:

Thanks in advance 8-)

ive seem some 4th gen ludes on preludepower that have 5th gen skirts - looks like they might need a bit of fettling to get them to fit :?

Hi,

4th gen skirts are straight and the 5th gen skirts are a bit curved near the rear wheel arch and 2 inch longer.
I see a lot of guys in the states who fit accord 94-98 skirts on preludes but they also need to be shortened a bit but are straight and bit lower

:shock:
Sorry to hear that Johnny, that's not much fun :cry:
Hope you're well on the mend now and no long term implications (aside from not being able to drink I mean!)
Glad to hear that the lude will benefit from your misfortune though ;) :lol:

Yeah I'm on the mend now, I have to go and see my consultant on Tuesday morning to hopefully have a drain removed and find out how my recovery is going and when i can venture back to work :lol:

I had a pretty nasty case of Acute Necrotic Pancreatitis which caused multiple organ failure which was a whole lot of fun as you can imagine. Just waiting for the dead bit of my pancreas to heal over now and I should be back to normal or there abouts... Another bonus is I've lost about 2 stone so look healthier than ever :oops: :lol:

It's a damn shame you can't get carbon skirts for a 4g though, getting custom ones made is going to cost a fortune :evil: :lol:
