5g to 4g skirt / rear lip fitment

JohnnyB · Post by **JohnnyB** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 12:02 pm

Ok, so I've been away for a month or so on enforced leave, a lot of which was spent in intensive care

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

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

Thanks in advance

JB

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

the skirts turn out at the front on a 5g as well

Sorry to hear that Johnny, that's not much fun

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

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

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

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

wont cost as much as getting them imported theres a guy not far from Nafe that will do it
