A customized aerodynamic package designed specifically for the fifth-generation Honda Prelude (produced from 1997-2001, often mistakenly associated with the 1996 model year), typically consisting of fender flares, side skirts, bumpers, and a spoiler, modifies the vehicle’s appearance and, in some cases, its performance. These components broaden the car’s stance, creating a more aggressive and visually striking profile. Often constructed from materials like fiberglass, polyurethane, or ABS plastic, these kits offer varying levels of durability and flexibility.
Such modifications were popular during the import tuning scene’s peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s, allowing owners to personalize their vehicles. These kits offered a way to enhance the Prelude’s already sporty aesthetics, giving it a more distinctive presence. While primarily cosmetic, certain components, like spoilers, can contribute to improved downforce and handling at higher speeds. The aftermarket for these aesthetic upgrades provides a range of options, from subtle enhancements to extreme transformations, reflecting the diverse preferences of car enthusiasts.
