I have an 88 Si that I am looking to put some money into. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are some headlights that would fit in pretty easily that are not the motorized flip up ones. Thanks

I also own an 88 and have looked everywhere for headlight options. Unfortunatly I have had no luck. I have seen an 87 with 03 or 04 Chevy Malibu hedlights but I know it took alot of modifying. I have also seen a few where they put a clear lense in place of the flip up and made projectors. They havent looked all that good to me though. The only bolt on option would be diamond cut. And we would still have the flip up headlights. Let me know if you have any luck

I've always wanted to see a 5th gen conversion done on a 3rd gen..

I think.... If someone really had the cash, they can try the flush mounted headlights conversion on a Prelude. It's been (over)done on Rx-7's and MR2's before. They just use the mold from the old flipup headlights and make a lexan or polycarbonate cover from it. Then, inside, they make a new headlight assembly. I imagine the results looking pretty similar to the 5th gen, save the obvious shape difference.
