I would think that they are most likely different. The chasis are two different widths. I would say prob not.

i talked to a guy that said the accord used the same rack, is there any truth to that?
I would just find a prelude rack but i can't find any preludes 4 parts

I don't know if that is true or not I was just looking up the part numbers for the prelude and then I cross referenced them and they did not cross with any other cars. It might fit, but it was not the same rack. I have no way of finding out if it is interchangeable or not, sorry. Maybe you can take yours to the junkyard and compare it before you buy it or remove it.

The 88s had 3 different racks depending on what the VIN is. I would say probably not, none of the 3 part numbers match or cross reference.
