Need help with parts list(hard to find parts) - Honda Prelude Forum

Prelude1897 · 07-24-2006, 07:02 AM

Sup everyone. Well, I've found a guy who travels back and forth to Japan and buys parts to bring back, but he usually just buys parts for Nissans. He know's alot of people out there pretty much through family, so he has a bit of a hook up whenever he needs it. Anyhow, to get to the point, I was wondering what parts are pretty rare that he could bring back that people would want? He wanted me to make a little list for him of stuff that people would actually want and buy. If anyone can help me out, that would be great, and I'll ask him to bring/ship stuff back. He's wanting to bring back whole cars, but if he can't, he'll bring parts instead....Parts can be for any Gen. Prelude or even any type of car. These are the only things I could think of.

-JDM Fogs
-Type S strut bar
-Type S front lip
-Type S spoiler
-Type S steering wheel

4th gen 94-96 fog light switch
rims
ashtrays

but its kinda hard because you can almost get all this stuff in the states (somehow)

when i went, we didn't get to go to any junkyards but i went to superautobacs and its catered to popular cars / newer cars

I'd like a nice set of 4th gen window visors if the price is right.

Prelude1897 · 07-24-2006, 11:39 AM

front bumper (no sidemarker)

I'm still looking for a set of JDM fenders and front bumper for a 97-01.

(well...more like waiting for a good price instead of the crazy ones I have been quoted

)

To add to the other list of small parts:

- 5thgen JDM cup holder

Euro/Type R Accords, motors, and trannies.

Prelude Type S Pistons, cams, valvetrains, or entire heads- new or used.

I don't even have a 5th gen and i'd buy those aluminum door sills they make for them just so when I DO buy a 5th gen, i'll have them. YELLOW, 4th gen fog light kits. actual real accord type r front lips, vin# plates (for a keychain or something), type s seats, type-s intakes, el gauges

Damn, great list guys. I'll be giving him this probably tomorrow or Wed.

HuynhM08 · 07-25-2006, 03:46 PM

I'd be interested in some JDM fogs, type-s front strut bar, type-s guage cluster. Carbon fiber dash kit, carbon fiber guage cluster bezel. What would the prices be on the items people are looking for? Is it gonna be worth it to buy it from him instead of EBay-ing it?

LowFlyin' · 07-25-2006, 08:32 PM

I had the Type-S STB and Upper Spring Perches. They were for sale in the Parts forum.

I let them go for $100.

LowFlyin' · 07-25-2006, 08:33 PM

Any R cars or parts would be easy sales over here.

chester · 07-25-2006, 08:36 PM

4th gen:

clear foglights
thrid brake light that has the "prelude" script

I'm especially looking for a BB2 VIN tag in very good condition. No one ever has any.

That's exactly what I was telling him.

I mentioned to him that if he could do better prices than most people, then it'll defenitly sell quicker. Hopefully he takes my advice and does this.
