Very nice. Looks like you put a lot of elbow grease into your car. Respect.

What kind of spoiler is that? and what's on your hood? I think I've seen that before and from what I remember, it's insanely rare.

Looks great but you need more low, JDM fogs, and Type-S lip to match that grill and wing. If you got the cash some retrofits would look good too. Keep up the good work!

Do clear fogs but yellow bulbs. Looks stock until you power it on, then its yellow

Considering the above new york asian escorts mentioned, we can come to the conclusion that to give up wisely is a kind of new york escorts more mature life attitude. Though giving up sometimes is ny escorts painful and costly,in the long run what we nyc escorts gain will definitely far out weight what we lose.

Don't bother with Type S headlights, they're the same exact thing as USDM headlights. They will also be ILLEGAL in the states because they will have a RHD beam pattern. Meaning the light will curve up to the left instead of the right, so you will be blinding oncoming traffic in a LHD country.

Search for the "fix bumper sag" thread on PreludePower.com. It's really simple to fix. There is a support bar bolted to the top of the reinforcement bar that you can adjust. If this doesn't fix it all you need are some washers to jam under the bottom bolts for the reinforcement bar.

you shouldnt be jealous pierce. Im sure yours looks much better than mine even after this paintjob. and anyway, the paint on a prelude may fade over time, but its soul will never do the same. lets rejoice at the fact that we are owners of such a car
