How much $$$ have you spent on your LUDE??? - Honda Prelude Forum

01Silverbeotch · 10-23-2001, 08:08 PM

It's gonna be a year next month that I bought my 01 Silver Lude SS and I've approximately spent to $800 - $1000 on it already. I haven't done any engine work at all...it's pretty much been all aesthetics as well as a cell phone car kit ($200) and a Cobra radar ($155).

I'm wondering how much you've spent on your Lude and what's next on your priority lists...

Race ya lata,

Rod

I bought my 2001 Prelude back in June, and I've already spend about over $5000 on the mods. Too many mods to list, but my next mod will be FI. Waiting for Greddy to make a kit if they ever gonna??

I've spent too much on my car already. I've probably spent over or near $4000. Exhaust, intake, lowering, gauges, had to buy a new motor, only cause I had hydrolock in my last one, and other things, just can't remember.
