I see some gen5 ludes with dark grayish black skirts, are those factory ones that are not painted?

or does all gen5 preludes now come with those default?

or did somebody add the OEM and dind't bother painting them?

cuz in the PRELUDE booklet the colourful book honda sends u for advertising the prlude that book
it shows a silver prelude with that dark blackish skirt too

so ??? im talking about here in canada if that makes a difference

So far as I can tell only SH and OEM kitted Preludes come with the painted skirts. My 99 Base has black sides and rear.

All BASE models have those side sills and rear sills in matte grayish/black, all SH models and SE ( i think) come body colored match. Hope that helps. If I'm wrong with the SE in Canada, someone please correct me.

97blacklude

U r right The SE model is the SH model here w/out the Atts

user604

but are those black side things the same as the OEM skirts?

or do they take those off and put the OEM skirts oN?

97blacklude

IF u r talking about the OEM body kit they take off the plastic moldings and put the kit pieces on.

If u r talking about the SH moldings it is the same way

Correction: SE side and rear sills do not come body coloured.

R u sure I thought i was the SH w/ leather, SH rims, and spoiler, and painted sills

Yup. Take a peek to confirm: http://english.honda.ca/models/carco...s.asp?Options=(102)&TrimID=17&Residual=1000&NonResidual=0&colour =Premium_White_Pearl&v_Fr=config&v_To=warranty#Ext erior

As far as the other options are concerned:

Everything the Canadian base has +
- CF trim
- leather
- SH rims

...all for an addtional $500 CAD!

p.s. The SE doesn't come with a spoiler either.

oops! I just realized that I didn't copy the link properly. Needless to say, just check out honda.ca and personalize your prelude...and check out the specs of the SE

oh i c
so that means all those 2001 preludes here come default with the ugly black looks like plastic thing on the bottom right?

hm....its sooo ugly...but i might not get the OEM kit yet....can i tell them to get rid of it??

or should i just get the OEM kit from them when buying.........do u think they will give me it for free?

I really like the OEM kit on the 5th gens. If you're buying from a dealer, kind of hint that you don't really want the car unless it has the kit. They'll do almost anything to make a sale, but I highly doubt you'll get it for free. Maybe discounted though. Good luck!

U might be able to cut a deal or knock down some of the price and if they don't buy it from www.hparts.com or www.handaccessories.com for cheaper prices

this topic is 5th-gen SPECIFIC. Moving....
