Just wanted to say hello. I am new to the forum. I didn't see a room for intro's, so sorry if this is out of place.
I've joined this board to gain better knowledge of my beloved Prelude I have a firm grasp on aftermarket parts, but I am no techy...
I purchased it in full September 08 and absolutely love it. I've always wanted one. It's still all stock except for a muffler. I do have lots of questions, but am currently browsing the site...
I will post pics of it after I get my front bumper fixed. Got hit and decided to go ahead and purchase a body kit instead of spending the money to get it buffed and repainted since I plan to upgrade anyways.
My best advice for anyone who wants to learn more about the Prelude is....
read all of my threads.

I have to explain this almost daily. It's not a complex when it's accurate. :-)

oh and...not a man I am a woman.
I am very picky on looks as far as kits are concerned. I am thinking of just getting some simple front rear and side clips...gives it a bit of an edge without going all out. Saw a silver one like this the other day, not many in this town at all. He had these weird gill slits though behind the front wheels...didn't like 'em that much.
o ok sorry.the only other woman i know thats on this forum is lilredlude.im sure theres more but she's the only one i know of.so you're looking more for a lip kit than a full body kit?thats good.i myself am also looking into lip kits as we speak

Yes, lip kits...sorry, probably don't know all the "correct" terms. I have a connect that can get me parts less than cheap, so I'm excited.

Welcome, and I hope your prelude get's fixed cause we want pics!
5-spd or auto? How many miles?
Take it easy!
5spd
94.5K miles (isn't that just awesome?!) Had 73K when I bought it. Paid $8,250 cash. Awesome condition, no flaws in the upholstery or anything. I've got a couple dings from idiots in parking lots, but very clean paint job none-the-less. Darkish green; tan and black interior.
The pic is of the damage that was done from the minor bump up. It's an eye-sore...
So it would hurt your feelings to say that I'm repainting it completely? LOL I'm not big on the green...my previous car was almost the same color...need a change. I'm probably going with a deep blue (something close to pantone 2748C) or a deep purple (close to pantone 5255C).
ya ive seen a Ficus Green lude b4 and it looked very good.i also love white preludes as well.mine is black which is my second favorite color for these cars but look at pics of Kraserk's ride.its super clean and very nice with that pearl white color.a tip of the hat to you Kraserk
