Introduction :)

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.

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.

Thanks everyone

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.

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).
