does anyone happen to know if the foglights are any cheaper in taiwan? cuz my dad is going there for soon...might ask him to pick some up for me.

you mite find some fakers.

but in all honesty, I don't think you will. I went there last summer and preludes are non-existent. Since the only cars are there are MIT ( made in taiwan) or imported (which is $$$). So all you'll see is for hondas that is are: civics, cities, and accords.

Lots of rice there...thats about it

Well, Preludes are not imported into TW because it's 100% made in Japan.. and I think there's something about not being able to import cars taht are fully assembled in japan..

so therefore if you want to find prelude parts in TW.. WELL... GOOD LUCK... you are better off finding them in HK, since they almost got ALL THE CARS there.. hehe.. and I've never heard of replica JDM fogs tho.. hehe.. else EVERYONE here.. there... ANYWHERE will have JDM fogs on their lude...

..nope, nothing in HK either. I spent a couple months over two years trying to look for stock (JDM) parts but to no avail. the dealerships weren't even importing 'ludes by the time I went to visit them (2000-2001). anyways, I ended up combing through a lot of the various shops and garages but the only Prelude-specific part I found was the JDM door sidestep thingy with "Prelude" lettering... and that cost two arms and a leg so I didn't buy it. btw, I think Preludes sell for like double the price that they go for here in N.America.. and a full tank of gas is like CAD$100+!

Actually, most cars sell for double the price in HK because the tax for cars there is 100%.
