I'm planning on fixing up my prelude with the next 2-3 month. My dad has offered to get my 1997 Honda Prelude Type SH repainted. I'm thinking of repainting it Nighthawk Black Pearl or some varient of black. Any ideas of a black that's better than Nighthawk Black Pearl? Could some one please post a nice pic of a prelude that still has a nice glossy Nighthawk Black Pearl? Thanx ^_^
I have a budget of around $2,000, my dad'll take care of the cost involve in painting.
Some of the mods on my list; I would appriate it if would give me some tips on what to buy
Definitely Going to Buy:
JDM Prelude Type S Fog Light Kit 220HP BB6 H22 Type S S Spec
JDM Prelude BB6 Type S "ATTS" Emblem (Front)
JDM Civic EK9 Type R 96-00 Prelude BB6 Side Markers
AEM V2
Nology Sparkplugs+Wires
Thinking about buying:
JDM Prelude Type S Front Lip Spoiler 220HP BB6 H22A S Spec (Nighthawk Black Pearl B82P)
JDM Prelude Type S RED Valve Cover 220HP BB6 H22A S Spec
Mugen Kit
Vis Eyelid
I'll try to take some pictures of my ride tomorrow ^_^

budget of 2000? screw all of that, get a cheap used JRSC for about 1000, use the rest for hondata used (500ish), and keep the 500 to cover tuning/misc. costs. I don't recommend going in with JUST 2k, but if you save another 500 or so, and had a good tune, you'd enjoy your car a lot more. just my 2 cents
edit: or if you want to keep going visual, you can have me build you a set of projectors
yeah but it's not really sold as "diffuser for prelude", it's more of a universal thing I believe, and people stick it on. it flows well with the mugen front, looks like crap otherwise IMO. don't have pics, but i know carol's lude has one girl-na-lude or something.
once again- think REALLY hard about all you're missing out on by blowing your 2k on a body kit, and appearance mods.
Thanks alot for the advice Emerald but I've thought it through already. My mindset is to tackle the exterior>interior>engine then sound. So maybe I'll get a super charger by this time next year ^_^ so for now, tell me how it feels
It feels awesome sitting in a box in my room, since I'm in college, and don't have any time to install it. And incidents like my hood flying back and smashing my sunroof, and placing a few dents in the top frame haven't helped the financial outlook either. I'll let you know this summer
What about suspension, you can spend about 500 and get an awesome kit [tokico]. That's a good performance/appearance mod. If you're going to have all this crap on your car, definitely going to need a drop.
IMO.. Preludes look clean as they are already.. don't need no damn bodykit to make them look good.. if you're really itching to get a bodykit, spend it either on the OEM lip kit (I want one soo bad), WWRS kit (I have, but selling front and rear lips), or a mugen kit (which a lot of people have).. that sideskirt and spoiler you just posted up's soo damn ricer its not even funny.. but what can i do, we all have different tastes.. but that one's just nasty 2fast2furious like
If you are thinking about doing a bodykit in the beginning, you definitely need to work the suspension first before anything else....you do not want to roll around in a Prelude with a bodykit & high spoiler riding on stock height and wheels.
^^^^ hahaahah yeah.. exactly why preludes gets hated on sometimes because they are honda which is the company that produces civics that some people fcuking rice up with all the damn stickers that adds "magical" horsepowers... .. like this one civic.. i was at autozone parking lot tryina fix my friend's 240.. and this civic with graphics on the side with his girl in the car revved at me.. wow.. wtf..
You have $2000... be smart about it.. $2k's a lot of money.. if you want looks.. i'd definately drop the car first.. and thats it.. fcuk body kits get that later.. go b4 u show IMO.. but i have a feeling another prelude's gonna ricer up im liking some of the jdm stuff you want to get though
I agree with the suspension if you are still on stock... I would also get the type S lip and maybe the fogs. Call it a day with the exterior and start saving for your interior or engine mods.
Im in agreeance with all above...but man its your car, do what you want....we will all shed a tear for her though.
Save your money on the Intake though....get a SRI or a CAI from AEM.....IMO the V2 is a waste. For the extra "2 ponies" I think it makes its not worth the extra 100 price tag over the CAI......Or just get something bent to your style and Thermal Wrap it.....same if not better gains and youll save yourself some money there if you want all out power.
If I had 2g to spend on a Lude no questions asked.....H&R Springs with either Koni Revalved Yellows or KYB's. Nice drop and great handling. JDM Fogs are a must....Im working on getting me a set soon. The ATTS Emblem...eh maybe if you want that "Extra panaz".....I mean Im not one to talk I have the EDM Courtesy lights for my SH. They are red instead of clear.
Side markers.....maybe if you shave the front indicators on the front bumper....less you go with the Mugen front then yes the markers would be a nice touch. ViS I think has the front for 400....someone please feel free to correct me that was an oddball figure....
so....300 for JDM fogs, 400 for Mugen Front, H&R with Konis...maybe 600....againoddball off the top of my head figure. Right there is 1300. Take that 700 and decide on intake/headers or exhaust.....I think your best bet would to be going with a Thermal or a Greddy Evo 2....nice tone....good gains and would look alright with your SH Skirts. That would maybe leave you enough to get a SRI (short Ram Intake). Maybe if my figures are wrong you would be able to get a CAI, but not the V2...less I am way off the book on my numbers. But to also get a Header/Exhaust Manifold.....For the price range your at none will get you significant enough gains by swapping that out....save for a SMSP or a Hy-Tech if you do plan on going a full NA build....but then again your gonna want to ditch your exhaust and go with a better free flowing exhaust if your going all out NA Power.
just my .02 btw.....like I said in the begining....your car do what you wish, what makes you happy
