Yeah, it's more aggresive, but weaker and not as good of a fit, unless you mold it.

Also, the OEM kit is ABS plastic, compared to the poly of the WW; which is strong, but not as durable as ABS.

Plus, the paint will match perfectly on the OEM. No chipping.

Some people have said that the WW kit warps after time due to moisture.

Couldn't of said it better

Buy it from www.hparts.com or www.handaccessories.com

Check around b/c i think handa has cheaper shipping and great service

Well I've absolutely fallen in love with the black Rota Subzeros and think it will compliment my hood rather well. So I've got those ordered and was hoping to sell my current wheels to help pay for them. Asking price is $900 for all 4 wheels/tires

I say OEM. But if you want a more aggressive kit, then WW Rs.

Chenko · 02-01-2002, 07:38 PM

yea my local honda dealer has them in stock for roughly a grand. so i might get that. i don't believe the OEM 1's require forming or do they? right now i have the WW Type-R wing. i'll post some pics. soon as i figure out how to. thx for the help

Everyone on the message board loves to use the word "Clean." How do you define "Clean"?!?!?

ice1cube · 02-01-2002, 08:59 PM

clean = no unnecessary vents, gaps, protrusions, extensions, grills, slits, grooves, nooks, crannies........ just a smooth, flowing complement to the existing prelude body...completing the form of the prelude's majesty without extending and overextending the form which it should take

=P got carried away.......basically just a short extension to the body that looks like it belongs there

ice1cube · 02-01-2002, 09:00 PM

btw spanish ricer.........what size subzeros are you getting? you gettin flat black w/ the kumhos or nittos i see on group buy? if you get em ....... put up pics as soon as their on.......i want to see how it looks cuz i have a red lude too =D (btw....i was thinking gunmetal but im interested in seeing how black turns out....white and silver======too common imo)

I'm getting the 17X7.5's in flat black. I was thinking about gunmetal as well, but decided to go with the flat black because I thought it'd match the hood better. I just ordered the wheels seperately because the group buy wasn't offering tires in the size I wanted (235/40/17) I'll definately post up pics when they come in...
