Changing my looks - Honda Prelude Forum

Qveon · 03-09-2003, 10:48 PM

currently i have just chrome altzetta tail lights. I am thinking about buying a CF hood and maybe a trunk and was thinking if i should go from the chrome tails to the CF ones and if i should get rid of my polished aluminum wheels for gunmetals or something and get the black or CF projector headlights? but then what do i do about my clear lenses all around. Or do you think i should stay with the shiny look in the tails and wheels and just put the chrome projectors in and then a CF hood on. What is your opinion?

Don't take offense to this, but there is a couple things I would change about your car as well

But, I am glad you're thinking about it, don't get altezza's at all, go back to stock, get some 17 inch rims, body kit, JDM headlights, and from what I see, remove the pinstripe.

oh and one more thing...slaaam that baby

i like the altezza look, but i want my tail lights to look a little different from stock. Any reccomendations? Photochops welcome for pic ideas.

what are you talking about?

Satan_SRV · 03-09-2003, 11:17 PM

clearing the tails does nothig to the reflection strip.

Seriously, altezzas were lame the day they were made. IMO

If you're talking about the reflector in the tail lights its in there. Only thing done to clear the tails lights it clearing the turn signal. Rest of the light stays the same.

ok and i am thinking this body kit or WW Lip Kit:

VTEC Shore Lude · 03-10-2003, 12:35 AM

IMO that kit is hideous. Go with WW Widemouth kit

or somehting like it thats non aggressive. The car has great lines don't ruin em'. Get something more subtle and non aggressive and it will look sweet.

That is ugly for an agressive kit. Go ww big mouth if you want an agressive kit but no matter what you do ditch those cheap ass altezza's.

Yeah don't waste even more money on another set of altezzas! The JDM look is MUCH better. Altezzas make your car look cheap and Ricey :/

I don't think the carbon fiber altezzas are too bad, just got the ones with one big circle instead of the two lil ones.

And I think that kit looks pretty decent, I used to have it, looks kinda funny from the side though and btw, it will scrape like a mofo on the sides of the front bumper. Mine did and it wasn't even lowered... its just the way it was designed.

What about the spoiler thats on the white bodykit? i really like that one or i will get a stock one. pick

LudedudeSi · 03-10-2003, 10:41 AM

hey neokai thats what my taillights look like. i did em about 2 years ago because i was getting tired of the altezzas.

XLerate9 · 03-10-2003, 10:42 AM

Yeah lose the altezzas. And get either the WW bigmouth kit or the WW RS. Both are beautiful and compliment the body lines wonderfully. Get a set of painted silver or gunmetal rims. JDM headlights. Neuspeed or H&R sports. KYB AGX struts. Carbon fiber hood is ok... just make sure you get a good one so the lines match up right, if not it will look like crap. Stay away from chrome. It looks too ricey. You will get a lot more compliments on how clean and expensive your car looks if you have just modest colors and everything fits together. Good Luck.

WoW

Those are nice neoekai, clean. Looks similar to the altezzas they have for the 94-95 Accords. How much would you charge to do a set? I mite be interested if the price is right, PM me please.

My opinion of the spoiler is ehhhh... I would rather have the stock spoiler than that. If you are going for show, I would go for the battle GTR/Terminator spoiler, looks like the ones from the black civics in the F&F but with a deck. As for being "Ricey" its your car man, do what ya want to it, but opinions are always helpful.
