I forgot who started this mod. Credit goes to fouthgeneration for the inspiration(sp) at Speaker Grill but, I decided to do it my way.

Grab a can of 1500 degree aluminum paint and get to work.
He is the results

and here is both of them

and this is what it look like in the car

nice, it would go great with a white interior!!

genlude · 05-17-2002, 01:22 PM

and here are the toys

and the much sort after armrest. Although the cupholder did not come with it, which I don't miss, cause no one is allowed to drink in the prelude.
But I still want the cupholder if my contact can find on.

I already installed the high mount lamp and all I have to do is installed the armrest to look like this.

whoa I was in your thread.

About the cupholder thing. how much did it cost? does it get in the way of shifting and such?

MR.CLIFFORD · 05-17-2002, 01:55 PM

Does your prelude light up when you step on the brake??

I have not driven the car yet and the cost was $100. But I don't think it is going to get in the way of shifting.

Riptide101 · 05-17-2002, 08:16 PM

Wondering too if the brake light lights up the word prelude.

ME · 05-17-2002, 08:42 PM

The brake light looks ***. What's the point of white speaker grills??? My center console looks like that from the factory...

geez man... u should calm down, everyone has different taste and can do whatever they want for their car...

if u didn't know most of the ludes didn't come with the arm rest like that (92-93) cause i know i didn't ...

ME · 05-17-2002, 10:21 PM

And just so you know the you can't actually rest your arm on the armrest while driving...plus it creaks. I'm sorry but that brakelight could just as easily say a girlie nickname it's so ghay

preludechic · 05-18-2002, 05:39 PM

The Prelude does light up, and it looks sweet, too. Don't let haters bring ya down. Nice toys!

PreludeGuy27 · 05-18-2002, 05:54 PM

Where did you get the Prelude thing for the brake? I think it looks good, but I saw another guy with VTEC on it. I think I'll play with it a little bit and see if I can cut a peice of plastic to fit into the brake light shell and cut the words VTEC so when I step on the brake, VTEC will light up.

SiR-P12eLude · 05-18-2002, 06:24 PM

Nice arm rest, I actually have one also...

Nice 3rd brake light, i'm gonna go try taking it out and putting sticker of the honda logo in there. i don't really feel those speaker grills though, seems as if it has fade out completely... why did you want it that white color anywayz

I have driven the car for a couple of days and I can actually say, the armrest is a plus. I luv it and it gives me a feeling of elevation compared to resting the arm on the center console

I was kind of dissappointed the word "prelude" did not light up, but I aim on fixing that this week.
