So it's been about 2 months since I purchased my baby. I thought I would show you guys how she's looking and post on this thread when I add more.
Here is the day after I purchased her:

Since then, I have mainly focused on the audio of my car and mild touch ups on the exterior. I have a double-din Alpine head unit, two 10" Alpine subs, and Polk Component speakers.

She sounds flawless.

And finally, today was the biggest improvement so far! My brand new wheels were finally installed with new tires. Let's just say that today has been a very good day. She is still at stock height but I have just ordered my coilovers. I also will be ordering a 96-97 Type R lip and installing it once I have it painted a matching "Frost White."

Well I thought I would go ahead and unveil some pictures of my new and improved Prelude

Since the last update, I was unfortunately rear ended by an older lady... (At a car wash, of all places)
The damage wasn't terrible but it did get me a fresh new paint job on the bumper and the body shop was kind enough to paint my type r front lip for me.

I also ended up ordering TONS of parts. New Koni yellow coilovers, intake, headers/downpipe, OBX muffler & Resonator (getting the straight pipe done locally), strut/tie bars, and 3000k HID's. Also got new brakes and gold caliper paint that matches my wheels. (It's the little things that make a big difference)

Next up, installing front lip, 3000k HID's, Strut bar, and cold air intake.

And after...

So after a few weeks, I FINALLY got some free time to install my coilovers.

(Taking out the rear suspension...)

And here she is

So I still haven't been able to get my exhaust, headers and downpipe on yet but I'm HOPING that I can have that done sometime in April. I'll be posting more soon.

For anyone wanting to see more pictures of my car, feel free to follow me on Instagram! My username is @trayeberle
Thanks so much

Wow, I really love your car. Looks very very clean!

Chett says · 04-08-2013, 11:37 AM

The pictures do zero justice as to how clean this car is!

ds2000 · 04-08-2013, 11:38 AM

^ have you seen it first hand? Wonder where the OP picked it up from

Chett says · 04-08-2013, 03:37 PM

Yes, I saw it two days ago when I met him. We both live in the same town. It is by far one of the cleanest Preludes I have ever seen. Aside from my own, of course! Haha.

I really appreciate the kind words, guys! She's come a long way! My exhaust is finally on also so I'll post some pics later today!
@Ds2000, I picked her up in Indiana, right outside of Louisville, KY.
Chett, you're talking like your car isn't gorgeous! Easily one of the nicest ludes I've EVER seen. Love that you're keeping it stock.

Chett says · 04-09-2013, 01:03 PM

I'm looking forward to hearing your exhaust.

I definitely think my Prelude is clean, but since I've worked on every corner of it , I know where it's not perfect.

Looking nice !

Wow man, that's one sweet lude. I'm a lover of the 4th gen myself. The Type-R lip looks amazing. I wasn't aware you could it work let alone fit it, I learned something lol. Great car man I look forward to new pics of it :-)
