Need you cosmetic opinions... - Honda Prelude Forum

Jordan_4WS · 12-10-2001, 10:22 PM

I am getting a WW RS front lip for my red 4g. I wanted opinions on the following:
1) Should I paint those air vents next to the headlights to match the car?
2) Should I shave the H emblem?

I think I will shave the H emblem, just not sure about the air vents
Also, anyone have any applicable pictures?

Thanks, Jordan

Maybe I will try to find someone to sell me a set of air vents for cheap. Then I can have a painted pair and non painted pair... What do you think? Oh, I think the 94-96 vents looks good painted (they have the double lines) and the 92-93 looks good non-painted (the have the single lines).

What do you guys think about this?

Paint those vents! I got it done after an accident, and they look SWEET color-matched!!!

Just do what you thinks best, itll look good either way

If your car is red don't do anything stupid like paint them bright yellow or baby blue...lol j/k.

If you have JDM one piece headlights than I would say leave them the way they are.

Just do what ever you like.

Damn - I never even realized that! Any other ways to figure out what year a gen4 is (from the outside, I mean)?

Forbidden · 12-15-2001, 03:34 PM

the 92-93 have orange turn signal/park light while the 94-96 have clear one with orange inside though I have a 92 and mine are clear now :P

Already mentioned the 92-93 turn signals are all orange, and 94-96 are clear and yellow.

Also, the 94-96 has a slighty larger nose, while the 92-93's nose is a little more flat. Very insignifacant, and you cant really tell unless they are side by side. My friend has a 94 4ws, and i have a 92 4ws. And i showed him the differences.

Also 92-93 have 7spoke rims that look like 99-00 civic si rims and 94-96 have 9spoke rims and lastly, the 92-93 have the 3rd brake light on the roof and 94-96 have it on the spoiler.

The rest of the stuff is interior. Digital gauges and different center console layout. ALso, the 94-96 have leather standard on Vtec models and i think also 4WS models, while 92-93 have no standard leather.

EDIT: By nose I mean the area where the front H emblem is. If you look side by side, the 'nose' is a little flatter on the 92-93s.

Hmm... That is odd. I guess I am wrong about that.
