new look idea ? help - Honda Prelude Forum

Si_g · 08-25-2003, 04:08 PM

i like the stock look a lot, so i try to stay with that. As u can see, i got the all white and clear style, with normal drop and all that stuff. So here is my idea, i have another set of stock wheels, just like the ones i got on right now, that i want to paint black, with the H in with, just so it stands out, (kinda invert what i have right now) cause black it wont show so much. Along with that, i want to get the jdm black bumper LIGHTS, and the jdm black CORNER LIGHTS. I m hesitating on the black corner lights tho, i m thinkin of just gettin the one piece jdm black housing headlights, but i really like the look of the black corner lights. And to top everything out, i m thinkin about gettin a black front lip, i need help on that one, and also, if i do that, do u think i should repaint my side skirts back to black ? but all of this is just an idea, cause i ve had the all white look for a while now, and i think i want a change. Car has been lookin like this for a over a year now, i think its time for a change. I think its gonna go well with the 3 % black tints. please tell me what u guys think as fellow luders. I need positive feedback b4 i start the project.
refer to the user database for a list of my mods.

EDIT: If anyone can photoshop the idea, that would be nice.
Also, does anyone kno if black rear bumper lights exist for the 4th gen ?

when you say jdm black rear bumper lights...what do you mean? r u talking about lower section of the rear tail lights? the rear sidemarkers?

if i were you, i'd go with JDM 1-piece headlights and change your white rims to stock silver. you're car looks good as it is now, but the white rims are kinda throwing me off?

o well.

first off.... i dont know who told you those rear bumper lights were JDM, but they are not. i know this because there is no such thing, JDM ludes dont have rear bumper lights. although it is a good idea i dont think it would look good on a white car. as for the lip i say you get the carbon fiber one, like 4bidden and a couple others have, IMHO i think that would look pretty good on your car. the wheels though.... i have no idea

where do you get these from?

good find, i might have to try this out, with amber bulbs

bsi · 08-25-2003, 04:54 PM

^^ just buy some clear ones and get some tinting spray, same thing

i never said there were rear jdm bumper lights, i was askin if there is such a thing cause, and by rear bumper, i meant rear sidemarkers.

ask for where i found it, like i said go to ebay, and type either prelude jdm and scroll down, or 92-96 PRELUDE BLACK JDM J-SPEC CORNER LIGHTS, or 92-96 HONDA PRELUDE JDM BLACK BUMPER LIGHTS. After seeing that, i was wondering if there was such a thing as black rear side markers like the above, but since i couldnt find it, i guess not.

i also found Amber corner lights for those interested.

ah ic. well in that case...if the seller is legitamite and it is real (i've never heard of them) then get them 'cause i think they'd look pretty good. if not, then get clear ones and you can tint them like bsi said.

why do people hate on the amber bumper lights or corner lights then go guy something that is ALMOST the same just cause its JDM?

Nice car, BTW. Yeah, the JDM 1 piece would look great on that!

rogera04 · 08-25-2003, 06:36 PM

I have those corner lights. I got them off eBay. If anyone is lookin for the amber corner lights let me know, I have an auction up for them right now and it ends in about 13 hours. I would paste the eBay link here but I don't think it's allowed.

just to make it clear none of the parts you are posting or mentioning are JDM

the jdm prelude has clear front signals and 1pc headlights and no rear light on the side of the bumper

plus it has a amber side marker on the front fender

the term jdm means japanese domestic market
sorry to rant but it gets thrown around in the wrong terms

just say black or tinted front corners,.. and amber anything doesnt mean jdm

black JDM 1 pieces and a CF hood on a white car...sexy.

No, 92-93 are all amber. 94-96 only have clear outer turn signals. The bigger inner one is clear/amber like on a USDM 94-96 Prelude.

ViZ · 08-26-2003, 07:53 PM

your right the 92-93 are amber but so are the usdm and the 94-96 just have no amber reflectors just a bulb cover
