new pictures of wheels and painted tail lights - Honda Prelude Forum

geotropic · 05-18-2002, 06:48 AM

I just got new 17in Konig Tantrums w/ Nitto NT450 tires. I also got sick of stupid altezzas so I took them apart and painted the lenses inside w/ red translucent stained glass paint. They came out nice.

(I need also need to paint my calipers)

yeah, I forgot to mention that, the suspension is coming at the end of this month, ordering KYB AGX shocks and Eibach sportline springs.

clean looking car! once you get that suspension in it will look sick.

Looks good. I love 7 spoke rims.

The exhaust is the Tanabe G-Power. But anyway, I put the lights in the oven to loosen up the glue they were sealed with, then took the covers off. I then painted the inside of the tails with translucent red spray paint for about 4 coats. I then let them sit for like 6 hours. Then I put the tails (not the covers that are painted) back in the oven to get the glue melted and applied liquid nails sealer when they were hot. I then put the lenses back on and let sit over night.

Not really. We're all a little lazy. I organized a little meet back in Sept. of '00, not limited to ludes, but invited all hondas and acuras. There wasn't a great turnout, so I've discounted doing another once since.

I think a nice turnout at a local autocross (I'm at every one anyway) would be nice. Check out the Finger Lakes Region SCCA site ( www.flr-scca.com ) for the shedules. There was one today, and the next is on June 16th.

there was a car show at RIT about a week ago, i heard turn out was pretty good. It was held by Club Vertigo of RIT

Prelude92S · 05-20-2002, 05:46 PM

ok is it just me or do those tails look tight? i really like the look of those man...not totally red up top and not clear...very nice!

Cookout · 05-20-2002, 06:27 PM

How did you take off and apart the altezzas? Mine came with the car and I want to black out the shinny schit. Also, what did you use?
