Pimpin a type S badge on a 4th gen - Honda Prelude Forum

Skylude · 01-29-2003, 10:33 PM

What you guys think, I'm not sure what to think. If it has the type S stuff in it would it be cool to pimp it. I seen a guy that had a yellow prelude with a cf hood and black housing jdms a while back that came from Cali. He got pissed off at me for something stupid and wanted to race me. I was late for work that night and he stopped by the store and kept pestering me. I went up to his car and seen that he had stock rims and a prelude type r badge. I told him that putting type r on a prelude is a nono, but he insisted that he had type r stuff inside the engine. I know type R badges are asscrap on a prelude. When I seen his car at the mall the other day he had the type R badges removed. I made a difference! When I went to pep boys the other day I seen a 4th gen with a type S badge. I talked to the guy that owned it and it turns out he has a lot of type S stuff, but I'm not sure if its cool or not to pimp a type S badge on a 4th gen.

Not really sure what the point of this post is. I have an itchy locking finger. . .if I dont see any meaningful comments, I may have to exercise it a bit.

yea thats what I thought. Im starting to get annoyed with all the improper badging around here.

red92si · 01-29-2003, 11:56 PM

why I am a fan of de-badging... better to let the actual performance speak for itself.

i think it is an upgraded version of rice...i know they make type s prelude but what you think if you seen a late 90s Integra with a RSX Type-S badge on it? same difference...thats a big nono

Yea, i think that falls under 'rice'. I mean sure, you have type-s ****, but you're not a type-s. Unless that 4th gen had ATTS and a H22a, its not a type-s. I think its okay to 'swap badges' when its truth. Puttin a 'dohc vtec' sticker on youre GSR swapped, LS is fine. Same with Type-r. But, unless you put a b18c5 in you're lude, its by far not a type-r.

I feel the same I think it would look really tacky. Besides most people don't even know what a Type-S prelude is.

a type s sticker on anything but a real type s pelude is really stupid IMO.

you can always put an SiR emblem on it, they were actually SiRs in japan...something intersting i found searching the internet one day...or put an SR-V sticker on it, seeing as 99 percent of people would have no idea what it meant lol

Satan_SRV · 02-02-2003, 03:14 AM

SR-V sticker rules!

I have considered replacing my front honda emblem with the 'S' of the the S2000 logo on the side of the S2000...but it's not a sticker so I think it's different.
