put my ww rs lip on yesterday - Honda Prelude Forum

pludeben · 03-02-2002, 05:19 PM

sorry no pics yet, but im more than pleased with how the lip looks on my 94 milano red. Ive already got a ton of compliments on it. It just "completes" the front bumper, makes it more aggresive, but not cheesy...man i love it...ill post pics as soon as i take them. BTW its rianing here, so the adhesive is getting its forst test...should do fine, its for outdoor use...

Scalifludesi · 03-02-2002, 07:06 PM

do you have the complete kit? Man I love those WW RS Kit. They are not too agressive and it complements our Ludes. Let's see those pics so that I can picture out how my car looks like with the RS kit ( I also have Milano Red).

Right now I only have their 3 pc wing. Gotta save $$$ to complete the kit.

pludeben · 03-02-2002, 07:08 PM

I only have the lip, i wasnt planning on gettting a kit for a long time, but i came accorss this lip for $60.00 used, aith a small crack, i then paid about $110 for ppg paint with clearcoat and minor bondo work on the cracked area. I wont have pics up for a while, but take my word for it, you will LOVE how it looks on your car.

post some pics up...

i agree of all the body kits out htere it complments the prelude image. very subtle to make it look a tad more aggressive.

Does it look kinda like this

?

I love the WW RS lip, and would not get anything different. I dont really like the sides or rear, so I just painted my mudflaps and factory side skirts. If you do get sides and rear, you should go with the Kaminari. Those look really good wirth the RS front lip. (I just think its unnecessary and a waste of money though).

Enjoy the lip, jsut watch out for those driveways

Is that Candy apple red Jordan? IMO that is the best looking color on the 4th gen.

fourthgeneration · 03-02-2002, 08:29 PM

Oh, and how much lower does the RS lip make your front end?

I'm debating if I should get one in the future because my car is like dropeed 1.8 in the front...

Jordan_4WS · 03-02-2002, 08:42 PM

1) Its Milano red. That is just the amazing lighting you get only on PCH (those spots are also great for bringing chicks - if you know what i mean

) I agree that C.A.R is tight, and I would have gotten that with a full repaint, but insurance only paid for painting half the car

2) The lip lowers the car quite a bit. I dont have measurements, but lets just say I was gonna lower the car 1 - 1.5" when stock, but now I am not gonna lower the front at all (damn Cali roads

)

Conclusion: Even with the lower front I would get the lip again... It looks great on any color - and unlike most body kits makes your car both good and 'stock quality clean'. By the latter remark I mean the car looks clean enough to be stock design, yet still looks aggressive enough to pass for show quality. IMO the sides and rear are nothing special (i'd get kaminari if I had the money to spend), but the front is simply

I would recommend it to anyone with any color lude - regardless of your goals. If you are on a tight budget, just paint the stock sides and get painted front and rear mudflaps too. Thats what I did, and I am very cheap and broke.

Milano red is still a sweet color...

As far as the lip, I love how they look. Subtle as hell. I'm gonna stay away from it though. Right now my car is dropped too much and I drive it too much (commute to school). Plus, I would have to get it painted, get the stock skirts painted etc. I like the WW skirts but I see them all the time on Civics and tegs.

Satan_SRV · 03-03-2002, 12:48 AM

Here is what mine looks like:

A little different...if you're wondering where the heck my turn signals are...it's the stock ones but they have been spray tinted..which normally I would say is lame but I think it looks pretty good in this setup...plus with the signals are red, but not red enough to get a ticket!

Also I have Eibach Sportlines...so you can see how close that mofo is to the ground!

And...the license plate holder is custom made...we hafta have front plates by law in Canada booo!

I didn't know that you had the kit...Anyways, when did you get it? Sure does looks good!!! BTW where's the thing you gonna send me. I'm still waiting for it

Jordan, fourthgeneration, brendon2k

You guys going to that Northern/Southern Cal meet? I heard it's going to be sometime around Spring or Summer break.

illusion · 03-03-2002, 08:08 AM

i like the ww front lip a lot.. but that by itself makes the car look uneven. you need some type of side skirt and rear.

I still got the screen, just never got around to sending it (

). Ill tell you what, I have spring break at the end of this month, maybe I will get a TV - drive down to Buena Park, bring you the screen, and then we can do the install... Ive got been so busy with 20 units of school.

As for the NorCal/SoCal meet, I will probably go. There is a chance that it will fall out during community college finals week - but if that doesnt happen I will go for sure.

Well lets just say thats courtesy of insurance, my high insurance rates, going too fast on a sharp turn, a curb, a nice white wall that is now red.

Thats what I used to think, but IMHO when you get front and rear mudflaps and paint those and the side skirt it matches. If money were no issue I would get Kaminari sides and rear, but I jsut dont think it is worth the $$$ since this is my daily driver and im not doing any shows or anything.

Ummmm.. I am most likely, I think Cantdrive55, and Brendon2k are going also...

gills · 03-03-2002, 05:28 PM

Ben,

very nice! congrats.

On another note, i guess you got your stock exhaust fixed?

pludeben · 03-03-2002, 08:22 PM

Yes i did gills, I emailed you about it like a week after, you must have not gotten it. i am really sorry about that. I wont be able to buy the exhaust for a long while now, got too much stuff to pay for...have to budget my money form now on. Thanks for being patient with me.

What? You painted the mudflaps? Show me!

Mine is the same as yours...but since mine is slammed I had to take of the front flaps but left the rear ones on.
