quick question - Honda Prelude Forum

LadypreludeSI · 03-11-2002, 08:26 AM

Hey guys! Just have a quick question. My 92 SI is silver. I have not seen another silver one around. All the ones I see are red, black, or white. I've only seen one other silver, and it was a 2001 model at a dealership. So, my question is this. Is silver a rare color for this model, or just an unpopular one? Everywhere I go, people stare at the car, like they've never seen a silver car before. Just something I've been wondering about. Thanks.

I see a bunch of silver Preludes where I live, but black and red are more common.

UK 's is Silver too =]

I see quite a few where I live. I think it isn't that popular a color. The majority of them are black.

Brady92/4WS · 03-11-2002, 02:56 PM

i think the majority is milano red... everyones car is red, including mine.

when i first got mine i didn't see another black one for months. all i saw were white and red, i was so happy. now i'm living in a different city and they are all black!!! theres one red one and two other black ones. pissed me right off. oh well, i've never lived in a city that has more than 4 preludes total(4th gen). at least i'm not driving a mustang...

brendon2k · 03-11-2002, 08:51 PM

Lude4thGen · 03-12-2002, 12:16 AM

My Lude is currently silver, I like the color silver, there are a few Preludes around that are silver but mostly red/black, whites sorta rare around here, speaking of 4th gens. But I am getting it painted Viper/Royal Blue with. its gonna look nice with a silver pearl :-)

112Ludester · 03-12-2002, 02:41 AM

red, black, white, and silver are all common colors. the ones you dont really see are the gold, and dark green ones. the prelude SE

PreludeNYC · 03-12-2002, 05:17 AM

this girl or lady across the street from me has a silver 4th gen, I want to recruit her to my team, but i think shes a lil older prolly late 20's.... her prelude is stock tho....

I got a Sebring Silver 4th generation, most that I see over hear (UK) are either Black or Wine red? (Metailic)

XLerate9 · 07-22-2002, 09:21 PM

I have a Silver 4th Generation. There are 2 more around where i live... and other than that i hardly see many at all...

I like being different... people stare.

preludechic · 07-22-2002, 09:45 PM

I never see them here where I live. Come to think of it, I can only identify one silver one. I see black ALL THE TIME. There are alot of the azure green ones here, also. There are some Milano Red ones, there'd be one more if I could ever get mine running.

Guess I'll have to settle for the white CRX.

SiR-P12eLude · 07-22-2002, 10:02 PM

sorry to say but silver is not a special option color for your ride.. i see alot of silver ludes...

EvilRyu · 07-22-2002, 10:35 PM

didn't we have a poll about the color back then?? what was the result? i think black is more popular

jackal9220 · 07-23-2002, 04:09 AM

I have a silver prelude too and I love it! Silver isn't available for the VTEC version, so there's less of the silver 4gs around...but I love the silver color, and ppl always tell me they like my car....

LadypreludeSI · 07-23-2002, 03:24 PM

SiR, I never said that silver was a special option color for my car. All I said was that I don't see very many silver 4g's around here. I wondered if it was a rare color. That's all. You need to go back and re-read my post to clarify what was said.

brendon2k · 07-23-2002, 06:15 PM

Navy Blue is a rare color. I don't think I have ever seen one in person.

There is a Dark Blue S in my town.

j_t_heilbrun · 07-23-2002, 11:40 PM

How about the Blue/Purple color (can't think what it's call right now) I don't see a whole lot of them on the boards. But there is another one in town just like mine, right down to the mileage (within a few thousand miles). The thing is there is like maybe 5 4th gens within about 100 miles of me.

95VTECprelude · 07-24-2002, 03:18 PM

AZURE BLUE GREEN BABY!!!!!

I've only seen one dark blue one in person. It was a 95 with really bad hail damage, it almost looked like someone took a baseball bat to it.

As far as the silver Preludes go, I think they are just less popular (and of course it varies with the area). I looked for a silver Prelude in Minnesota for at least 4-5 months and couldn't find one at a decent price. I think the silver Preludes look awesome though!!

blackvtec · 07-25-2002, 02:27 PM

I used to have a dark blue 4g. I have a black now though. The only 4g ludes around here and mine, a red and a white one.
