It looks good but I am not a fan of red and white combinations. In my opinion white rims do not belong on red cars.

I would also get rid of the white stickers and windshield banner.

The wing is a little too aggressive for me but it matches the looks of your body kit.

I'm more of a clean and simple guy.

It looks good, but damn aren't you gonna kill it when you paint it baby blue!!

Luderone · 02-27-2002, 10:31 AM

All the stickers are off of the car, the top part of the wing is taken off, cause it looks like a book shelf. the baby blue color is not a light bule, it more like a sky blue. thanks guys

I'm glad you removed some of the stickers.

The white rims will probably look good on a blue car (the darker blue the better). I like the color of 93SRVMAN's prelude. It's a darker blue almost like the is300 blue. That would look great with white rims.

The car should look great when painted.

Good luck.

I like your car in my opinion, minus the stickers, but you already got rid of them.

93SRVMAN · 02-27-2002, 01:00 PM

Car is looking pretty good. Can't say I like the wing tho.

Again I am a more reserved kinda guy too.

dflipmode · 02-27-2002, 01:08 PM

jaymee looks pretty damn good to me...

SLICK96 · 02-27-2002, 01:11 PM

Since I'm a simple, CLEAN kind of LUDER, I'd say-->shave the wing altogether. If you're going sky blue/light blue, shave everything, and do a tail light conversion. I say to lose the wing just b/c I think it's overly played out on the streets ... very FnF, even though you had it before the movie came out. You sure you want to change it to light blue ... it looks nice red! Just my opinion, though.

Me too, ease it down a notch and it'll look more cleaner... too much graphics, but other than that, your car is gorgeous

keep up the good work!

heres my mod list

Sorry, it's just not my style. I like the front of the car with the JDM's but the kit is a little too aggressive for me.

When I see cars or trucks with the slanted license plate it reminds me of the "old school." Maybe it is just me, but the slanted license plate is somewhat outdated.

I also don't car for the exhaust exiting the rear of the kit.

I'm sure you spent a lot of money on this custom work along with the molding of certain pieces but it's not my taste.

Again, this is just me so don't take offense to it, you asked for opinions. People don't like the way my car looks because we all have different tastes and that is a good thing. Life would be boring if we all drove the same car.

Best of luck!

how much is that paintjob going to cost you?

your car looks pretty good except for the graphics and wing

Luderone · 02-27-2002, 02:44 PM

thanks mark 94, none takin, I like the aggressive look. I only see the slated plate on trucks, not to many on cars. but thanks for the input, paint is going to cost $1200, and I did all the prep work. that includes a base sealer coat, 2 coats paint, 2 clear.

I thought this was a Prelude forum. Z3's are nice, but kindof chick cars to me. Yours looks a bit different than the BMW Z-3's I've seen on the streets.

Paint it dark blue or white. And please no graphics they look horrible. Clean is best!

OutlawLude · 02-28-2002, 02:31 PM

IMO, the license plate and exhaust mods are fugly!

brendon2k · 02-28-2002, 03:13 PM

I don't like the spoiler but I really like red cars with white rims!

shadowZZ · 03-01-2002, 02:47 AM

It looks like a lot of work has gone into your car, too wild for me but nice work, try t toneit down a but with the mix matched color scheme, good luck with the paint job!

dflipmode · 03-01-2002, 10:25 AM

its a little too aggressive for my taste...it would be nice though if you have the power to back up that aggressive looks...you should invest in making the car fast first before the looks...thats just my opinion...
