Some questions... - Honda Prelude Forum

a) How do you get the mouldings off? It's probably simple but I can't go outside now as it is thunderstorming :S

b) How do you get the rear Honda emblem off? I see 2 nuts holding it on under the trunk but I can't access them with a wrench or a ratchet.

c) How do you get the inside door handle out? I see a screw in it but when I take the screw out the handle is still firm. Do I need to take the entire door moulding out?

d) How do I remove the clear plastic panel covering the guages to insert the white face guages? The moulding around it is severely broken, so the screws aren't holding it in but a piece of yarn is :P Now THAT is a ghetto setup :P.

e) How do I remove the center reflector panel with the reverse lights in it? Also where can I get a new or lightly used one of these? I have no idea where and I can't find it anywhere online.

Thanks!

answers.
a) dunno
b)dunno again, but i will go outside and look
c)yes you have to take the whole interior door covering off. it isn't hard at all
d)the clear plastic piece is tricky, but if you can take the cluster out of the dash, it might be easier. you need to take a thin knife and kinda work around the outside to break the glue. it is like crazy glue in there. at least that is how i did it in the civic. then crazy glue it back on after.
e)i took the center reflector off my car yesterday(see post below about looky what i did) you take the 2 plastic covers off in the trunk, and unplug the 2 connectors for the reverse lights. then take off all 8 8mm nuts. then just puch on the bolts to push the thing off. it might go hard cause of a rubber lip at the botton, but it is free, except for that, so push it off with something. ther is a junkyard down the road from me that i have been systematically scavenging parts from for my car. it is an 88 2.0S1 4ws. i think the piece is in good condition, but i am not sure(had no need for it, so i never looked) i imagine i can get it for like 10-20 bux canadian(i know the guys) but i don't know how to send crap and i don't know how to use these money transfer things. so i could buy it, but after that, what do i do? anyways, if you want, i might be able to put lights in it like mine, for a nominal fee, of course, before i send it, it you are interested.

Hey that sounds great, about the rear reflector. How much would you charge me for just the lense? And how much for making it with the lights behind the letters? If it's low enough I'll buy it from you, else, I might only be able to get the reflector piece. Email me at vectorboy@punkass.com so we can talk more about this!
