Since you asked, I'd add a spoiler to finish it off. I wouldn't have smoked the signals or emblem.

However everything seems tasteful. Plus you have an EBP, so I have to spread the love.

looks pretty good. Looks like it could use a little elbow grease. EBP is a pretty eye popping color and it looks kind of flat on your car in those pics. But its very clean overall! I love the lip combo especially if you got rid of the splash guards.

Thanks for the comments, I was just sick of hearing "nice lude" all the time I wanted some other feedback. I put a lip spoiler on it and took it right off the same day, I didn't like how it squared off the trunk, so I am planning on getting just an OEM looking one.

So do you mean it needs a good waxing and buffing? My front lip and painted side skirts are flat because I painted them and am not a professional painter but yeah maybe the car overall could use some buffing etc... I did have the splash guards off for a while cause when i lowered it those rubbed a lot but there was some scratch marks left from the splash guards so probably next spring when I get my rust fixed that I noticed is starting to come I could look into getting those scratches fixed and chuck the mud guards. Thanks for the comment.

lilbill97 · 11-11-2008, 04:48 PM

how do you like the ws2 exhaust??

My01BlueLude · 11-12-2008, 10:37 AM

How's the AEM V2? Notice any difference in mileage/performance? Is it too loud?

When I purchased the lip from JDMSh!t.com the lip was titled "Mugen Style Front Bumper Lip" so that's what I call it. But I am actually thinking of getting the OEM front lip next summer, I have seen more and more Prelude's with the OEM front lip and I'm starting to like the OEM lip a lot!

I really like the WS2, on my old EK Civic I got one of those universal big can exhaust's and it was so loud on the interstate it gave me a headach when I was on the road for more than an hour. I love that my WS2 is quiet but still louder than stock, it looks good and clean, and it's a good brand IMO. The only things I dont like about it is that it's not full stainless steel (the muffler is the only thing that is stainless steel) and my other complaint is that it sits pretty low. So overall it's pretty nice, but not perfect.

It's really hard to tell because the hp increase is most likely probably pretty minor. I do keep track of my MPG and I have noticed a minor increase in my MPG, granted it's not anything huge, but anything is better than nothing. I do say that my favorite part of the V2 is the sound it makes I love it!! I'm not sure it was worth the money I spent on the V2 but it's all good.

Thanks for the advice. I dont think I want to do side skirts or a rear lip, I painted the side skirts and the rear under bumper because my lude is a base and those pieces came stock black, but I like the stock look for the sides and rear. I am actually going to get the aftermarket option leather shift knob and I was planning on getting the JDM fogs as well.

Inspire · 11-12-2008, 05:27 PM

the sides of the front lip is kinda off...maybe fix it so it looks more flush? lol

since you're going for that black/blue theme...maybe a cf/hood trunk?

i personally dont like the smoked white part of the tails...i've always wanted burgundy color tails/clears. lol

You mean how it puckers out a little? Good eye, yeah that's pretty much the only thing that is wrong with the front lip. I have tried to look into figuring out how I can fix it and I couldn't really think of anything, I dont want to drill or anything, and 3M automotive tape I wouldn't think would stick....so I am pretty much SOL on that. I am planning on getting the OEM front lip from my local Honda dealership next summer so it'll be 100% perfect fit. But yeah I can't think of anything to get that flush. It sucks

I would love to get a cf hood and/or trunk, just a couple things I live in NH so I'd have to take off the hood every winter and I dont have 600 bucks either.

I can understand people not liking the smoked tail lights, I personally really like it because it's still somewhat OEM and yet is custom. I love OEM tail lights but I also wanted something different and a little more original so I think I got the best of both worlds....or close to it.

Brash22 · 11-12-2008, 08:22 PM

I think the smoked lights looks good, the whole blue/black contrast looks great, though if you told me you were doing it I'd tell you not to...before I saw this. Maybe paint the side/rear skirts black to keep with the theme?

DJ Hookid · 11-12-2008, 09:20 PM

Not diggin the Spark Plug cover... Other than that it looks good. Maybe add Mugen side skirts and rears?
