94lude Vs. Alexlude... the BATTLE FOR BEST 4th Gen in the Bay Area - Honda Prelude Forum

94lude · 12-03-2003, 10:15 PM

It must be just human nature...

You try to help a fellow luder out in modifying his car... refer him to a good body shop to get his paint job done... gave him advice on his wheel selections... gave him rides when his car was in the shop... even went as far as to checking on his car at the body shop weekly to take pictures and made sure the car was going to be done right... but once I had the Prelude sold... he claims to be the best 4th Gen in the Bay Area... and even calling me as second place!!! I beg to differ!!!

Outside of the Bay Area... Shadowz...

So thus my reason in this challenge... in a life and death dual for the best 4th Gen... we made the ultimate bet.... loser will treat the other person for a BOWL OF PHO'

YES!!! A BOWL OF PHO' Remember Alex... Beef Bowl #1.... might as well put the money on the table!!!

So here it is... Alex and I are posting the best photos taken of our cars... please note a few are out dated.

Please vote according to the overall completion of the vehicle, not so much in content. In all fairness, a well designed 4th Gen should be based on presence, style, and presentation. Afterall, we are competing for the overall appearance of the vehicle.. not so much performance...

I am posting five pictures of each one of our vehicles. If any members would like to see more, please click on the attached link to see additional pictures as well as modifications info.

Final cut off date in this battle will be the end of the month... 12/31

Please VOTE for your favorite 4th Gen in the Bay Area
