Any suggestions? - Page 3 - Honda Prelude Forum

Oh man, too funny. With that being said; He already stated he is not taking anything off the car, so to keep saying remove blah blah is pointless. Lets move on and hope it doesn't get worse.

First: Drop that ****.

Then I would suggest fogs, there are some JDM replicas in the sponsor area for a really decent price. One of my favorite mods was S2K wheel, I think it feels great everytime I drive my car.

In all honesty the rims would look good if you paint them with duplicolor silver. I don't think green and black mix well.

Nice car, you need to lose a bunch of ****, but like said on the post above, you're obviously not willing to, so the lip kit would be a nice(but expensive) addition. Tee-Dot's advice may have been harsh, but worthy. At least look up some other Ludes you may like.

Not everybody needs to lower, but in may help if you just want a car that looks good, rather than handles and is fast(whatever may be your own definition).

Do you want a car that looks good, or drives better?

Oh, and nice one T, another poor kid falls to your "harsh" reality

check the member's rides section and see if anything you like shows up. its better to have a picture of what you want your car to look like instead of random little mods and having a car look thrown together by a 5 yr old. na mean?

Do you want a car that looks like theirs? Do you want a car that looks like your neighbor's? Do you want a car that looks like your best friend's? If the answer is no, then quit asking what other people think you should do to YOUR car. Goddamn sheep.

That said, I like your wheels, just not on your car. I never liked green cars. Your hood is ugly. I don't like the spoilerless look. Your exhaust looks ok, but probably sounds like every other fart can. A lip kit is a tasteful addition but only if YOU like it. A moderate drop would be nice. I don't recommend more than 2" and a camber kit is about stupid.

What's the goal/purpose of your car? Do you track the car or just cruise the local city street with the other teenyboppers? Just adding some look-pretties or are you adding go-fasters as well? Is it stick or auto?

its auto. no track racing.

i was thinking bout getting a drag style wing

bwall · 05-31-2009, 03:37 PM

and ya i want it to be faster though

pIERCE · 05-31-2009, 04:20 PM

ohhh.............It's an auto. Well isn't that unfortunate.

First things first, sell it and get a stick, **** 5-spd-swaps, too expensive in most cases.

I don't want to sound contradictive of my own post--but the situation has changed now that I know it's an auto--but your "dream of speed" was just sjot out of the sky when you said you have an auto. They have a very high failure rate, I'd say between 70-90% of SS transmissions are doomed to fail prematurely. They are weaker than they should be, let's put it that way(for those of you questioning my use of the word prematurely).

Good luck.

Sell that one, and add the money you saved not having to get rid of that goofy looking hood and lowering it to your purchase of a 5spd.

DONT GET A HUGE WING. that would look ridiculous. drop, paint the rims silver to save money, im sorry but i have to agree with losing the hood, lip kit would look nice. how much money do u have to spend anyways? it doesnt take that much to have a decent looking car, just some tasteful mods. i'm not saying that my car looks amazing at all, but i've gotten a handful of good complements and the only exterior mod that i have is some rims. i think it looks pretty good. i have some pics if u wanna see, but honestly all it takes is some well thought out mods to make a car look nice. listen to everyones advice here and you can be pointed in the right direction, and as harsh as you may think tee-dot's suggestions were, i was thinking the same exact thing when i saw ur picture, even before seeing his post. take criticism well and move on to making ur car better. after all, you did start this thread to hear what everyone thought you should do with your car.

bwall · 05-31-2009, 06:34 PM

i dont have that much money. im a senior in high school so i need to find a job haha if im lucky

One Slow Lude · 05-31-2009, 09:04 PM

Senior in HS, shiiiiit. I'd be happy the way it is. If you knew what I had in HS lol.

IMO less is more. If I could go back I'd get the OEM lip kit before they stopped making it. Keep my SH wheels with a slight drop and call it a day.

I must point out your failure. It should be "you're". That is all.

You're right! Unfortunately, one slipped by. Believe me, there was a lot to check!

Afesposi · 05-31-2009, 10:26 PM

sell it....start over.... Just kidding. you gotta loose that "stupid hood" from what everyone else called it, get some fogs, lip kit (oem or WW) sell those wheels and tires, switch for stock exhaust (sounds better than a bee in a can) annnndddddd.... CLAY THAT PAINT. Meguiar's 20$. buff. wax....done.
