The beauty of being (mostly) stock... - Honda Prelude Forum

Modern Angel · 08-04-2002, 12:33 AM

Well, here's some pics I took today of my Type SH ... it's exterior is all stock except for the JDM gunmetal grille and the lowering courtesy of my Mugen Showa suspension.. oh yeah, and the tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE730's.

Anyway, I still think the 'lude can look pretty damn hot stock.

Hi-rez versions are availabe upon request.

heh.. well, it's already dropped almost 1.5 inches with the Mugen suspension

.. that's just fine for me seeing as how I live in Chicago and all. I don't think I'll get a kit though, probably just a Type-S front lip and that's it..

Can we see some closeup shots of the grill?

Sure, here's one:

The front of my hood looks like crap thanks to tons of rock chips and a dent from a rock.. damn rocks!

Anyway, here's an old thread I had posted before dealing with the topic of the gunmetal grille:

Yeah, I know.. that's why I'm thinking of getting the Type-S one since I don't really like the OEM factory or WW RS lips.. and the Mugen bumper is just too much $$

He is dropped about 1.5" using his Mugen Showa suspension.

prelude_sh_vtec · 08-04-2002, 01:18 PM

with the 1.5 drop did you have to buy a camber kit and re align??

thewedge4 · 08-04-2002, 01:30 PM

how many miles you got?

That looks just like my nose, minus the dent....191,000

lude1sh · 08-04-2002, 01:55 PM

you know it's wierd

stock versus
a lude with a 1.8-2 inch drop.
the prelude looks like
an entirely different
entity when your lude
is dropped or
slammed.

73,000 miles...

and

prelude_sh_vtec: no, I didn't have to get a camber kit for that drop.. I did get an aligment though and the 'lude has run straight as an arrow since I put the suspension on.. (which was in January)

for real....everyone says "drop it like it's hot"....you'd think that someone would get a new saying....Lil Wayne said that like what, 3 1/2 years ago?!

azninside · 08-06-2002, 06:59 PM

but yeah, you do need a body kit

crdcz03 · 08-06-2002, 07:01 PM

i like it stock. maybe a small body kit but nothing extreme.

Mr.RiceAdvisor · 08-07-2002, 03:55 AM

your car looks hot man!

I think the drop is perfect.
