i would wanted a new car......after something like that i dunno....i would have this weird feelin bout my car

trulegend · 09-06-2002, 12:03 AM

damm

is it me or do i see some gap on the side of the headlights and between the fenders and the bumper

the reason i ask is i was in the same boat as you a few weeks ago except the only thing was replaced was the left fender and bumper cause everything else was untouchable.....

and after lots and lots of looking, *****ing at honda dealership, making 6 trips to honda dealership to have it in the superb and new condition as a at stock prelude i still feel my car is not in its new condition considering i bought the car brand spanking new.... a few months ago...

however if a real professional mechanic looks at my car he will not be able to tell what was replaced other then the vin number missing on the left fender.

its a biggest *****e to have to go back and bring the car back to its perfect form.....

sorry for the long messege i guess i am hella picky

but u car looks good

typeshlude2001:

A bit off topic, but how does your Borla exhaust sound on the 'Lude? My dad has one on his Firebird and my mom has one on her Mustang GT and they both sound nice. Just wondering.

Oh, and sorry to hear about all your hardships guys. I've had my lude a little over a year and never had up the the amount you guys are talking about, but in the three accidents I've had (only one was my fault) shes had about $6K in damage... almost $2K payed out by me (Insurance covered the rest). Luckily it was all cosmetic damage, so they can be replaced almost perfectly. *Knock on wood*. However, you are correct in saying sometimes it just doesn't feel the same...

Your car looks happy again.
