Formal introduction - Honda Prelude Forum

minnesotalude22 · 12-22-2011, 12:53 AM

So I have posted a few times and I feel I should formally introduce myself, my name is anthony and my car is a 1994 Prelude vtec. It has about 201,000 miles on it. In the past few months I have owned the car I have replaced the distributor, fast idle thermo valve, tires and rims, added a dc sports header a off brand 2.5 inch mandrel bent stainless catback, spectre cone filter to go with the generic sri, cleaned the egr and idle air control valves, replaced the idle air adjust screw as it was missing,thoroughly cleaned the throttle body, replaced bad vacuum lines and changed the oil. I will be changing the brake pads and rotors front and rear and flushing the cooling and all the hydraulic systems next. My car came equipped with I ten inch alpine type e with a Kenwood kac-720 two channel amp, pioneer head unit and ground control sleeves with kyb agx strife and eibach springs and energy suspension oily bushings for the rear suspension

welcome to the Prelude community bro! welcome aboard.

I like that matte black. We have another member on here that has that.

I am actually about to begin the process of doing the body work on the car so that i can repaint with a nicer more even matte black, i also am just about finished with cleaning the motor and tucking some wiring and vacuum lines

nice start! welcome to the site. check out deaflude's prelude thread, he has a really nice flat black lude as well:

deaf lude's prelude.

I might be painting mine flat primer black as well till I find a color I like and save up enough for a good paint job.

just curious as to what you did and used to paint yours. looks very stealthy!

Mine is actually rustoleum flat black

deaflude · 03-13-2012, 10:52 AM

at least it's better than Maaco

did some research and found out the black I was looking at and loving is actually satin black, flat black is way too dull unless clear coated.

now to find the stuff in spray cans...I estimate it'll cost me $150 total to do in my garage. cheap temporary fix for the rough state my ludes OEM paint is currently in till I decide to do a real legit paint job.
