I've been on this forum for a long time now and it just occurred to me that I've only shown pics of bits-n-pieces of my baby over the years and never the whole package. Don't know why because I'm very proud of her! Since she is Miss August on the 2007 Preludeonline calendar, I thought it was time to show her off! I bought her new in '97 and have taken great care of her and added many tasteful mods.
edit: Here's a full size pic

Thanks! It's Eucalyptus Green Pearl with a carbon fiber hood. It's so shiny that it refelects absolutely everything - all original paint.
Car was re-painted right? Looks like some pearl was added. Post some more pics.
Nope - all original paint I use the "strip off old wax, clay bar, polish and apply fresh wax" method to keep it looking like new (or possibly even better).

Beautiful car. Do you still have the resonator connected to the intake?
Thanks! Yes, the resonator is still in place. I like the authoritative, yet civilized, sound that I get with the Mugen header, hi-flow cat and Thermal R&D exhaust.
The CF radiator shroud was made by DefconSkylude - he did a group buy awhile back. It really didn't fit that well at the front (above the grill) because it protruded too far and prevented the hood from closing well so I trimmed off about 1/4" all around the front edge and added the trim to give it a finished look (it's that self-adhesive door-edge molding that you get at Pep Boys and the like). To finish it off, I used the 1/4 turn panel fasteners that Honda uses everywhere to fasten it to the grill instead of the recommended double sided tape.
Do you have anymore close ups of the projector retro-fit? It appears in the last photo of the pass/headlight that there's no shroud...only the trim bezel. I'm getting as many ideas together before I start doing mine. Yours look pretty good.
Here's a close up of one ot the retrofits. It was 100% custom. I made the bezel from a stainless steel container that I found at Bed Bath & Beyond and had the rest (the elliptical part) machined from stainless steel.
