I removed the dealer sticker along time ago, but finally got around to taking pictures:

Once i removed the sticker, i found out that there had once been another one under it, from when it was first bought. Anyways it still looks much better than before









I bought a pair of Amber SMD parking lights and a pair of hyper white SMD dome lights off of ebay (only the center dome light is on in the picture).











I also bought some blue LED cluster lights from Afesposi along with a pair of blue SMD back up lights!


















Also i found an amazing deal on craigslist for a new OEM front bumper cover. I don't know if you noticed in my previous photos, but there is about a 3in crack from when I rear-ended someone in the snow about 4 months ago.

Anyway i found a brand new, never used OEM bumper cover in my area for $25!!!!!!!













For my next mod, i will be ordering an OEM front lip, new exhaust trim, and possibly OEM sideskirts. Anybody know where you can find good deals on the OEM lip kits? I checked handa-accessories.com, but they are pretty expensive there.

You should check out my thread. I just shrugged off all the "nonsense" about the transmissions in the autos. Well man.... The **** is true, as much as I didn't want to believe it. And not trying to tell you how to manage your money, but knowing what I know now, it would really benefit you to save up for a 5 speed swap ASAP and not worry about anything else till that's finished. Just a friendly tip from a fellow luder, take it or leave it bro.

get rid of the vtec it looks like junk up close, less nonsense is better, besides your prelude letter stickers are already shaved and id take the one off the grille also

if youre looking for cheap performance gains? wouldnt hurt to look into some weight reduction tactics

also just curious where did you get that cheap looking plastic crap around the radio? not trying to dis it i just never seen anyone with that before, and i bet you could make it look a lot better if you rattle canned it or something

lilredlude

it one of the meta kits or whatever. accord pocket ftw.

you can get cheap replica sides off ebay.

Ok i will take a look at that, but my prelude has 105k on it and the transmission has never been rebuilt. So could it possibly be one of those rare situations where it will actually work for a long time?


The plastic just came with the stereo when i bought it, it actually looks way better in person than it does in the photos.

if you can do all the work and buy the parts yourself should only be about 1500-2000. its really not that hard to do or that many parts

My automatic got about 122,000 miles on it before the transmission went out. And admittedly, I drove it around pretty hard... I've seen people get like 185,000 miles before the tranny went. If you baby it and drive it really easy, you'll certainly make it last longer. But that doesn't change the fact that it's pretty much a "when" the tranny is gonna die, not an "if".

Not to mention, a 5 spd swap will be one of the biggest performance upgrades you can do to that thing. The manual transmissions are lighter, and don't rob as much HP as automatics so you'll certainly feel a stronger pull when you jump on it.
