Hey there guys! I'm having some busy times, so I couldn't reply any sooner.
@HooberSi: LOL, thanks...
I really don't know the name for the headunit... It's a no name brand. I'll take a picture of the packaging so you can see for yourself.
It didn't need any fabricating at all... just plug&play. It mounts directly to the factory holes.
And yeah, I installed the temp gauge myself... It took just couple of minutes to widen the hole a bit. On the other hand, wiring is quite time consuming if not straight pain in the ass.
As for the future plans... Yeah, I do have them. It never stops.
I'm currently working on the rear spoiler... It's going to be a bit similar to the mugen, but better. At least I hope so. I'll post some pics when it's done.
I would also like to have the hood and the hood spoiler made out of blue hybrid carbon fibers... And also the rear one when we're at it.
We'll probably also make a custom rear bumper as we did the front one... But mugen rears will be just fine for now.
I also need to install soccer3303's rear LED's... We're still working on the PWM circuit.
BTW Daniel, would you happen to have any PWM circuits on stock? I never got your reply...
@Solid: The hood bonnet spoiler helps A LOT! The hood stays calm even at extreme speeds (up to 270 km/h). I was amazed what difference it makes when I drove around without it for a month. It also helps a lot to reduce the amount of water being sprayed on the windshield when driving behind someone in the rain and the wipers also work more efficiently because of it.

I did it myself... I gave up on the idea that I'll find a decent one on the market. But I don't regret that decision.
I can only help you get the carbon tubes if you decide to make one similar like mine. But mine are 52mm... I doubt that you could fit 60mm in the vent piece.

I really don't think it's possible... There is perhaps 2-3mm reserve with my design but not enough for 60mm gauges. The problem is that there is no space left under the center vent. I hardly squeezed mine in there.
Basically, you just cut 3 oval holes in the vent piece and shape them so that the gauge tube sits in the way you want it. You then glue the 3 tubes to the vents and cut them so that the gauges sit in there. Here's a close up, so you can have a better idea what I'm talking about...

it looks really good. has the paint started to peel at all due to the heat? just wondering, how come didnt you paint it super marine blue?
aneet
The paint is very resistant to the heat... It's chipped in a couple of places but that's all my fault for not being careful when I washed my engine bay.
I used this color bc I wanted it to match the SiR cover as much as possible. It came out quite nice, except for maybe being a bit too bright. But I haven't seen the original, so I can't be too sure about that.
I might change it to red someday... I have an extra valve cover sitting in the garage, so why not give it a try.

I noticed you have one of the 3 spoke steering wheels (like the JDM ones), but also have cruise control. Is that standard on the EUDM Preludes? I thought the JDM steering wheels didn't allow for CC. I would love to have a steering wheel just like yours but still get to keep cruise. BTW, LOVE your car!!!

i could sell you mine, if you're really interested, PM me.

I haven't posted any new pics for quite some time, so here are a couple of new ones...
I also had an unexpected engine swap in the meantime... I was stupid enough to rev it to 8400 (almost 9krpm on the tacho) with stock valvetrain and I guess I was just asking for trouble. The result was that one of the valves fall into combustion chamber and the engine recycled itself completely.
On the other hand, I'm one lucky bastard... In a weeks time I managed to find a JDM euroR engine with 41k on it. I runs like new and it goes even better than the old one. Will have it dynoed in the near future, but it should be over 210whp.
The irony is that it all started with the euroR emblem and now suddenly actually means something. I couldn't be more happy... I love my prelude! LOL

Btw, if there's somebody that would like to have the front hood bonnet spoiler let me know...
The guy who did my bumper, sideskirts and the (unfinished) rear spoiler now makes them for sale and has already sold a couple to Germany and Austria.
For those of you that don't know... This is a 100% replica of the genuine Honda piece! No cheap copy...
As far as I know, the price is $250 + shipping. Could work something out with the price if there would be a group buy.
Here's a couple of pics of the finished product:

@DaRawkus8, I used to have a stock rear spoiler but I didn't like after I installed the mugen rears, so I sold it...
However, I should be getting a new custom one pretty soon. I'll post it here when it's finished.
@all: Thx for the compliments...

Huh, finally got to install those rear LEDs... I bought the circuit from user soccer3303, so that part was easy.
I then wanted to use the same LEDs for position and brake light so I needed to make a PWM circuit and a MOSFET switch to bypass it when braking.
I got most of the knowhow from hidplanet.com...
I also don't want open those taillights ever again... That was tough.
So, here it is... hope you like it.
And a couple extra...

Defintely the best prelude I have ever seen, and it just keeps getting better! Love the LED tails I want them bad. Good positioning of the LEDs. Anyone that has the know how what to do them for me? Exact copy.
^^ Hey that turned out great! Sorry I didn't reply, I just checked this thread for the first time in a long time. Nice work my friend. Opening those taillights is a HUGE *****, but you did it well.
I’m surprised no one asked about your back up sensors. What brand is that? And does it only give off a “beep� when you are approaching something? Or are there some sort of LED lights to tell you how close you are?
I'm sure you are getting tired of hearing this but I love your lude!

The sensors came with the headunit and I can see on the screen how far exactly it is to the nearest obsticle. It also shows rear view cam at the same time.
There is also a beeper, but I don't use it.
Anyway, haven't posted in quite a while and here are some new shots. This time with a prototype spoiler. We're working on another, improved version with integrated brake lamp, but it will be mostly similar to this one.

The spoiler looks like a VIS Mugen replica and the front bumper looks like it has the USDM lip molded on, but both are slightly different. Not sure how you're doing it, but you're making the lines on the Prelude look absolutely amazing! I love all the subtle modifications that only Prelude owners would recognize, your car is my favorite.
Awesome car, hot girl, gorgeous view, sweet house.. can it get any better?
