Hi everyone, my name's Stefan, and I've been in the Honda family for a while.
I had a 1992 Acura Integra RS done nice and clean, and one day ***BAM*** I got T-Boned by an elderly driver who ran a red light.

Started with this:


Had it looking like this:



Bad driver left me with this:



After Hunting for a replacement with what little money the insurance company gave me, I finally came across a suitable replacement.
Pearl White 1999 Honda Prelude Base for a steal of a deal (with all service records, maintenance done at Honda).

I took possession of the car in Sept on 2009

It looked like this:

A little rough around the edges, but I saw the potential hidden within.

The very first thing I did was compound and polish the head lights...
One done, one to go in this pic to show comparison:


Then came time to do something about the nasty curbed stock rims...
Time for sanding and paint:


with the wheels done, I spent a full day washing, compounding, and waxing the car from front to back:




Windows got 20% tint all around:


Fast forward to early spring, and I came upon a Seibon CF Hood at the auto wreckers of all places... well, it came home, and after a few hours of compounding I had this:


Now the fun begins...
I hunted all winter for some new shoes, and the internet yielded a nice set of 5Zigen MK5 rims for a good price.
I also came across some suspension, and now she's sitting nice and low on KYB AGX with H&R Race Springs:






(on a side note, I love this last picture, playing around with the Canon 30D... its actually night time, that's actually the moon, and if you look closely, you can see stars)

And because I'm a picture whore, my friend snapped off a few with his Nikon as well (Credit goes to Gregor Moss for these 2):




Any comments and/or criticism is welcome.

Cheers :biggrin:

Good eye Tom,
Installed the front suspension, but ran out of time, finished the rear suspension a couple of days later. It's low all around now (like in the loading dock pictures).

Thanks Dog!

While I'm at it...
Time for another update.

After a long day on Tuesday going from London, to Toronto, to Hamilton, and back... I picked up a couple goodies:

JDM Type S Mid-Rise Spoiler:




JDM Type S Front Lip:


I also removed the amber from the tail lights.
