hey, clean car. u ever think about selling those xd9's lmk thanks.

chubbs · 01-26-2011, 09:02 AM

Looks so good man, and if your allowing criticism the only thing I don't like is in the first few pictures your muffler looks like it hangs low. Something real stupid I know. hahaha.

biglegs · 01-26-2011, 09:19 AM

haha, first few pics was my stock muffler! sitting where it was from the factory!!!

sorry! no intentions on selling my wheels, but i'll keep you in mind if i ever do!

Phryxis · 01-26-2011, 02:34 PM

looks good! love the weds.

lip kit and you're golden!

E-Money · 01-26-2011, 05:30 PM

i cant tell, but they look like potenza Re-11s?

biglegs · 01-26-2011, 06:36 PM

re-760 sports!

karloz · 01-26-2011, 09:25 PM

Very nice pics, very nice Lude.
Love the wheels.
What's the specs on those? Size, offset, width...? They fit so nice.

Like mentioned above, front lip and it's done.

Also, are you planning to run badgeless or is something in the works?
I'm running badgeless right now to see how I feel about it, but if I'm gonna keep it that way I think I'll have to go to a bodyshop and fill the holes in.

biglegs · 01-26-2011, 09:30 PM

wheel specs= 17x8.5+42

i am running completly badgeless right now and wont go back, i used screw caps that i painted with oem touch up paint. i love how it looks without any emblems. way cleaner imo. i would have them filled, but i want ALL of the holes filled, engine bay included. I just spend my money on going faster though, so i went the poor mans route on the shaving. looks good imo, dont really notice the caps anymore. that and they are smaller than a dime so.

CTrees · 01-27-2011, 08:19 AM

Very clean, when my car is done i'll have to come down and get some pics with you and chuitron some time.

exhaust clip...

YouTube - 98 Prelude SH 3" vibrant exhaust

98Lude-R · 01-29-2011, 02:45 PM

Damn Biglegs... idk what to say. I feel repetitive by stating just how awesome your prelude looks but I mean wow... I really mean it!

That engine bay looks so damn gorgeous, the rainbow effect on your header from use flows so well with the blue valve cover and intake and plug wires.... Did you paint your original cover Electron Blue???? If you did, high five on a job well done. It looks clean as hell.

Is that a Kteller 3" kit, or did you fab that exhaust up yourself?

and HURRY THE HELL UP with this build thread you are planning. I wanna see it all dude. =D

Honda4Life · 01-29-2011, 02:50 PM

Looks good. Any interior pics?

Thanks for the kind words! It is almost a ebp blue, but its from a can. It looks good, due to the amount of time and prep work I put into it. I used the Duplicolor Metalcast. It's a two part system, you spray the base coat which is a silver flake, then you top it with the blue whhich is almost a candy (translucent)...
The exhaust is kteller, I highly reccomend them, the kit was awesome! I did the work myself putting it in and getting it welded up. I have pics of that process that I need to load here!
I got a few new things on the way, the new IM should be here pretty soon, as well as my greddy emanage and a tune then might be upgrading to some bc racing coilovers!

Nice! Lots of boys and gals use that piece on here, a def. must for any luder. I hear the differences are night and day with a few braces put in. A rear anti-sway bar will do wonders.

How much did you lose for it?
