Found some old photo's while I was cleaning up my old computers HDD. My 'Lude is no where near this clean anymore due to personal "things" but hopefully that will change and these pictures will make me want to clean it up again.
Day it came out of shop with kit:
PO.com Spoon groupbuy:
S2K wheel, mugen knob (****ty boot), mugen pedals minus dead pedal, JDM fog light switch.
Don't know if anyone remembers the custom first attempt CF rear roof spoiler (25 made supposedly)
VIS CF hood, JDM fogs, ridin' dirty
And after insuranceless prick sideswiped me and blew through two red lights trying to lose me....he succeded.
weird....you post old pics here and I resurrect Jorge's old thread in OT.

My broken wings how far should I go drifting in the wind.

Nope. Never caught up to him and only had 2 letters of his out of state plate. My insurance paid + my deductable which sucked. A month after having it repainted a freak 5 minute hail storm dented the roof and trunk. About a month after that someone from my Apt complex backed into the front bumper scraping the paint off a pretty big section and cracking it slightly; left no note and the "security guard" didn't see anything. Then when visiting my family my father backed out for work forgetting my car was in the driveway and scrapped down the passenger side door and rear panel. The drivers side mirror was repainted with an airbubble under it i guess and that is starting to flake off now with each wash also. And that is the condition it has been in since. I kinda lost hope, lol.
The whole kit is the VIS Mugen replica actually. I had to make little metal brakets that i screwed into the fiberglass and bent to sit where the turns and fogs would normally bolt up. Kinda a pain but it looks great if you take your time and make sure its lined up right. And hell of a lot cheaper then buying the real kit.
I always saw pictures but never found out it was YOUR car. Wow man, you have/had such a nice Prelude, you deserve so much more than what you got.
Your story(post #8) is one of the worst stories I've ever heard for someone who's worked so hard for a car that looked so good. I really, honestly, feel like **** knowing that all happened to you, man.
I really hope you fix it back up some day, but at the same time, personally, if all that happended to me after I did all that work over the years, I would probably feel the same way you do.
I feel you man...I've been out of the game for a while and neglecting the crap out of my car...cousin and friend both backed into the car, I got into a small front end collision, but after seeing your car and looking at these forums has made me want to fix my lude...now that I'm outta college I can afford to fix it!!
What are your plans for the car??

Repaint. Possible switch to stock front bumper with a lip. JRSC for power if its in the budget after the body work and paint. I need to fix my camber also, I wear the insides of my tires out every season and they look brand new on the outsides.
