Well here is my project for a while. Got a lot of choices to make as far as what hood, bumper, fenders, radiator, ect that I want to go with.

just playing, looks like such a project.

Sir_Nick · 02-10-2004, 09:10 PM

What happened to the car? Shouldn't be too bad to fix as long as the frame is ok. Getting the hood to fit might be a problem.

I would get:
oem fenders and bumper
TypeS lip
CF hood
JDM fogs!

TooFastForYa · 02-10-2004, 09:15 PM

So far this is what is on my mind.....
All VIS
Mugen Front
Z3 Fender
CF OEM Hood
Black Widow Rear
Undecided on skirts, need to find some that matchup well with both bumpers.
JDM Fogs of course.

Sir_Nick · 02-10-2004, 09:26 PM

Nothing matches with Mugen front and Black Widow rear. Either get an aggresive kit all around or a clean mugen/oem style all around. Mixing the styles doesn't work usually.

All VIS =

Mugen Front =

z3 fenders = mehh...your choice, i don't think they look good with the smooth lines of the prelude
CF OEM Hood =

Black Widow Rear =

won't line up with the mugen front AT ALL!!! you should get mugen rears
Side Skirts - Well with the mugen front, i'd suggest getting mugen sides as well.....or the OEM sides
Jdm fogs =

TJN_Prelude · 02-10-2004, 09:54 PM

mugen rear oem sides and oem front. maybe seibon cf lip. no mugen/bw combo. and no to z3 fenders. thats just my opinion but wat do i know

thepreludedude · 02-10-2004, 10:01 PM

kind of looks like mine when i hit a deer

Keith · 02-10-2004, 10:59 PM

Hey, are you from STL?! Check us out! -> www.stlpreludeclub.com

I have a driver's side airbag and front signal lights if you need. How much did you pick it up for?

Keith

natcc99 · 02-10-2004, 11:04 PM

WOW

Looks like a cool project.
How's the engine?
How much did you get the car for? (if you don't mine me asking)

Have fun!

TooFastForYa · 02-10-2004, 11:12 PM

The engine is good, car start and idles nice. Car has 54k miles. I picked it up for $3850. =)

Keith, I'm in Peoria, IL. Once I get the car done though I may make a trip down if you have a big get together. Let me know what you what you want for the airbag, still shopping around for them. As far as the turn signals, I'm going to go with clear ones so I won't be needing them.

Great find! PM me a reasonable price/offer and it's yours. I think we have a member who has front bumper that you might be interested in. And other member who has a Mugen kit (uninstalled) that is looking for a good home...

Keith

TooFastForYa · 02-10-2004, 11:31 PM

The VIS front Mugen Replica is the whole bumper and not just a lip correct?

Keith, think you will have the airbag for a while? Right now I am in contact with a guy that may have both airbags and the control module but if that falls though I will be very interested in yours.

Thanks

Keith · 02-10-2004, 11:36 PM

Yeah, that's fine... I have one, and so do another 2 STLPC members.

The Mugen body kit is the whole kit as far know... I believe it's not a VIS one. The front bumper is a complete bumper replacement, not just a lip.

Keith

siklude · 02-11-2004, 09:10 AM

I wouldnt go with a mugen front and black widow rear...it just doesnt match. the mugen front is to clean (jdm) and the rear is too agressive. mix and match is okay, if you put it togther nicely. either clean or aggressive. I wouldnt go with z3's personally but if you got an aggressive kit z3's just might work.

BTW: great find...

pearl type sh · 02-11-2004, 09:16 AM

like sir nick said keep it all one theme.

i see you live in snow so probally big kits are out. go with a nice wwr rear. mugen sides greddy front. cf hood of coarse. red seats.

bronze rims.

BOOM
