SH Update - Honda Prelude Forum

Well I have had my new(er) lude since 6/20. Things have went a little slower than planned due to my neck and back still hurting a lot. Kind of hard to work on a car when you can barely move. Anyhoo, I did get a few things done and managed to wash the car yesterday. I took a few quick pics. Not great due to the sun deciding to come out in full force. So....Here you go:

This is when I got it. Totally stock.

Today.

yep, 4x4 mode. I was rolling on the stock Sh wheels until a few days ago. The rear original tires were about bald and cracking. I had these rims from the totaled lude and decided it was cheaper to put these on then buy new rubber right now. the coilovers from the previous lude were damaged so i didn't have them to transfer over

Pretty much the first mod, 35% tint on all windows except front windshield.

Had my old plate remade. Only took 5 weeks to get it.

Replaced the USDm fogs with my JDM fogs with yellow capsules. Waiting on the bumper plugs to arrive to get rid of those *** bumper things.

Had TSX retrofits with blacked out headlights on the old lude. Wanted something a little less noticeable this time around. Brand new Depo headlights with E55 Bi-Xenon Projectors. I love them.

Interior, pretty much I did the led conversion and installed the head unit. The rest of my system is setting next to me. Just using the stock speakers for now.

Had the Spoon mirrors on the old lude. I loved them. Saved my ass a few times. Tried installing them on this and shattered the one

Now I have new Level mirrors.

Spoon front & rear Strut Bars, Kevlar Plug Cover, Ngk Plugs & Wires, Type-S Intake with K&N Filter.

I have a boat load of stuff sitting here to install:
Full Stereo System
JL Audio 300/4
JL Audio 500/1
MB Quart 6.5 Components
Nakamichi 6.5 Components
Alpine 12 Disc Changer
Alpine Navigation
Alpine Type-R 12" Sub (Whenever I can find a new fiberglass box, old one was destroyed)
JL Wiring
Dynamat Xtreme (2-Bulk packs)
Type-S Cupholder
Type-S rear ashtray
Type-S valve cover
ATTS front Emblem
Real Mugen Wing
Real Mugen Rears
Honda Front Lip
Pspec Shifter
Rest of the Honda Carbon Fiber kit
Cargo net
Mugen Exhaust
Center Gauge Panel
Spoon Drain Plugs
Mugen Pedals
Samco Hoses

That should keep me busy for awhile. Probably buy winter tires for the stock Sh rims. Get some different rims for spring. Suspension may wait till spring as well. We'll see. I love the ride right now but hate the look of it.

Way to bounce back from having the old Lude totaled! Seems like you are going for a different look than the old one also. Where did you get your Depo projectors and the cargo net? Did the Depos come like that or were they like the stock headlights and you sent them to Brian or something?

bought new depos and sent them to jlude on preludepower. would have had brian do it but he was unavailable till november.

thanks for the comments

Clean lude! What tires are on those aftermarket rims?
Where can i find mugen pedals and a spoon front strut bar?

thepreludedude · 08-12-2008, 08:45 PM

yokohama parada spec-2 tires in 215/35/18. they stick very well in the dry. have about 10,000 on them and starting to get noisey.

the pedals and bar, just keep a eye out on here or preludepower. pedals are a little harder to find. actually i think someone is selling the pedals on here.
