Bummer to see that happened! Looks like you decided to keep the X, eh?
Love that color on the Prelude- so many contrasting color combos can really make it stand out.

Those headlights dont look retrofitted, are they?

ehh thats not to bad of a fix. but it looks nice! BUT why auto????

whats retrofitted?

i don't like manuals, i like to relax while i drive. i know how to drive manuals, just don't like em. plus its tiponic, so i can downshift still

Hopefully cops around you arent very abundant, as you're likely to get pulled over for that.

I'd def. consider retro's or even ebay projectors. Better output, safer for those on the street

Definitely. They blind people. Since you already bought ur new lamps, you might as well retrofit them. If you haven't, then get a cheap pair on eBay.

ok, now i have time/remembered to make a build thread.
I crashed, but now i have it back.
Here it is on the way to the body shop.


And heres my old bumper:


This is the day i got it back from the body shop :)


...








I also have a black Honda emblem on the back hatch.

I removed the intake resonators, sapped blue LED's in the gauges(planning on full LED conversion).


And pretty soon i'm getting my tax return, so i'm getting tint. I'm thinking new stereo, and maybe speakers.
I thought about getting my wheels powder-coated..

I'm open to any suggestions to performance mods or anything, just around like a 1000.

More to come..

i have the front lip, but i can't get into my driveway with it on. and i want some new foglights, i'll just get JDM replicas. serves the same perpose for much less money

I like the oem foggies. I just paint matched the shrouds to the car, looks great IMO!


your car looks fine without the lip man, can't blame you for not wanting to trash it on the driveway.
