Almost totally put back together after a complete restoration...I need to make a build thread because it was a very involved process.
The color is Cavalry Blue from the Toyota FJ Cruiser. It looks light in bright light and it can also look pretty dark in dim light.

Thanks man, engineering school plus working on a bunch of Chevy stuff put off the Prelude off for a while, but I was able to spend the past 5-6 months restoring it. Stripped to frame, new windows, trim, OEM seals, OEM fasteners, new front bulkhead, shaved sunroof, etc etc... Painted it myself with help from Koji (Saikou on here).
Interior is not all back in, but its pretty close.

Thanks guys, here's a couple more pics...need to make build thread
With the thick clear we put on, the color changes from looking like a an almost-pastel-blue to a dark-gray-blue depending on the lighting.

This is my daily 95 Honda Prelude S 5MT with 202k on the original motor/trans/clutch. I'm the 4th owner. It's a daily/beater for my 03 AV6-6MT. Good reliable car.

Hawkze, can't remember, did you have the l-f carbon sunroof plug, or just weld a plate in?
Seeing your car makes me really want to grab a set of 4x114 TE-37 my buddy has for sale!

I had the L-F CF plug, but after much debate I decided it would never look right once the car was painted so I got rid of it.
What's in there now is an OEM metal sunroof panel with some custom brackets and Kevlar filler in the gaps....and lots of block sanding to get the roof smooth.
