Default Freshly layed R-81 Honda Prelude - 4th gen material!

Just got my car back from paint last weekend. Kept it simple and stayed with the OEM milano red. Still needs some work - need to replace all of the dull weatherstripping and needs tint badly.


Before. Notice all the oxidized paint on the roof and side mirrors. Passenger door and trunk were practically pink.

















Not a very popular car, but hope y'all like it. And if you're wondering, there isn't much under the hood.

Thanks so much for the comments guys!
I really enjoy this car so much more due to the new paint.

I've been thinking about some after market wheels, but haven't exactly seen anything that has caught my attention. Took me forever to find these wheels, 95 Prelude SE wheels. They're super rare and hard to find. If you'll notice, one of the wheels has a center cap that says "Prelude" and the rest have the Honda symbol. Reason being, I found a seller on craigslist selling just 3 with the Honda symbol. Then having to wait until I could find someone willing to just sell one - being the wheel with the "Prelude" center cap.

Have thought about polishing them (below), but that just takes so much time.

It's worth it though, did it with my Accord wheels and it was nice.

Great car, don't know why people wouldn't like it!
