today i decided to rebuild my prelude fog lights so i resealed them painted the housing and used 90-91 prelude connectors instead of the 88-89 because the 88-89 did not come with both female and male plugs, the inside housing had rust i sanded it down and used 2000 degree primer than 1200 degree black paint... overkill huh? lol, right now the glass is curing.

I love how you restored it and then started doing mods. I appreciate that, I feel more builds should be like this. I also love hoodbras on EF's. Keep up the good work !

I always feel like tow hooks look strange unless all the way on one side of the bumper. Maybe consider moving it closer the turnsignal?
