Default RHD 98' SIR Spec Prelude<<<<< NOVA

Well ive been on Honda tech for a while but never really post, or browsed much but i started to get on it more often and check the forum out.
so heres just a short intro/show off what ive been working on for the past 2 years.
Names Tae and this car is my first car, i bought it end of 10th grade and did alot of ricer mods to it, then actually started to modd it begining of junior year when i got a somewhat a high paying job.
i took 2 years in the automotive and going to school for automotive. so the car has never been touched by others. everything was done by me or close friends.

here is a short preview of my build thread. just couple of pics to skeep through it.

but car is a 98' prelude base
the front clip i used was a 98 SIR BB8 prelude ( 4ws)

the day i bought it


went through these style/looks

























and what i thought was finished


and Heres the RHD :D
Thanks to my Sponsor ELITEJDM













GOT THE FIREWALL OUT!!!!!! :D


picked up my Two tone Ap2 seats!!








did alittle Spring CLeaning,lol\
yes i know my header is still nasty looking, im planning on switching it out or maybe try to save this one




Familiar Face?

All and all. People should be aware of how much it actually cost.

Edit: The paint job it can be a hefty $1500 to $2500.
it is exspensive. but if you do the work yourself its cheap.
i didnt even spend anywhere near what you posted. i only paid 800 for the front clip.
and rest was all on me and my friends.
and the paint job i spent less than 200, cause i painted it myself

My first car was a BB6, and seeing yours make me miss it. That interior looks amazing. Love the wheels and offset. Very nicely done

Wow.. what kind of paint? I've been pricing stuff out and I'm not coming anywhere near 200.

Car looks great! I'm pretty sure I've seen every picture you just posted on PP, I remember when you first joined there.
