Default what are your prelude's next 3 upgrades?

powertrain, cosmetic, or anything else... what does your prelude have in store?

Mine, powdercoated calipers. as close a match to brittany blue metallic paint as possible or maybe gold (not blingin' gold though)

get my custom spark plug cover machined and anodized (post pics later)

powder-coat raw alum. intake tube dark grey

heck and while I'm at it I'll get the car running... I have a lot of **** to do but those will probably be the first 3. exhaust coming after that and re-piant /bodywork

1.) replace cracked windshield (******* Chicago winters...)
2.) replace valve seals
3.) fix rust spots on rear wheel wells (again, ******* Chicago winters...)

not too glamorous, but necessary...

1. Actually change the rotors and pads that have been in my back seat for a month now.
2. De-stain the interior.
3. Repaint; apparently Faded Milano Red isn't the hot color anymore, lol.

1) Switch to a Cold Air Intake from a Short ram

2) Invest in a AEM Uego wide band o2 sensor and finally tune my bitch

3) Wait till after winter and have my car de-pinstriped and detailed

I'm sure I'll think of some more **** between now and then

EDIT:

4) Engine Torque Damper

5) Seibon CF hood

That's it...I promise...

Id tell you but you wouldnt believe me so... ill go with the upgrades after the first 3
1. stiffer springs to support the extra weight
2. Custom rims to line up with the outside of the body so it still kinda looks like a normal prelude, ha!
3. some new fancy 275 bfgs for the rear and 255 for the front.
im not lieing i swear.

1. Alpine 6x9 Type R
2. Alpine CDA-9855
3. OEM sides and Rear lip ( got the front just sitting in the garage for 4 months now )
4. Get a respray in the spring
5. Get some Nuespeed sport springs
6. Get some Koni adj. shocks
7. HID retrofit
8. Wheels

As you can see I went pass 3 but after that it's all fantasy for now. The headunit and speakers should be in my car after this weekend. I know it's not performance related but oh wells.
