Actually its more like 1 question. My friend has a 5th gen (hondaprelude7) and my question is.

How come theres so many parts jdm or not for mostly every other hnda, but when it comes to 5th gens, theres very little you can find for it? Did companys just forget about it or what? Please dont flame me for this, i knwo it may sound like a noob question.

 

because everyone and their momma drive a civic or an integra. I think thats why they stop making preludes because no one was buying them.

 

Ya but what about jdm parts fro example. Civics and Tegs have pages of parts, for 5th gens its like Fogs, emblems, cup holder, gauges, and maybe a few bodykits like Mugen. Why didnt japanese companys use it like JUN or Spoon

 

It wasent a really popular can here and in Japan.

 

Sales numbers

There are 10 civics and 10 integras for every 5 gen prelude.

i think its even lower then that.

 

Yea I feel ya. I have a prelude and Ive noticed it first hand, when looking for parts or trying to sell parts... the market for it is just not that vast in comparison to the other hondas. Everyone tried to talk me out of buying a 5th gen... but Ive loved every gen lude, especially this one. so Ill deal

 

Im quite happy with the way the 5th gen prelude is stock. I don't need many other parts than OEM.

Although I wish I could find some stuff, cuz sometimes aftermarket can be cheaper then Honda parts.

 

yea its true that everyone has civics and integras. but im glad when i was lookin at cars i went with my 5th lude cause i live in houston and we have a pretty big import scene and integras and civic si's get stolen here everyday. like no other, its pretty bad. just about everyone i know that has an si or gsr has gotten it stolen or broken into at some point

 

There was only like 70,000 97-01 Preludes sold in the US.

i feel so special.


Anyways majorly besides the sales issues, i think the prelude is on the heavy luxorious side of the scene, hence why I bought mine.

Thats houston for you. I grew up in dallas and had my dodge truck jacked at a party late one night. Altho Dallas has a higher crime rate... what do you expect, its houston. You should come live in Austin, alot safer man, and CLEANER. well and the women.
