Default My Honda Prelude pictures - Need advice

To the mod, if I'm not allowed to post this, I apologise in advance.

I need some advice from you great guys at honda-tech.com. This is how my car used to look like:

And this is what it looks like now:

I need your opinion on this, because I can't seem to make my mind up/Need advice about something:

1. Those tribal designs on the side of the car - Do you think they suit the car, or do you think I should take them off (i.e. They looked better before)?

2. I want to change the car colour to pure white - Should I bother?

3. Anything else I should add to the car to make it look good?

4. Anyone got any pics of how I should do the interior? My interior right now is the original Black interior that the Prelude comes with. I want to add trims, new steering wheel, new seats etc - Any ideas on what I should add?

5. What about spoiler - Do you think it looks better with the current one, or with one of those wireframe spoilers (Like the one at: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DOUBLE-B...wItem)?

Thanks in advance.

Well, I just saw your Prelude, and sorry mate, but I reckon you should drive your one off a cliff. Preferably with you inside it. My God, I wouldn't take that Prelude if you gave it to me for free...

Remove the body kit, graphics, hood, neons, tails and spoiler and sell them. Leave the interior stock and spend the money on all motor mods.

I honestly can have some respect for the work he put into is car....the following is exempt from my previous statement, the wing and neons. But if you are going for the bodykit "rice" "F&F" (or just what you like) "look" i think it would look better with some after market maybe 17in wheels...personally i think the stock wheels are fine if you are going for a more widely accepted sleek, OEM/JDM, clean look.IF that is truely what you want to do with your $$ and car...rice on!

I personally would take that wing off of there...IMO its a little big. I dont care much for body kits or anything like that...But if thats what you like...GO FOR IT! Don't listen to what people say...DO what you want. If you like it, Then GREAT!

If you like it

I have an OEM wing if you want it.

personally, I think bodykits are ok - nothing too crazy though. I have an aftermarket bumper on mine - and spoiler actually, nothing like you have, BUT if thats how you like it - good job.

Its not a disgrace to the preludes - because 15/16 people on the streets don't even know what a prelude is. THey see stuff like that, and apply it to the 'honda' name in general. Ask a random person what that car is, and they'll say "Accord"...........as long as you don't have an h22 in there........no disgrace to the prelude.

Oh, to answer one of your original questions - I don't like white period on that car. Maybe a darker color will dilute some of the stuff yuo have on there.

yer only getting flamed because this is a tech forum. how your car looks is entirely up to you. personally i think it looks fine. could definitely use some different/bigger rims for a better look.

those of you telling him to sell that stuff and put it into the motor are retarded. obviously how it looks takes priorty to him... and thats what he asked about. and theres no way that thing could be turboed and last more than a week on what he spent on cosmetics.

yes, he asked for your opinions and yes hes obviously getting them. tho seems like most arent giving him opinions on what he asked for. ill agree with it being a tad too ricey for my taste.. and i have a kit on mine.. but in the end he just asked this question in the wrong place.

Wow, that is hardcore disgusting in my opinion. Im glad you like your car, but if you want my opinion I think that you should make the car look clean, and not like it came out of transformers and is a halfway transformed Prelude/catfish. Have a nice day.
