Default Help make my Prelude pretty...

Here are the images: (no time to wash car yet)















I usually don't like body kits, but finding that a lip kit costs an insanely amount, I'll learn to like my car. I am limited on money so no crazy modifications. I like the front, the sides are molded, and the rear is quite ackward. Should I get a BC rear bumper or stock? I have a new Hella blue lense foglight, should I install it?

I plan to:
- paint corner lights amber
- install yellow headlights (car won't last long to benefit HID)
- tint (35F, 20R, or 35/20 all around?)
- paint rims
- drop 1" on sportlines w/ Tokico shocks

What are your recommendations?

HAHAHA, that's what I was going to say.

Sad to see people spend money to ruin the look of the car.

Well personally, i like the car - with the exception of the rear bumper. Looks pretty clean and decent.

step 1: get that "body kit" off the rear way ugly
step 2: JDM headlights
step 3: better rims
step 4: suspension
step 5: engine mods

i think the kit looks fine, especially since the front mesh is painted too, its not the ugly aluminum color. what youve got listed sounds good. lower, rims, tint, etc.

the back bumper looks really bad, but the rest isn't too bad... i'm not a body kit GUY (), but that's tasetful, to an extent. the r33 rear bumper wouldn't look too bad with what you have, if you don't want to get rid of everything else. i'd say throw some 17s on there, and then engine work... then boost

wow! its really nice man! keep it the way it is, but change the rear bumber, get a stock one then you'll be alright. Do you have an h22a in there? or what do you have in there?

Car looks great IMO, loving the front big mouth bumper. I would leave the exterior and concentrate on the suspension and engine.


If u want to part with the front bumper ever, i will buy it
