Seibon makes a bunch of custom carbon stuff and I'm sure there are others too so yeah, it's real.

Why would some one spend all that money on CF? They could do a nice turbo set up for cheaper and make power...

Different strokes for different folks I guess....personally I like the way a CF hood looks, but I'm not a fan of half the car being painted, the other half being CF. Just looks odd and incomplete to me...now if I saw a Prelude that was 100% CF on the exterior, that'd be a kodak moment for sure

Damn, that's just way too much CF and to me, it just doesn't even look right. If I was to see that car from a distance, I would think that the guy wrecked his car and just never painted the car

I like the front bumper and fenders, I think it would look great on a black car.The rest of the car just isn't my style

That car looks like it was recovered from a wreck. The front and the back were all replaced; taillights, headlights, etc. Rather than buying stock parts and repainting, they replaced with cf parts. This car is probably saving about 70-80 pounds with all of that cf. Nothing worth that money. If you want to drop noticable weight on a prelude, this is not the cheapest way to go about it.

Well, it's the same as having a fiberglass bodykit and cf hood and trunk.

The only thing SH on that car are the wheels. The skirts are base model and so is the interior. That alone should throw suspicion on the mileage and car history.

anyone notice that the airbag cover on the steering wheel appears to have been replaced? I do like the style of the front bumper, if it were urethane instead.
