This car is pretty special in Netherlands because not many people modify their cars this way and it is the only white Prelude BB9 in Netherlands. Us, WOH team living in CA we see many cars like this so I want to get opinions from variety of people to see what you guys think about this and if we should feature it or not. Please let us know.

thanks!

mm if you had non-frugal parts then I'd say yes. Makes it look sorta cheap. And man, black face with polish lip wheels just need to die out already. You asked...I told.

Its pretty generic. Today you need super rare parts and some unique stuff on a honda to make any kind of impression. Over there its probably great. But megan, drag wheels, etc. arent feature worthy parts IMO.

Why do you need a bunch of random people to make this decision for you? Seems kind of unprofessional if you ask me/

Yea, I mean, it's definitely clean, just when you see tons of people on here with mugen and spoon parts out the ***, havin a tenzo r intake and other so-so parts just prolly wont cut it for a feature, but it's still definitely clean

ok cool thanks for the feedback all. For California standards this was average, however for Netherlands it was special. So wanted to get non-californian feedback. I think we'll pass on this one.
btw we are always looking for new features so if you know of one send me a pm

Cool car, but no. CF hood, trunk, white car, and black generic wheels with polished lip, The look is played out.

I guess I can understand the different locale thing, but there's LOTS of clean Honda's spread across all of Europe... so, this one looks "okay" (read ---> clean) but not special IMO
