It's pretty much big enough to hold your manual and insurance card. The optional armrest storage space is a joke too.

you could theoretically make it deeper, i dont think any other glove box would fit in there, and there is a lot of empty space back there

I love my glovebox, you know the one in the back that runs the full length... It owns all other glove boxes ! Just something that us in 92 got a taste of

thats exactly what i was thinking. You just cut out the top/back of it, and extend it. just fiberglass a long box...i wanna do this just so it can fit a small DVD player

Does your prelude have a passenger airbag? My '91 prelude (92 US)does and there doesn't seem to be much space above it, so if you dont have an airbag there I cannot see any reason stopping you from making use of the space. Maybe it was designed by the same guy who designed the rear seats.
