Default De-Ricing the Prelude - Part 1

So as some of you may know, my Prelude has had a body kit for quite some time. I bought it that way, and it was a good deal, so I got it. I never got around to getting the kit off, because I didn't want to waste the money to buy the stock parts.

However, I offered to trade anyone my whole kit for their stock parts, and I found someone to take the offer. His front bumper is totally messed up, but I can deal with it fornow. I will still be paint the car, getting new wheels, and a few other things. Anyway, let me know what you think.

Granted I always love the look of OEM over a body kit, but the kit you had on your car accented the intercooler nicely. Anyway, nice ride.

If you're asking if it looks better with the kit on or as it stands now I would have to go with the body kit.. at least its clean

Yea I know. But like I said, this is just the first step. Shes going to be kinda ghetto for a while, but it will be worth it when its done.

Well, not really. I've pretty much wanted to change it for quite a while. I mean, it was okay when I bought it back in '01 and I was like 17 or 18. But now I just don't want it too stand out as much. Even though most of HT did hate my kit, I thought it looked alright. But, I had this oppertunity to swap it, so i took.
