Installed my GC/Koni setup a month back, but I was too lazy to post up pictures. Don't mind the wet floor; I was washing my car in the garage, lol. Also, I recently installed a home depot lip to my OEM lip due to excessive scraping. I would love to lower the car more, but I'm already having trouble with the roads.

Next on the list are some new wheels. Feedback is welcomed.

Same here. Or gold. Or bronze. Or blue. Or green. Or red. Or any other fucced up color. I don't see why he'd want to get different wheels at all. That car looks great the way it sits now. Later, QD.

Nice job on the HD lip, best looking one I've seen for sure. No rivets ftw, nice car man. Some nice polished rims would look awesome.

Black wheels are sometimes nice, but I've never been fond of them. I was thinking some 17" silver or hyperblack wheels would look nice. Still debating on what wheels to get.

Thanks for all the comments. The HD lip is really just meant to protect my OEM lip; it looking good is just an added bonus. Reps when I can.

Black, whether hyper or plain or gloss, will NOT look good on your car. Polished wheels would look good. Definitely, if it were mine, I'd stick with the same style wheel. It looks great on your car. I also would NOT do 17s.

But alas, it is not mine so do what makes you happy. Later, QD.

I appreciate the input. Nothing is set in stone. If anything, maybe I'll gain some sense and just leave the car alone.

That would be beautiful. And original. Lolol. Maybe polish the ones you have on there. I think those wheels are awesome on the car. Later, QD.

Definitely on the polished stock rims. If you do get anything new I would say polished or matte silver would look great. But what do I know, I dont own it.

Yeah, good eye. I'd never thought of it until I saw it on this guy's tC. The weatherstrip is held on by double sided tape and some screws on the bottom of the OEM lip. If ever I got tired of it, I could easily remove it and it would look like it was never there.

Thanks for the comments!

Looks very nice. Reminds me of my old one. I would say get the factory sh side skirts for it, and keep your stock wheels on it. They look fine

Those are SH skirts, the car is an SH model. If you're referring to the optional side skirts; I might consider them down the line.

Lol, yeah. I wash it every now and then with a bucket of soap and water.

I don't really care for this generation Prelude, only because I really like the lines of the previous gen.

that said, the car looks awesome and I can't wait to see it with some wheels (x2 for hope you don't get black, but to each his own)

x2.

and I'm usually not a fan of ludes at all. Most assuredly the best, non-stupid application of a home depot lip i've seen. :yes:
