    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.

    Yea, it wasn't the goal for him. It is still a fast little car, but 1) he doesn't plan on keeping it, and 2) he just wanted something to play with and build. Honestly, he will prolly only keep it for a month or so more now that it is finished. He likes building more than driving. Gives him something to keep his mind busy. I am the same way. that is why I am building my Conquest Tsi...

    Yea, it's never easy to sell FWD folks on the Staggered look. it's all how you are brought up around cars i guess. It's all good.

    Eeh....I don't like it. Cool that he did it. But the sideskirts and rear wheel fitment look like crap. The car is still fwd regardless of staggered fitment on hondas nowadays. Paint looks good though

    Yea, I foget what they are made for. i think a Mustang or G35 or something. I forget what lug pattern the Prelude has. If it's 5x4.5 then they are Mustang, G35, 350Z wheels.

    The staggered look goes well the widened rear, even though it's fwd. The body kit, hood scoops, and interior look like ass though.

    his fit and finish could be a touch better (on the outside, inside looks good), not feeling those hood scoops (although i like the touch of contrast on the hood), and who does wheels and doesnt mod suspension?
    nice color though.

    for being completely out of touch with current style trends its seems like a quality job. Im sure for someone in the 50s - 60s all imports in the last 10 yrs look the same.

    Tell your dad to black-out the mesh grill. It would flow a little better than I think. Not my style, but at least it was done well.

    Nopi Nationals 2001 called... they want their 1st place prelude back.

    Work looks like it was done decently well... but overall... Gong it and send it home.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    if the mesh was black, the scoops taken off and the exhaust didnt sound ricey (im assuming it is, simply because it is a honda) then that would be a decent ride, not my style, but decent. I've seen worse, I've seen better, but to no avail, its his style, as long as he does things right, it cant be THAT bad.

    No ricy fart pipe on it. Just stock exhaust. The mesh is being painted black, he already painted the rear black, just had shoulder surgery so the rest is on hold.
    As Stormhammer said, My Dad is 48 and the Black 88 ConQuest Tsi SHP that is for sale is his.

    Here is the Conquest Tsi SHP for sale
