Western's Prelude.

[Western.]

I figured out that I haven't posted any pictures of my car on here yet, so here's a couple of the best of them as she stands now:

Looks nice. Stock... But nice.


I have a weakness for 4th Gen's myself. Carry on good sir.

Stock is good

Ive always loved those preludes. What happened to the front corner?

I've only got a guess as to what happened there. The girl that had it before me did it somehow. There was also a couple of more marks that were less severe on the opposite back corner and on the same side rear-quarter panel, but thanks to some Eagle One metal polish and some serious elbow grease, I took care of most of it. That's the only spot where it's actually paint off instead of on top of the paint. I'm trying to figure out whether touch-up paint will be sufficient or if I should just get the whole front bumper repainted. Thanks for the compliment tho!

Looks great. Love that color. How is college going for ya? I still haven't made it out to a meet yet after the first one I went to and met ya, haha

Thanks bro. It's going well. It's only a couple weeks in now, and I'm coming home this weekend to change out my headlights back to the stock ones, change my oil, and a couple of other things.

Stock is good

Yep. My goal is to do enough to the exterior/lighting to where everyone knows it's my Lude, but nothing extravagant. The simpler the better.

[JDMJ]

Next to last picture is pretty cool.

Needs moar low. There.... i said it.

Yea, I've had the thing for 2 years, and the only time I've been able to do stuff is during the summer because the rest of the time I'm at school. So more will be done in the future. At the same time, I hate the fact myself that it's still so stock looking.

Yup, hopefully that's one of the things that's going to happen this summer!!

Eh, do what you can, when you can. We've all been there.

I feel you dude,i have big plans for my car but being in school means no money.

[Drummerboy]

I may be buying Coilovers soon, so my current suspension will be up for sale. Skunk2 sleeves, KYB AGX's.

[Western.]

How did you like your Skunk2 sleeves and KYB AGX's and why are you selling them?

[Drummerboy]

I love them. agx's have adjustable stiffness settings, and the skunk2's can go crazy low or close to stock, so you have a huge range of heights/handling combos to play with. I'm upgrading to full coilovers just so i can dial in more. I got a fairly aggressive set of wheels that are going on the prelude soon, so I want that super fine tuning ability.

[Brandon Head]

Don't feel bad man, its taken me 6 years to get my lude to where I want it & finally boosting it in 2012 & take your time & have fun with your set up.

[Western.]

Thanks guys. I've got much in the way of plans for the lude…It'll just take a lot more time.

[Western.]

BUMP!!! Any other honest opinions of it or what I should do? I've got solid plans... But I'm always open to new ideas!

[uho]

nice lude bro

[Western.]

Thanks Drummerboy and uho. I'm looking at F&F's, and I'm also trying to find a place to get OEM side skirts(and possibly the whole kit if I can find a deal). I think I wanna go all out in terms of ride quality, improved handling, and a better stance. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty positive that's what I'm going to be doing come summer

[Western.]

Lip Kit and fogs on the way!

[Western.]

Got some new stuff!

The wires were confusing, but with the help of a friend, the inside was wired. Here's a couple of shots during the process:




And fully functional:














The switch is brighter than those around it:

[Echonova]

Nioce.

[Western.]

Thanks! OEM Optional lip kit will be in the near future

[green91]

Ive always liked the 4g Prelude, especially white. I nearly bought one about a year ago infact. Definitely give the car a drop and maybe change the wheels.. but seems like youre on a good path.

Drop is coming this summer, Im keeping the wheels. Thanks for the comment!

[uho]

keep it up dude! def stoked to see lip kit and suspension/drop

[Western.]

I appreciate it man…I can't wait to for either of those either. What do YOU think of the wheels?

[Drummerboy]

I personally didn't like the wheels when I saw them in your pictures, but they look alot better in person. What suspension are you going with?

[Western.]

I'll probably be going with Function and Form Type 1's. Just a question…How do y'all think those wheels would look on a black prelude? I've just been milling around looking for 5spds(which, btw, there are 5x the number of auto preludes for sale than there are 5 speeds). I could, technically, put everything stock back on, except for the exhaust, and then just transfer it all on to a new one. BUT it's highly unlikely that it will actually happen…I just really want a 5spd.

[uho]

Do it! as for wheels at first i didn't like them but now i actually like them a lil but you should look into konig britelite's they look amazing on 4th n 5th gens unless you're lookin to go wider than 7in

[uho]

[Western.]

The black 5g had already been sold, sadly. If anyone knows of any unlisted 5spd ludes for sale, let me know. Otherwise I'll be sticking with this one, and the plans will go on.

[allmotor-teg]

nice shots on the last 2 pics.

[Durtie]

Nice lude. I've always loved the third generations, but this one is clean. Get that thing dropped and you'll be looking right. I've always dropped my cars first. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how much shit you do to your car, if it isn't lowered, its ugly, lol. I'm not calling your shit ugly but you know what I mean.

[CptWitwiki]

i like it, as for the lights are the retro'd or are they aftermarket ebay type lights? either way they dont look bad. and this is a pretty clean lude why not save up and swap it to five speed?

[Western.]

Thanks guys. The lights are ebay, and I was just kind of browsing around to see if I could find anything. Saving up for the swap is exactly what I'll be doing

[hondakid303]

love the rolling shots were did you take them at ?

[jonbuice5591]

nice car man. once it finished itll be one badass prelude..

[Western.]

Thanks, and the shots were taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway. And thanks Jon!
