    Doppelganger, I'm surprised you advised me to take the projectors. They're eBay crap, so I'm not going to swap them over. Wheels are getting swapped over, and will look 10x better on the new car than it does on my current car. I think the honeycomb grill is also getting swapped over.

    Wheels are ugly as shit on one white prelude, they will be ugly as shit on another white prelude. Those wheels are whack as hell man, let them go!

    Sinfix, you know exactly how I feel about my wheels. I really, really like them. I don't know why, but they're just my style. I know, "my style" just doesn't look good to you, but anyway. I do like the stock wheels though. They're some of my favorite honda stock wheels. I'm curious to know though....What exactly is it about my black wheels that you don't like?

    I don't see how swapping wheels from one car to another when they look pretty much the same will make the wheels look better

    Are you talking about the upper or lower grill?
    What's crappy about them? First and foremost, the driver's side bucket has a bit of a crack in it and hasn't had it's seal since the day I got them. I tried to get the guy to either refund us or replace them, but he wanted me to buy another set, send him the lights, and he would determine if I got my money back(that is, if he deemed the problem to be a defect)...and I definitely wasn't about to do that. Second, the cut-off is rather crappy looking(uneven to be specific), and the placement of the projector in the bucket looks rather weird because it's near the bottom. Christina actually has 8K HID's already, so I plan on saving up for a retrofit of the stock buckets(or Depo black-housing's)to make the most effective use of the HID's. To the question about swapping wheels over, I have one simple answer: Christina(the "new" one) is lowered, Crystal(old-er) is not. I have always thought that my wheels would look better once I lowered my car, so I will confirm or deny that once I swap everything over. The honeycomb grill I'm speaking of is the upper one that's standard on the 99-01's, while the painted one that's on there is standard(but in black) on 97-98's.
