Me being completely honest, the new one looks perfect how it sits. As far as your original prelude, I think it's one ugly ass car I wouldn't drive. I know everyone has their own styles, however, if something is ugly that's all it will be. I just can't figure out how someone that struggles so bad financially buys a whole new car just to save money from doing a cheap ass transmission swap. I don't mean to come off as an ass to you or anything I just think that you should reconsider some things and take peoples' advice. No one is trying to purposely steer you in the wrong direction.
