Wow. So clean.

Leather door inserts....drool.

Where did you get that EQ? The 2nd gens used to come with EQs, but I've never seen one on a 3rd gen.

Also, what are the switches next to your E-brake?

The EQ was already in the car when I bought it and its a Alpine one. The switches are the cruise control switches... Because of the steering wheel the guy decided to change places instead of not install them. And what you think about my new wheels?!?

Looks GREAT! Nothing I wouldn't have done if it were mine. Wheels are perfect, red stripe gone does wonders! Only thing - make sure you remove that roof deflector every time you wax the car or at least once a month and clean under the rubber seat/seal, and then wax it. Otherwise it will leave a permanent mark on the paint that it sits on. Found that out the hard way with the one on my Accord coupe.

I'm jealous man, it looks good! Don't change a thing!

Lowering gives it a great look, but just make sure you correct the suspension aspects afterward - as it will throw off the great handling of the car, the way it was engineered, if you just lower it and don't adjust otherwise. Do the right thing and get GOOD SPRINGS. Don't cut corners here when you lower. Crap springs and you'll regret it. Spend the money and do it right. So if it means waiting a while to save the cash for the best springs, that's what you should do.

An inch, not a bad idea. More than that and you need to consider whether you want a ride that is going to beat you to death every time you drive over a wad of gum or a pebble in the road.

Then there's adjusting the alignment, possible better or reinforced suspension parts, etc. to keep things from wearing and destroying your tires or even having them snap in half from added stresses that weren't "engineered" into the suspension.

There are lots of things to option when lowering a stock sports car. Just keep all that in mind.

Agree with Spiffy, those rims are THE perfect rims for that car.

Thanks! She needs a little bodywork and some paint, but she looks good from a distance :)

Spiffy has a penchant for the white ones .... lol I knew he was going to say that.

Little dent here and a scratch there, gives character.

Looks good either way, it's a Prelude! ;)
