I really like the color of that paint. yeah, he had the whole car painted, same color as before. Someone keyed it so he needed a new paint job. :( But yeah, it's all one color now. :)

if you want to have a car and make it your own and modify it (to your likeing) a Honda is a great platform to modify....Also it's fun to have a car that surprises cars w/ larger engines. Why don't you guys go ask the guys over at Realtime racing whats the point to modifying a Honda/Acura to race....well it's a good platform to start out with. I'm not saying people shouldn't change their car to look the way they want it to and to set it apart from all the other cars, but i don't consider getting altezzas, a big wing and a body kit setting your car apart, i see less cars that are cleanly modded (drop, no big wing, not altezzas or euros, and no extreme body kit) then i do cars that are modded w/ the wings and altezzas. Then your comment about buying a BMW for engine performance, i could go spend $5k on a $7k Civic and have it kill a BMW...maybe not an M3, but not a lot of people thinking about buying a M3 are gonna think about buying a Honda....again the Honda is a great platform. So yeah if your lookin for power give me the money you've spent on that BMW and i'll build a Honda/Acura that will walk all over it everyday, and how many times have I been at the autocrosses watchin Civic HB's w/ basic engine and some suspension mods, turnin in times faster than Corvettes.

Maybe he thinks little spoilers look funny, and he would laugh at you. It's all a personal opinion on what people like, so just chill out and don't judge people for stuff they have on their car if it's something like that. If it's misbadged or something, then you can laugh and call him stupid.
I think that people that like big huge wings don't have good taste. It's fine if they tell my i have bad taste for saying i like cars w/ small wings and even no wings at all, i don't care. but if someone gets a large aluminum wing or altezzas because they're "cool" or "hot" is ghey in my opinion. and don't tell me people don't get altezzas or aluminum wings because they and their friends think they are cool. if 4 years ago before this altezza craze was in, if someone asked someone who has them if they would spend money to get them they would probably say no, some might say yes of course. but many would say no. but if you asked the same person the same question while they were "in" they would probably say yes they would get them. i cut my hair so i look like i have personal hygeine, so it doesnt get in my eyes, so i don't get it caught in doors (seen it happen) so i don't have to take forever to dry it, and so it looks like i take care of myself, so that explains my hair.

Why don't you guys go ask the guys over at Realtime racing whats the point to modifying a Honda/Acura to race....
the thing is, not everyone is modding their honda's for race. Not everyone wants a fast car. I have an aluminum wing AND altezza's. I bought each because i like the way they make my car look. I live in the city, we have speed limits and i don't feel the need for having a 200+hp civic for my daily drive to and from work. If someone wants a nice looking car, and have it slow, fine, if someone wants a fast sleeper, fine. Why can't we all jsut pick what we want, whether it be show, go, or both like i my case, and then have everyone else leave that person alone. It's not your car so don't worry about it. This is so ridiculous that i've actually considered selling my car, just so i don't have to be ashamed for driving a honda, because of the haters like a lot of the people in this forum who feel it is their right to determine what I do to MY car... that's lame. Don't say it's people putting big wings and altezza's that "wrecking" the import scene, what's wrecking it is the fact that others feel the need to determine what is ALLOWED for others to do to THEIR car. It's sick and it needs to stop.
just my two cents

Agree 100%
ABout the bmw thing i should of used a mustang v8 as the example of perfotamce and its is nearly the same price as a civic, and it will eat the civic alive. any day. and sure you can mod the civic but you can also mod the mustang.

....i have no problem with neither the wings or altezzas,depending on the car. for example,in my area there is a :apuke: ford escort wagon(WAGON!) with nice exhaust, nice white wheels(17's) and a fawkin wing on the back like like it was a fawkin civic hatch or sumthin.....dats the type of schit that make me sick, when the domestic try to move in our craft and way of living!

all this online bickering and violence..... just leads to keyed cars and spoiled dreams in real life :D you guys crazy.. haha. some like the looks and no speed.. some like they cars beat to hell but faster than v8's
its all opinions based on the person that bought the car in the first place..not the guy stairin at it while it drives by. prelussion. i too like that clean look that i kinda get from what your saying.. but i lean towards the show aspects...but that dont mean in the future i dont want that h22 swapped in.. its all in time. im sure that same guy with the silver civic and huge wing is sooner or later thinkin of a swap. thats why i like to confront owners like that and at least ask what there full plans are...cause like you..im at a loss for some parts on a car. the thing is some get a part and put it on immediately and people see that and are like... ugh..cause they didnt finish it off at once. me im tryin my hardest to do it at once..so i dont get that kinda "punishment" from other onlookers. :smoker:

And no I haven't dropped my car yet, mainly because my front bumper is only a few inches off the ground as it is and I'm not really into scraping my bumpers everywhere I go. And I don't have Z3 fenders so I don't know where that came from. As far as mods go I have an intake, header, and exhaust, just your basic bolt-on mods. I also have some AEM pulleys that I'm getting ready to put on. Here is a pic of my car with the new wing.

i like the new wing. But personally i would have gone w/ a front bumper that is not so low so you can add a drop to the car, since the heigth of no side skirts and that wheel gap look awkward. I'm not a Honda hater. and Soul, weren't you talking about trying to pull 200hp out of a b18b for your car? :rolleyes: Usually a wing gives the impression to other that you think your car is fast and in need of a large aluminum wing. I'm done w/ this thread. I like the wing on the red prelude because it looks good from all angles, especially the back, IMO aluminum wings looks terrible from the rear but OK from the front. So you all already know my thoughts i wont' post any more on this thread thats so OT now.

Hey I hear what you're saying about the side skirts not matching up with the bumpers. I am planning on buying some side skirts for my car but I still haven't quite decided which ones I want to get. As far as the wheel gap goes, I know it kind of sucks but I'd rather have a wheel gap than a busted up bumper. :huh:
