Cool build! Didn't realise there was a prelude kit of this generation. Who makes it btw?
As for the tail lights - clear red and orange. What sort of probs are you having the windsheild attachment?

OK.
You need to by using a white glue called Kristal Klear, it dries clear and wont smudge the clear lights and windows. The backings of the lights....paint the body with a silver or better still, get some baremetal foil for a better look. Glue the lights on and it will look 100% better

G'day Aussie
Kool Lude mate, wicked stance
Like Pman says,get some krystol klear for lights, if not, some good ol' white craft glue does the trick. Dries clear, thats what I use, or a dab of clear paint from a bottle... Also, good to see another Aussie,welcome to the funhouse  cheers stump:smoker2:

I think it looks great. Nice ride height and rims.
What I do about the winshield is making tape it in (i know its cheating, but it works). That way you won't get any glue on the windshield. For the tailights, I use a red Vista-Viz permanent marker, and for the orange i use an orange one. They go onto clear translucent, so you can't tell that its marker. Hope that helps.
