Well, after my fire hydrant debacle, I needed a bumper. There was a perfect condt. white matching bumper for my car at the junkyard, i went to pay for it on a muddy day and told them i would come back for it and they said they'd hold on to it till i could get to it (too muddy) i go back and its gone the fuckers stole it. i was like ok give me my money back. guy was like no just go find you another bumper. i was like look dude i wasnt gonna spend the amount i did on a bumper that is all fucked up or not the matching color. I paid 50 for that first one because it was perfect and matched. i was so pissed but i ran around the junkyard till i found this

it was white and appeared to be very close to my bumper. i grabbed it up and took it home. i went and held it up to my mounts to see that it mounts quite differently, and there is an edge that needs to be cut off where my black/orange corners are, as you can see there were no fender corners on that model prelude. I'm guessing i will need to pull my old bumper apart and my new bumper apart and use the old metal bumper part and the prelude bumper cover. does anyone know of anybody trying this mod?
Oh and also, I grabbed the 4 wheel steering prelude steering wheel, my cruise buttons on my wheel would work only randomly, and when i palmed the wheel around in a circle i was prone to hitting the horn. here is a pic of the prelude wheel.

the plug for cruise was the same, i just had to slide the circle thing to the B position (take your steering wheel off if you dont know what im talking about)
I had to shave a bunch of the back of the steering wheel to clear the steering column cover, but the mod was definately working, when i get my camera back I'll take pictures of it in the accord.
What yall think?
