Who did your interior and at what cost? Is it leather or vinyl? It looks great!

Man, you are seriously tempting me to build another 3rd gen. The only reason I haven't already started is because I want to be able to eventually lay pinch moldings and that is almost impossible in these cars. The body kit takes up that extra space really well though.
It looks good.. What have you done to the front to get it so low on 18s? Tubbed?

I love TK's car. Looks good as always, but you need 1 thing. A front armrest.

Pearldrop - what are pinch moldings?

Pinch moldings= rocker panels on a Honda... It's where the jack points are on the sides.

The interior is real leather and cost about 1200(that included carpet).
Pearl- I used the Brisland cyliders to get lower in front. I want to cut the strut towers but was told I cant b/c there is a brace that runs through on the passenger side. If I did it I would have to tube the front end and dont want to do that seeing as it is still a daily driver. Eventually I want to get it body dropped but that will be farther down the road. There is this place doing a civic right now running 2600 lb bags all the way around with a cantelevier(sp) set up in the back. If it lays like it suposed to I will have them do my work. It supposed to tuck half an 18 in the rear so we will see.

So the cylinders that you had originally didn't set the car down all the way? You weren't resting on the tire when it was dropped? I know that when I had 18s on my accord, when I first put them on I had to raise the car because the tire was sitting on the metal in the wheelwell. The only option I had to go lower was to cut the fenderwell and reweld it higher up.

My cylinders on the Prelude bottom out at exactly the same time as the control arms hit the top of the strut tower so to go any lower at all it involves cutting. I can still cut out the notch above the control arm so now I am wondering if I got Mac Air cylinders if it will drop it more.

He has air ride. Speed bumps are never a problem. Besides that the engine is completely protected by the lower crossmember so if you bottom out in our cars it doesn't hurt anything.
I'm sure he can afford a newer car by now and instead of just buying a new car and having payments, he spends that money on his accord. That is what I did. Then I did buy a new car and now I hate the payments.
