These are the first shots I have taken since I got it back. I still have a few things to put back on like the front bumper lip and the sunroof and I have to finish putting the interior back together. We went out looking for wheels the other night. Saturday we are going to try a set of 19s on it to see how we like it. I seriously think we will end up with some 17s though.
Well, here ya go.
:super:

wow that looks nice,it looks so straight!Is that house of kolor paint?they have some awsome colors,did you do it yourself?
I am stoked about finally having the Prelude back together, it has been primer almost a year now and we only drove it for special events like the occcasional show and to a few car club meetings.
The Prelude is not really a big wheel type car. I think it looks better long and low but for some reasons now the 16s don't look right like they did with the primer. I think the paint is out-blinging the wheels. There is a possibility we may get the one-piece JDM headlights with the black housing and some gunmetal wheels with a big fat polished lip, but I'm not sure about that.
The neighborhood is pretty decent considering it is my first big purchase. They are all 3 bedroom 2 bath condos with a pretty decent amount of space plus garages. I couldn't have afforded a similar sized house in good condition.
We started out with House of Kolor Sunset pearl for the paint but it wouldn't lay out evenly. The paint manager stayed up till 4 a.m. one night custom mixing a new color for us that would be as similar as possible. The best part about this color is that is a simple basecoat/clearcoat paintjob so it is always fixable and very easy to match.
man that looks soo nice
looks real good . I say go with the jdm headlights and the gunmetal wheels i think it will go good with that color paint.

I was gonna mention something about the wheels before!! I rather keep suggestion to my self! You planning on running some chromes? Just curious! I know most compact don't look good with chrome, but in ur situation I think the perfect chromies would look good ! It's a show car! What car is that next 2 it? BTW Did u take pics of ur install of the autoloc system just curious to see how they look installed!

i'm still like the accord with the headlight showing, ,now thats the pimp ride, but on the other hand it turned out nice, good job and hope ya win lots of shows wich shouldn't be a problem...opie
i'm gonna have a fast car one day, yep i am
i wrecked my 86 lx and i'm glad, i only paid 900 for it and got 1800 out of it, hahaha, thank god for old people
update: car blew 3/24/03 hope to have new engine in by around april 1
i really like it but i think the rims gotta go man, good work
I will have its babies...........absolutely beautiful paint.......oh shit
It looks sweet Chris.
I think some black 17x7 on front and 17x8 on the rear would make it look so nice pearl,but big fattys in the back may rub.
JUST PLAIN AWESOME!! :OMG:
the car looks flawless, as for rims i agree the rims are now belittled by the paint quality. If it was my car i would invest in some tiens and some black volk CE28's or some spoon ssw38, thats me tho. In your case with the bags and all i would reccomend some sort of chrome, 17s will probably work. Good luck.

Thanks everybody. After getting the car all the way back together and taking it out for a drive on a beautiful day on Saturday, I am so happy with the way the paint turned out. The pearl is so awesome looking in the sunlight. We still haven't tried any wheels on it but we will soon and I will get some pictures. There are a ton of other things I would rather do before wheels, like getting the interior done and painting the wagon, but at least if I get new wheels for the Prelude, I will be able to put these wheels on the Accord. I don't have much choice in the actual wheels, after all this is my girlfriend's car, but we tend to like the same type and size of wheels anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Besides interior, the next major thing she wants to do is to get it lower. There is a lot of cutting we can do to drop it about another inch but she wants to go to the ground. So maybe we will stick with the 16s after all.
I just changed out two of the pictures for some better ones.
We need some kinna *BLING BLING* smilie. Would go riiiiight

Good bye to the 1989 DX Type R. Hello 2001 LX.

Damn...really nice paint job. The new pics better accentuate that paint job
that last picture looks like your in oak harbor.
Yep, that is Oak Harbor in the last pic. We were at the Midget Market showing my girlfriend's mom the car (that is her Suburban behind it).
I hope they don't bring the bling bling emoticon here. I am into having nice paint jobs, not a bunch of shiny stuff.
