Hey all,

I've had my 1998 Prelude Base for about a year and a half now and I love it. I'm not sure why I didn't join here sooner, but I thought it was time I did. I am a pretty regular member at PreludePower.com. Anyway, below is a small list of mods, a brief history, and of course, some picture. :wave:


Current Mods

Intake resonator removed
Cleared turned signals and tail lights
LED dash conversion (hopefully being reworked this summer)
Black calipers (also to be reworked)
Clear sidemarkers


Future Mods

Painted valve cover
Mild wire tuck
Battery relocation
HID Retrofits


History
December 2008 - Purchased the car with 30,500 miles on it
February 2009 - Rear bumper damaged
August 2009 - Driver side fender backed into and repaired (lady left a note)
March 2010 - Rear bumper hit again and repaired (cops stopped the guy)
Summer 2010 - Planning to complete mods listed above!

And now....the pics!

Soon after buying the car:

That's pretty cool! Welcome! Sorry to see that you've had some bad luck with your Prelude... :( Did you get it all fixed up? Hopefully you can make it out to our next meet!

Yeah, Preludes are bad luck LOL. Oh well, still worth it.

It is all fixed up now. Hopefully I can get a full detail done next week after school is out.

When is the next meet, Keith?
