I'm finally done with my Prelude!

I've had this car for about 3.5 years now, and I finally finished putting in my last mod last month. The process I used on the car was:

  • QEW
  • Clay
  • Menzerna IP x 1 with PC on 6 and yellow pad
  • Menzerna FP x 1 with PC on 6 and white pad
  • Collinite #885 x 1
  • S100 x 2
  • Klasse AIO and SG on windows and rims
  • Meguiar's Endurance Gel on tires

I don't have any interior shots since it isn't anything special, nor do I have before pictures either. I managed to get rid of about 90% of my swirls, so I didn't bother taking up close pictures since it's going to get marred up anyway. It's my daily driver, and being a black car owner means sanity comes from living with the 5 foot rule :p.



Anyway, here's a picture of my car a week after I bought it in 2002:

3.5 years later, this is what it looks like:

Nice car! Looks great. I am going to have to admit that I'm not personally a big fan of the gold wheels, but it is a very clean car, and I really think your modifications are tasteful. Most Honda drivers just slap on a loud muffler, a miss-matched body kit and call it a day, letting it rust to peices. Your car is awesome. Great work! :)
 
Wow, i'm really not a fan of Preludes and the older styling, but yours is absolutely gorgeous. :2thumbs:



Awesome job on modding it up tastefully, as well as detailing it up to perfection. :)

Nice results! Are you in the L.A. area?

Actually I'm both in the LA and OC area...how did you know?

What were your camera setting in the 2nd to last pic in your first post?
The camera is a Canon A80, and I used the manual feature set to F2.8, ISO 50, shutter at 1/15 (I think). I used Photoshop to touch the pictures up however to give it more clarity.



The gold rim scheme was actually something I disliked a couple years ago, but eventually they just grew on me more and more. I saw several black cars that had gold rims, and I guess I fell in love with it. I figured many of us Autopians aren't into the import scene, but thank you for your kind words :).
