Very nice. Are you using just the standard Vortec kit or have you added anything to that as well? i.e. stand alone ECU etc...

Question and in no way am I knocking you but...

why would you choose a stock Honda color if you were totally repainting the car? I would just think that gives you an opportunity to give the car a color thats a little different, something that stood out a little more.

I always wanted to get my Prelude resprayed white but I wanted one of two extremes, either Championship White or Cadillac Metallic White.

standard vortech kit. it has the vafc2 which you can kind of see in the interior picture above.


why berlina? When I was in the market for an s2000 I searched for 5 months for a berlina with all red interior. No luck. So, I settled for sebring/red and I'm not the type of person that likes to settle for anything less than perfection.

I also really like the engine bay being sebring with a black exterior. It looks like there is a light in the engine bay when you open the hood and most people don't understand why the engine stands out so much. I get a lot of compliments on this. So, in the end i got the best of both worlds IMO.

I try not to keep track. Because if I did, the madness would end real quick!

Very nice upgrades!
Tastefully done.
I love the wheels w/ perfect drop.
After I saw the wheels w/ stock ride height, I was like, 'ooh, those definitely need some coilovers.'

Devious,

Nicely done. One interesting thing I saw (that I hadn't seen before), was the stubby antenna. Where'd you find that one? I like the look.
