Default 01 prelude make over

Hi i just wanted to share that i have a 01 lude sh and she got rear ended was totaled. well i cant let her go so i took the check from the insurance and bought her back for $700. So it was nice.. but just wanted to share some of the reviving process of her. she is almost done it took a good 7 months since i barely have time. full time jobs suck keeps you away from doing other thing lol.

It seems you didn't learn the lesson provided by fate. Preludes don't like nasty body kits or altezza lights.

Curious to see that kit with paint. I think the stock kit is my fav, but I've seen a few others that were nice. Going back to stock over the winter myself. Shity you got banged up, but now you get a new kit and fresh paint...Blessing in disguise?

Body work looks seamless, nice job.

I couldn't imagine having my front bumper molded to the fenders though.. maybe it's because I have mine off once or twice a month unlike most people. But still..

gj on the fix. and don't let people tell you your car is ugly cus it has a body kit. if you like it, then that's all that matters.


some people even complimented on how nice my car was but that it would be "SO MUCH NICER" if it had no body kit >_>

how much of your own money did you have to put into fixing it, or did the insurance check cover it all?
