Stock Prelude Advice

thats actually the correct way.
thats how they all came from the factory.

if you look on the inside of the rim they have a R or L printed on them showing which side they go on.

we just all put them on the wrong side cause it looks better.

Its amazing how different it looks just by doing that. But yeah it does look better. Weird but true.

Oh shit, well my point still stands, it looks like its about to go backwards.
I would have thought that it would be orientated as to look as though its going to cut through the air just like an actual sawblade.

they say there is a practical purpose to it being this way.
some crap about airflow and cooling the brakes.

who knows...still looks better the wrong way.

Good thing i dont take it onto the track hey.

I dont get enough heat into the brakes on the street!

Well it does look like they might help channel air, but somehow I doubt it would effect brake fade on a track. Then again Honda put water cooled brakes on my car (ATTS so no blade rims).

wow i didnt notice dat..
i agree with them goin da wrong way as lookin better...
what i just noticed is when i got my rear tyres replaced

So it looks like the car is trying to pull itself in half?

yeh i guess u can say that .. i realy havent realy had a good look at the directions the blades go..

About an hour ago i went outside and took my front right and rear left blades off and swapped them because they were going the right(Looked shit) way.

[Mr.lude]

i would suggest you lower your car before you get rims, rims on non-dropped cars, don't look hot.

springs -> wheels

what about the mugen front bar? thats noice. i rekon don't do anything to the tails or the headlights. and yeah and whateveryone else has said

Funny thing with lowering the car is even though my car is stock it still manages to get some scrapage happening over some dips.
I dont knw if n e one else has been having that problem but iv had it a few time.
Even on speed humps that are not that big. i have no idea what it is..soft suspenssion mabe i dunno..
It isnt the front bar hitting the ground ( well ders only one scratch right under which shows its hit once ) but most of the hitting is happening on the large black plastic engine shield under the car and the tow clips which are noticable lower than the front bumper.
iv notice the tow clips have become sharp over the 3 to 4 times its happened.
i hate when it happens and have been very carefull around dips now a days.
but what i do understand is when u get rims which are larger than factory size it does life the car a bit higher den usual.
im also worried that if i do get a lip that this problem will happen alot more if not careful.

yeh about the mugen front bar i was thinkin about it, but iv grown to love the stock factory look and would rather put on a lip than change the whole thing. if n e thing id love to put on a mugen wing one day. iv just seen many diffrent styles of lip kit on preludes and is intrested on what the diffrent types are.

[peejayy]

dont do mugen, it looks muugay.

haha nah not really. Its different, but to me its backwards on the styling of the ludes cut lines and angular shape. it looks too round. like its got a swallen face or something...

mugen rear wing on the other hand... HOT.
