Banter goes here, and doesn't have to be Lude related

I thought they were quite rare, based on my limited knowledge. Also, thought they were a Type-S only factory option. I've seen very few other Ludes, even fewer with bonnet spoilers, and none that wasn't a Type-S. Learn something new every day :)

Have people not been interested in the aftermarket ones? I said I had no idea about how much interest there would be, if any.

I think I've seen them on eBay. Can't say for sure though. There are a couple on eBay atm (genuine)

I checked Fleabay before posting and found nothing, am I typing in the wrong thing? haha.

I was under the impression they were a very sought after part. Wrong again haha.

Overpriced but there nonetheless.

This guy has some uncommon Prelude parts ;) my Azect spats were on there for 2+ years unsold at a high-ish price. Made him a lowball offer and he accepted so he's quite flexible. Got a few things from him before and he's very accommodating actually, shipping is superfast. I think his things aren't 'listed' publicly or however you call it

Thanks for the link buddy. I notice by his listing title it's not just me that thinks they're rare haha.

Two more. Tagging rare onto stuff makes the high prices seem reasonable ;) marketing. Seen stock items tagged as rare.

e.g. motegi skirts

I typed in bonnet spoiler, I forgot the Yanks call it a hood haha. Seems they are simple to find when you know the buzz words.

I'm guessing as they are available, it's down to personal taste as to if you rock one or not.

Were they limited to JDM cars? Any more info would be great :)

Ignore the rear bumper and LHD drive though :lol: I imagine these are EDM stock images ;) but note the British spelling and Motegi options so it's not USDM.
