Hi guys and gals!
Im Honda fan from Latvia and been driving my Prelude as my first car and daily transportation for over 6 years now.
slowly but patiently been adding few bits here and there to fit my taste and view how lude should look like. everything except for welding body shell and painting the car was and currently is done by myself with assistance of my brother and wife, so this is kind of DIY project :)
as you all might imagine most of JDM bits require modifications, as we have steering wheel on the left side of the car.
so here is just a brief recap of my Lude's history:

bought in 2009. EDM green pearl with f20a4 engine with basically no extras ( sunroof, electric windows is not considered as such :D )

after installing 17" Team Dynamics alloys:

Image

installed 3rd stop light:
Image

fancy light bulbs:
Image

and wind deflectors:
Image

later, installed lowering springs:

gifted myself USDM accord rear lip, rear mudflaps and foglights on birthday:
Image
Image
Image

had issues with blinking clock and working in it's own mind, so managed to get jdm cluster for a cheapo, so only thing that had to be done - redo the wiring to fit in EDM:
Image

installed 96 USDM Accord Mugen front lip and so it looked like in spring 2012:
Image
Image
Image
Image

just a random pic in late summer 2012
Image

rust was in rear arches and other places as well, so decided to go with a new paintjob:
Image
Image
Image

some drag-racing babes loved my car as well :lol:
Image

a while later re-did ceilings and interrior upholstery alcantara-style
Image

moarlow, but still daily driven. spring 2014
Image

autumn 2014. finally got some jdm goodies:
Image

and within weekend went from no-vtec to bwaaah :D
Image
Image
Image

just before swapping even managed to participate in "wear a seatbelt" campaign video:

Spring 2015. My honda served for very important purpose as well:
Image

Moarlow and Honda event in Poland:
Image

Installed Koni with GroundControl:
Image

Crashed a few days later:
Image

And since car has to be fixed, got present from my wife - JDM one piece headlights:
Image

current status - first time in all those years I'm not driving it in winter, as we have sort-of nordic weather and lots of salty roads, decided to save my lude from rotting. till spring:

Absolutely stunning mate 8-)

Love that colour and everything about it. I was heart broken for a split second there, but glad to see you've already rectified the wrong lol.

This is a lovely looking Lude.
Really nice progression. What engine did you have before the swap? I keep toying with the idea...

Love the look of the fogs on your car as well. Look great in that rolling shot 8-)

thanks guys for the warm welcome!
this has been a small project of mine and there are still things I'd like to do.
this will never be a trackday car since prelude is too heavy if compared to let's say EG, EK or DC2 for track abuse. so no massive HP improvements are planned, but maybe small bits here and there..

as for engine - I mentioned it on top - 2.0l EDM f20a4 engine with "monstrous" 133HP :D
wheels - ET37 7J 17" without any adapters or anything to correct the ET or bring wheels more out of the arches

@Drax - actually it's a CM1 accord as winter beater and more practical wehicle of transportation :mrgreen:
