Looks awesome. Lovely little toy to be able to keep tucked up and used when wanted - will surely be a proper collectors car in the future.


And Nalla - Ratty knows how to not have taste in Preludes (otherwise he would have a 4th gen) :P

In my original post I mentioned that the inner arches of my car had been inspected and treated to cavity wax by TGM. I have finally got round to uploading a few of the pictures they kindly took for me. They said they are so used to pulling out the interiors of Preludes and Integras and finding horrors that they couldn't quite believe it when they saw how good mine were, best they have seen apparently, so I am very pleased about that. The pics below include some pre and post wax shots.

I am hoping that this work, along with the underseal done by Torque GT and the fact I won't be using the car much in wet or salty conditions should keep the dreaded rust away from my lude!

Some pics before wax was applied, you can see how spotless the inner arches are:

Great to see that they did genuinely pull the trim front and rear of both arches and as you say, they are in perfect condition - this is what the OEM arches on my JDM BB4 were like when I did likewise a couple of years ago :D

Do you know what cavity wax product they used?
I tend to drench the seam itself much than that, by using something much more runny (Dinitrol 3125) and worry less about the inside of the panels themselves, but it looks like they've got a decent enough amount right down into the seam too, so all's well :D
