My Sir S-spec.. Some updates..

[BlackShadow]

What markings come on that model? (Stock)

I have seen the "s-spec" stickers for the rear, but what about the grille emblem? It's not exactly a type-s, and it doesn't have ATTS, so what does it say on the front grille? "Prelude"?

What colour "H" emblems does that model come with?

Markings? SIR S-Spec
The grill was optional on ALL Preludes. Its just the Type S has a choice of 3. This SIR may have the normal grill as the S-SPec was an option.

There are only 2 colours Honda did. Gold or Silver. Gold usually found on Black cars.

Ahh see, this is why I signed up here—to learn about all the different models, from people who have them/can get them. The water on my side of the pond is very muddy when it comes to specialty models.

This is what I have seen so far:

- Type-S: mesh style grille (like yours/USDM 99-01 grille) with a Type-S or ATTS badge. Grille in either black or gun metal.

- SiR S-Spec: (if pics are reliable) Black horizontal louver style (similar to USDM 97-98 grille) with no badge.

I haven't seen seen S-spec with the mesh type grille (yet) so I always wondered what (if any badge) it would have if they actually had that grille. I'm assuming despite the numerous options on JDM/EDM models, an SiR S-Spec wouldn't wear a "Type-S" grille badge up front, with an "S-Spec" sticker on the rear.

I have seen a few pictures of Type-S's and such with red H's like yours, so that's why I asked about those, thinking perhaps it was the same sort of set up as the ITR.

OP: Sorry to jack your thread with these questions! Show me your grille!

Very nice.
I do like a white 5th gen. Think I preferred the original rims though, but each to their own.

[nitin_s1]

Have to say I think the 5th gen really is ageing well.
That looks great.
