I think they look very good but I think they would better with the screw hole covered and the arches painted to mach the car.

This, unless it's balls out lairy AF 6000bhp/Merlin spec.
Smooth finish all the way for your average Prelude, I don't think the Prelude (in general) could carry such a mean kit unless it had the background to go with it.

Not saying this looks jobby btw, I still like it.

What size are your? The same on the front and on the back? Could you drop a link here please?

Car look nice. Only thing is- you spent a lot of cash and effort, so why at the end you fitted fake rims...

I'll check the size when I'm back in UK, on a short holiday at the moment in Bangkok and Taiwan =) yea, not new to spending quite a bit of money on modding cars but couldn't justify too much on a prelude with real wheels being more expensive than the car =(

Here's the arches guys!

Have you siliconed around the arches afterwards? They look to be sat or finished off with a bead of some sort.

Some people use silicone, I used a less permanent rubber strip, I think it's called welting, people use this for boats and retro cars on arches, u just lay it between the body and the arch, and on the edge, it's kinda rounded, if you google welting it would make more sense.

This is done on a 240z but easier to understand how it's done
