I'd say the person who took the pictures has a bigger problem than the guy who owns the car... Was a kitten killed during the taking of pictures? 😉

Hehe, i was going to point out the photos too, but wasn't in a asshole mood. 😉
 
well atleast it looks clean. The S15 headlights don't flow well with the rest of hte car though. He should have used the S14 lights instead (and you could have taken his S15 lights...even trade!).

I like how he invested all that money in bodywork yet he still has stock wheels. He needs some spacers or wider wheels to fill those fenders.

My lights are the older curved ones though, not the trapezoidal.
 
It's not *that* bad IMO. The swapped pieces actually work with the body lines...altho the M-fender is way too played out...
 
its not that bad... at least its a good color and its the same color... and theres not a giant wing on it.

car ain't all that bad. i wouldn't call it rice. in fact, it's pretty clean and although i wouldn't do anything like that, it was done very well. leave the guy alone.

Well, if it isn't rice mebbe it might just be plain stupid (from a performance perspective). The money he spent on purchasing and custom-fitting the S15 headlights, Supra tails, and M fenders... yeesh. That's more than enough for a turbo or supercharger, a front mount, fuel control, full exhaust, etcetc.

Played out? Yeah... so it prolly can't even cut it as a show car either. They would notice that the sideskirts and front spoiler lips didn't quite colormatch and the already mentioned stock wheels... ick.
 
and the already mentioned stock wheels... ick

Stock from a 5th gen Lude... I like the idea of using tasteful cues from other cars, so the rims are cool with me 😎

like mine!

 
not all of the body work is color matched correctly. before he wants to show this off, he needs to lose the alpine sticker, slap some pirelli p zeroes on a nice set of rims, get a good paint job, and maybe lower the car an inch or so. also the rear end ground effects are a little fugly, something a little more interesting and he'd have a decent show car if it was in something other than that friggin eggshell honda color. maybe a nice dark metallic black. very nice lamp swaps, really like the grill work.
 
in the first shot it looks okay.. but after that, kinda not sure
i don't mind the front end.
it's a kind-of subtle conversion rice car... not too much done up other than the front/rear/fenders.. meh
 
omg its for sale! jello you could buy it and ride around in WC and all the sorority girls would go "who is that man in that beast of a machine?!"

😀

Oh they already do.. they already do. What else can they do when they hear the roar of 155 horses?
 
I dont think it looks all that bad neither... at least no stickers and chrome 😉

The headlights match the prelude's lines pretty well...
