a guy that works for a shop in southern california imported it for personal use but sold it to a guy in utah. the guy in utah legalized it and owned for a little less than a year after getting it legalized. he posted pics on honda-tech.com....
right when i saw it i knew i had to have it so i emailed him an offer, flew to utah about 2 months later and drove her back
plans are naturally aspirated fully built h22 (will come with time and lots of money)
a full mugen kit, a few carbon fiber accessories, one of 3 sets of 16x7 rims that i havent decided on, tanabe sustec coilovers and new paint (undecided color).
thanks all for the compliments

I think the car looks good the way it is now. You should skip the body kit and put that money into nitrous.

+1....a body kit or anything like that would take to much away from it. leave it stock

personally i dont think the Mugen kit would take anything away from it. i will keep the stock panels anyways. im stuck on the mugen kit though. i owned it for my first prelude when i was 16 and i need another one. i love it. its the cleanest and rarest kit for the lude in my opinion. i am probably going to buy a new h22 and build it on the side and when its done just swap out the motors.
i am thinking more of a silver color possibly... i like white but frost white just doesnt do it for me.
all of my plans will happen over time... buying nitrous now instead of paint would just mean i am buying paint later... lol. paint is not something im doing anytime soon anyways. suspension and rims are first.

here is a pic of the mugen kit on a lude to give you an idea

thanks for the comments

Those ludes with the mugen kit are fucking HOT! They don't look as chunky with the kit...

Oh, I take it back. That kit integrates surprisingly well with the lines of the car.
