- JDM Type-S carbon fiber guage overlay
- JDM Foglights (with a spare pair of H3C replacement bulbs from Honda)

Aftermarket parts:
- Mugen twin-loop catback exhaust
- Spoon front and rear tower strut bars
- Tanabe Sustec-Pro coilover suspension

Wheels:
- Honda Prelude base wheels (blades) with well worn tires for winter storage
- OZ Superleggera titanium grey 17x7 wheels with Falken GRB FK-451 tires

Others:
- Honda Prelude shop manual
- Denso iridium spark plugs
- Alpine Alarm
- Tint

Others (brand new and never installed):
- Apexi VAFC I
- Marcucci Motorsports Apexi VAFC I OBDII H22A harness
- Interior trim around the clock with the center vents - brand new from Honda, was going to use it for mounting the VAFC
- Tanabe Sustec rear underbrace
- 5 Honda S2000 oil filters

Accidents / incidents:
- 1998 - During the first oil change, delivery vehicle with a tow ball backed into the back of my car at T&T Honda. T&T replaced the rear bumper. - Repaired.
- 2000 - Because of my own fault, backed out of a driveway which had a snow covered fire hydrant on the side. Slight damage to rear driver side quarter panel and rear bumper. - Repaired
- 2001 - Hit-and-run incident, but the offender was caught. Front of car backed into in a parking lot. Damaged front bumper. - Repaired.
- 2002 - Car broken into by smashing the passenger window. On their first attempt to swing at the window, they missed and slightly dented the window frame instead. - Repaired.
- 2002 - Parked on a neighborhood street and a little kid biked into the front of the car (on the driver side) while turning around to stare at a Porsche on a neighbor's driveway. Kid was never caught, Porsche owner find that it was funny. I didn't think so. Damaged front driver side fender. - Repaired.
- 2003 - Because of my own fault again, while merging into seemingly empty road, the car in front decided to come to a stop. I stopped just in time to only cause a spider web clearcoat crack on the passenger side front bumper corner. - Not Repaired.
- 2004 - Someone attempted to steal the Mugen twin loop catback exhaust by cutting it. He/she gave up probably after figuring out that the stainless steel is very thick. But still managed to make a slit on the section just before the axle back portion of it. I have only covered up the slit with aluminum tape. - Not repaired.

I have all service records and all receipts for the parts purchased new. I also have all the original parts such as the suspension, exhaust, interior trim pieces, rubber covers for where the foglight goes, even the Honda NGK spark plugs I've swapped out. But one exception, I no longer have the original base black rubber side skirts and rear valence. My Jack Russell Terrier chewed up the ends so I threw them out.

Out-of-province inspection was completed November 2006 which required brakes to be serviced (new pads all around and new rear rotors).

Asking 15500 for everything listed and some not listed.

I am willing to remove the following items from the sale for 14000.
- OEM trunk matt
- OEM floor matts
- JDM Type-S intake
- JDM Type-S carbon fiber gauge overlay
- JDM Foglights and wiring harness
- Spoon front and rear tower strut bars
- OZ Superleggera titanium grey 17x7 wheels with Falken tires
- Honda Prelude shop manual
- Apexi VAFC I + Marcucci harness
- Interior trim around the clock with center vents
- Tanabe Sustec-Pro rear lower strut brace
- 5 Honda S2000 oil filters

If one really wants the Mugen twin-loop exhaust removed as well, I will have to look into the labor cost of swapping out the exhaust and getting new exhaust gaskets. But I would say around 13500.

I will have current pictures of the engine bay, interior, trunk once the weather gets better and I put insurance back on the car. I can however post a few older pictures sooner.

PM me for more details if interested.

The rear Spoon tower strut bar is still in the original wraps. And the OEM trunk matt actually looks more black than as shown in the pictures.

if you want to part out..
how much for the spoon front and rear strut bars?

ZeroGravity

Thanks for all the interests in the parts.

Once a buyer has indicated that he / she does not want the extra parts, I will be contacting the people who pm'ed me about various parts in the order I have received their pm. I hope everyone will understand. I'd rather not part out unless I can find a buyer for the car.

For the meantime, more pics of some parts.

Taken on the evening of April 25th.

OZ Superleggera wheels (no scratch / curb rash... waxed every year, except this year, before installing) with Falken 451 tires. The size of the tire is 215/45/17. This is actually one ratio bigger than the more appropriate size of 215/40/17 for the Prelude. When I ordered them, I just wanted the extra thickness thinking that I might get some extra protection from pot holes.

According to the ruler, it has about 9/32 of tread left.

Currently not parting out anything until a buyer for the car is found. Thanks for the inquiry. I am going to make a list of people who have expressed interests (via pm, or posted here) of various parts if the car buyer will not be taking all the parts.

Having said that, there seems to be lots of choices if someone is looking for a 5th gen Prelude. Good luck to all who are looking to sell.

Again, asking 14500 (includes, full factory body/aero kit, Tanabe Sustec Pro adjustable coilover suspension, and Mugen twin-loop cat back exhaust). I still have the factory suspension (still assembled), and exhaust. Other parts negotiable!
