Not bothered about stance, some I like some I don't, that one I do like and think would not be as expansive to do as some that are about.

Love those preludes, the low front end, boxy boot and pop-up lights are the epitome of 80's awesome.

they've just made a great car even greater. I love the preludes anyway but nice to see them tastefully altered.

I read it, saw all the stuff about 'going lower and wider than anyone said he could', and I still think it's a bit meh.
Worth pointing out it may be a SW car but isn't owned by MB, before anyone goes crazy (either way) about it...

Thats very cool, looks like a sectioned fox mustang from the rear 3/4 shot (and if you squint)

One of my favouritest things in the world is pop-up lights. And this car ticks a lot of other boxes for me too.

Still not convinced of the huge chrome wheels though they may not be as crass about it as some. Amazing the 3rd generation front bumper fits so well considering they don't share a single body panel.. or anything else for that matter...
Above all it is always nice to see a car that many would consider worth so little (even as they become more rare) being given attention & having money & effort lavished upon them, and the perseverance of sticking with it when so many would go get a different/newer/easier "better" car instead. He still has to paint the wiper arms & window trims though..

love the car but shame about the boring, common wheels.

love the car but shame about the boring, common wheels. Ehh?? I can't say I'm tripping over them at scrapyards and they certainly aren't seen on Honda's much. BBS RS's are lovely, especially when the sizing/offset is right for the car and especially when they are finished as nicely as these. If I didn't like them so much on your Fiesta, I would have to say that Ford RS four spokes are more common and more boring than RS's - but that would be negative and I don't do that

Looks friggin' mint! Love the standard bodykit, the front bumper is nice and deep, and the boot lip spoiler is perfect. Cool wheels not often seen on a Honda.
Only thing I'd change is to have the centres of the wheels painted silver, instead of all polished. But until I build a car this cool, who am I to criticise.......

You can't go wrong with BBS in my opinion. I'm certainly not getting a 'samey' vibe from this car.

looks nice and i have a lot of time those 'ludes, however i am getting a bit stanced out at the mo, have a feeling it will go the same way as JDM when i was into civics, and just become a check box car...low, bbs's, bit of camber, moody photo...plus the amount a set of those bbs's cost you nthink little things like touching up the obvious blemshes and scratches would be done first?! however, i do love it, in the spirit of RR no negativity
