Opinions people! lemme have em.
Ok. pretty strait forward question. I'm saving up money to buy stuff for my car. Now my problem is, i'm torn between getting a body kit, or just saying up more money and getting a Jacksonracing Supercharger. See, I can get the body kit for $525 plus shipping then have it painted and put on for more. I can get the JRSC purchased, installed, and everything done for $3800. The body kit painted and all would probably more upwards of around $1300-1500. BTW, the body kit is a full body kit replica of the Mugen kit, new without primer. Do you guys think I should buy the body kit and just put that on? or should I save up and get the JRSC put on instead. This is going to be all of my summer money on this one, so I gotta make sure before I just jump out and buy one. And I'm also thinking that maybe I'll keep my job after summer but not work as much, so eventually i might be able to get both, but I just wanna know what should i get first? Thanks, -MATT

Blowing your money on either of those is a bad idead..... body kits not Honda OEM will shake, rattle, and not look right after a while. As far as an SC, don't do it. Unless you will be a serious racer ONLY (as in, this car sits in the garage under a cover and is hauled to the track on a trailer on race day only). A supercharger on this engine for everyday driving will kill it eventually. Trust me. If you take care of this engine there's no reason for it not to last 250,000 miles. Add an SC, subtract 100,000 miles. Unless you spend the extra money to have all the internals rebuilt to handle the massive pressure. Still a waste of money, though. Just buy the Prelude and enjoy it. It's too nice of a car to waste money on it. But, hey. It's your money, so do what you want.
