inlighten me.... (prelude help)

My friend has a 94' si Lude.

He's wondering what his options are for cheap bolt-on's under 500$. He's got 500$ to blow.

What performance/handling&suspension/cosmetic options does he have for that price.

Nitrous kits would cost more than $500, sure thats what the kit costs. But the accesories that you need to buy so you dont blow your engine. The price goes up fast. I wouldent get a Zex kit either, go with NOS or Nitrous Express, they are the most modifiable. Like Chris said not on a stock motor

tell him to fix the rust on his wheel wheels and/or on the back window pane. unless he's already taken care of that. I'm always seeing preludes with that prob.

decent rims will take care of that 500
and little stuff: cai, ignition upgrades, fuel regultor and rail, plug wires,

bigger stuff: cat back exhaust, rims, body kit.

I said decent rims, and no tires. My friend got an incredible deal on his 16's and they look awesome. I'm not talking about crazy-ass 18's or 20's for like a grand.

you can get some 17" motegi rims with tires for 559 or somethingw/o shipping. thats one hell of a deal, i only wish i could remember the website. your friend could get some coil overs and a sway bar, and have a little cash left over. that would be good

Tell your friend to invest the $500.00 and when he comes up with 3500.00 to come back and ask. $500.00 will get you some Vato Zone (AUTO ZONE) MODS and thats it...
