2000 Honda Prelude SiR - "Insomnia was only a Prelude"
The Mashin Auto Salon (MAS) happened on the 28th January and the livestream had people present their work.
Here's my part: https://youtu.be/16tipPnCng4&t=11001
When I started 3D Modelling, I wanted to finish of some projects that I left behind me in S-Tuner. Whether it was a finished car or one of the unfinished ones, I just wanted to see them in their ultimate form. This is was one of those projects, and now also my entry for Mashin Auto Salon, a virtual car show organized by @sad_machines and friends.
The idea was to have a Prelude with a full on R34 Skyline rear end swap, preferably with some compability to other R34 rear end parts. The rear fenders have been widened by a good 15-25mm which includes the rear bumper though. The compability is partially lost there, however things such as a Mine's trunk spoiler fit just like on an actual R34.
Due to technical limitations on my end, I sadly couldn't visualize the car's presentation the way I wanted, so I hope to one day revisit it with better hardware.
"Where's the Prelude?"
It's right here.
Full rear end transplant, compatible with various parts, such as the Mine's trunk spoiler or the VeilSide rear bumper.
On the other hand, everything before the B Pillar is still a Prelude.
Full frontal shot.
Custom headlight covers and fender fins to go with the shark theme. Also, I kept the OEM headlight crease for extra detail (the real Grounddesign2000 bumper doesn't have it)
Custom Shark graphics I drew myself. I have no drawing talent whatsoever, but they still came out better than expected.
I did recycle some parts from LJ's Civic, however I changed them up for the Prelude. Wheels, brakes and seats just to name the obvious ones.
I also recycled the shift knob and stereo from Insomnia, the steering wheel is custom though.
The Auto Salon Booth. You'd be able to buy posters of the Insomnia renders here or commission a custom car.
The wheels in the back are supposed to tease upcoming projects as they will be used on them. Shoutout to FilipJDM for rendering those two for me.
How the car came to be:
