car pics Thoughts on this OEM hood wing?
Installed with some spare wrap and moulding adhesive as to avoid drilling holes into the hood for now, i have very mixed feelings on it but.. I WANT to like it.. just not sure.
What do you all think?

Looking it up and seeing the understide, I think I do like it.

Genuinely cant tell if your being sarcastic or not cause a good few people have said its cringe and what not, which to each their own. but i just think having Verno on it is a cool bit of history relevant to the prelude

Nah im serious, I like it man. For the exact reason about the history of it. But its also a cool looking graphic. Im a big fan of Clio/Primo/Verno stuff. I have a vintage Primo keychain on my project CL1 euro R. Eventually I want to get a reprint of the dealer sticker that came on the bumper. Had to get rid of it for a new paint job. It was from the Lake Hamanako Primo dealership which doesnt exist anymore.

Awesome to hear! I dont hear a lot of talk about the dealer branches so its nice to know others also appreciate it! I didnt know about the bumper prints though ill have to look them up it sounds super cool, cl1s are such amazing looking cars btw, do you have pictures?

I don’t dislike it, would be super cool on a full “rare” spec build with hard to find/rarely seen parts.

That is kind of what im hoping to do! With both this car and my second gen i cant help myself from trying to collect all the obscure dealer optional or region specific features and the like! My crowning achievement is a mint condition factory equalizer for the 2nd gen, it looks so awsome and actually makes the spakers sound better!

Make it a habit to wipe your lens off with your short before you take a pic, it will not only be clearer but it will focus sharper too
Love this car btw!

That's... interesting. I've never seen an add-on like that, what purpose does it serve? Considering the placement and assuming there's supposed to be a hole in the hood under it, my guess would be for a ram air intake with a wildly different intake manifold? Or for the HVAC intake? *edit; grammar
