You must be excited! I've owned a few Prelude's in my day as well. Loved my 4th gen SR-V the most. Here are a few I owned:

1993 Honda Prelude SR-V
1992 Honda Prelude S
1991 Honda Prelude Si
1986 Honda Prelude SE

Sorry that this is off-topic to the thread, but curious as to why you had the dash replaced, what was the issue?

Yes I am very excited! I'll be sure to post pics when it arrives.

Wow you've owned quite a few preludes, 3 generations! I loved the 91 model year 3rd gen and the 4th gen SR-V. Between you and me we had all 3 trims of the 4th gen. Since mine was refreshed it had the electroluminescent gauges in addition to the dash I could only find the SR in excellent condition when I bought mine, but hey it was still a great car! I credit it with being the reason I'm buying an FR-S in the first place.

The only issue I've had with my car (never had crickets, rough idle, rear deck popping, etc) was that the rubber dash part (dome thing) above my centre HVAC vents, started to lift up a bit. A few people on this forum had similar issues and it progressively got worse. So Subaru ended up replacing the dash. Not something I really wanted, but they did a fantastic job and I haven't had any weird rattles since. Or scratched parts from them doing the install, which I found impressive.

Yeah I loved them. I actually bought the 94 SR-V back in 2010 (sold my '08 Lexus IS to try and save some money for our first baby that was on it's way). I found this one with 150k bone stock, and no rust for $2k. I couldn't pass it up! I actually sold it when my wife's mat year was over for more than I paid

Picked mine up yesterday. Got about 250 km on it so far!

An AE86 drove past me and we locked eyes. Pretty epic moment.

For you maybe, but probably not him.

Sounds like you watch too many commercials LOL

Here's a question about the Monogram series that I can't seem to get a straight answer on - do we get Navigation in Canada? I'm looking to see if anyone here can confirm once they've taken possession. Thanks!

^ No navigation (It's a 1000$ option), but you should be getting the Pioneer touch screen head unit

Monograms are closer to JDM but still not quite there yet. They still managed to "cheap out" on some of the things the BRZ Limited (Sport-Tech) has... Like mentioned above.

Do I regret buying the BRZ? Not really...

Would I have waited if I knew the Monogram series existed? Probably not...

Just enjoy what you have now because I can guarantee you that I would have gone crazy if I did not have my BRZ for as long as I have already... (almost 2 years)
