Well everyone, it's that time again to cast your votes, but this time around, it'll be for Prelude Of The Year. Lets not blow this thread up full of crap like we did for last years POTY. It's just simply cast your vote, make a little comment about someones car if you'd like, and be done with it. Show some love to the other Luders and be adults about it

Mulrich has my vote.

Such a great lineup! Love the mass PM!

netzyo98. Loving the "modern" oldschool + colour combo nails it!

Mulrich07 has my vote

Gotta vote for my man Joel, netzyo98. Seen this car in person at ECPM '11 and pix don't do it justice. Really nice guy too.

Good luck, everyone!

id say Rjudgey..who doesn't love the sound of side draft webbers..
his knowledge of the 2nd gen has helped out many on here as well

Netzyo98's H22 swap is legit but gotta love phattzy's RHD boosted Lude with amazing exterior looks! I gave it to the underdog (phattzy).

netzyo gets my vote

mulrich07

Ahhh man tuff call, they all look really good!!!

^^^ smh

Go Jdmtrevin!!!

Mulrich07! i'm usually not a red fan but that car looks great!!

My vote is going to Mulrich07 :)

Netzyo98 got my vote. It was tuff. I think phatzzy had some major work too and looks good. His is all purpose. I think netzyo executed color and style better. My same color combo. Not a fan of stickers on the dash on and gauge installation execution on phatzzy's. No offense. Great Lude just not my style and who am i to say what is popular down under. Plus netzyo rockin' the hawker odyssey battery even if it is about 1/5th the power of my two hawker odyssey batteries.

JDMTrevin!

[Thanks for the mass-PM as it alerted me to vote!]

Gotta vote for my man Joel, netzyo98. Seen this car in person at ECPM '11 and pix don't do it justice. Really nice guy too.

Good luck, everyone!

netzyo98 gets my vote. Also seen his car in person and it's the cleanest H22A swap into a 3rd gen I've ever seen. One day I wish my 3rd gen could be so cool! :)

Mulrich

Netzyo98 has my vote looks like a good setup clean to.

thanks everyone for the votes , im just proud to be in the line up . yes mine is all purpose and with abit of luck i might be able to show everyone the first 600 FWHP b20a6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck to everyone and cant wait for the results .

Phattzy :)

That front end just looks so... Mean!

Phattzy gets my vote sick 3G bro.

Phattzy, just because I know how that car originally looked, lol

i think my 3gen should be on that list



You have to win POTM first. But you don't have enough posts to run and someone has to nominate you first.

Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

thanks drake and 3Gpreludetuner24 , maybe one day I can get to play a little on your ludes ? hehe

My vote goes to netzyo98.
Perfect clean look and awesome mods... Respect!

@ Phattzy
Great work too, but touch to much on exterior and gauges...

And rest of the ludes are great, but only one vote...

All I have to say is 3rd gen with H22 drop and gold trim looks tight!

Mulrich gets my vote. Clean car man! Nicely done!

JDMtrevin, Really simple and clean..

congrats netzyo98

Congrats Netzyo Im happy you got the honours this year with this tight competition but congrats to all the runners up its not easy building a gen3 not many parts available so for that you have my respect! :smilejap:

wow, this is truly amazing and a honor to not only be selected for POTY but to also get voted on. All the candidates have very great looking preludes and I thank you all for the votes on my lude.
I have to say that My prelude would not be what it is today if it wasn't for the prelude communities online, especially prelude power... For all the information and help from all the members that have put it all out there for us to read and learn from. And for the custom fab, and parts that we have today.

It is important to keep the information true and accurate, so everyone can get the correct gouge (info) so we can accomplish anything we put our mind too.

Hopefully the lude will get a little more cleaned up in the near future and look even better :)

So again I thank you all here at prelude power for the interest in my Prelude and for the support.

Mulrich indeed!!! Simple, but original and I like that. Also the car is clean!!!

netzyo98 my vote - from Jump - still around

netzyo98!

Congratulations, netzyo98 for Prelude of the Year 2011!
