After all, Carol wouldn't want to see her Mugen (the real deal, not fake crap) body kit wrapped around a pole or anything. As beautiful as the engine bay is, the exterior styling is the first thing that catches your attention so it's important to keep it so fresh and so clean. Along with the Mugen body kit, Carol added a VIS rear wing, Spoon convex side mirrors, carbon fiber eyelids, and ARC canards. The one thing that you might not notice, however, is the carbon fiber moonroof plug. Carol pulled out the factory moonroof and plugged it with sweet carbon fiber-a subtle addition that will score points from the judges. That is, of course, if they haven't already given her points for the Bride coated interior. From the door inserts to the seats to the butt-freakin' upholstery, Carol made sure the interior was decked out in JDM. That's where you'll also spot the Takata 4-point harnesses, JDM Type-S gauge cluster, JDM "Prelude"-stamped doorsills, and Mugen FG360 with center pad steering wheel.
So before we sign off and give you another lame outroduction, let's point out that this Prelude didn't make it into Super Street because a woman owns it. The car is fantabulous by its own merit, and it's shame the majority of you can't step up like Carol. In fact, it's a shame none of the Super Street staff can step it up either. Now that we think about it, we all pretty much suck.
Top 5 Women
We've always had a thing for women athletes. For some reason, women who play sports or who are into the same things we are really turn us on. So we compiled a list of women in sports that we'd like to pork:
1. Amanda Beard, swimmer: Really hot and she does a pretty good breaststroke.
2. Lisa Kubo, drag racer: Just because she knows the difference between a clutch and brake pedal-unlike us.
3. Lisa Leslie, basketball player: The first woman to dunk and though she looks like an Afghan Hound, she can teach us how to dribble.
4. Greg Louganis, Olympic diver: She can somersault like nobody's business.
5. Serena Williams, tennis player: She has more muscles in her right arm than we do in our entire body.
