Ok so I managed to scummage around google for some crx's with Y-56 and this is what I found

I'd have a yellow hood with some Drag DR 20 rims in gold

Z6CRX · 03-20-2009, 01:15 AM

Gold may look weird but i would have to see it, bronze maybe?

As far as Honda rim choices 2000si, GSR blades, and HX style rims seem to never look bad.

OGMatt · 03-20-2009, 01:30 AM

I thought that to until I saw on Honda tech a y-49 crx with gold DR 16. It looked Hella fresh.

Z6CRX · 03-20-2009, 01:40 AM

Found some Hella fresh rims

Just beware of the Y-49 curse

.

the 90-91 bumper with the fog light inserts are sexy too

Hahaa

blackdahlia6 · 03-20-2009, 04:57 PM

once u see a quality job of what i described you will agree it looks pretty good. theres this guy by my school who restores crx's and he does the same thing im talking about. the bumpers and skirts he made are the same dimentions as oem only more contoured and smooth, however they still retain the body lines of the car. to get an idea it looks like an eg and ef front bumper had a baby

im spreading ideas around man

and its hard to find a clean stock crx because they are 20 years old....

!JDM_EF-9! · 03-20-2009, 05:03 PM

^got any pics of your ideas your tryin to spread around??^

blackdahlia6 · 03-20-2009, 05:09 PM

matter of fact i started shredding up google right after i posted that this is EXACTLY what the 3 he has done look like only primer grey

blackdahlia6 · 03-20-2009, 05:18 PM

however the side skirts on the cars im talking about dont extend as far down and dont have that bubble shape as that one in the photo. and obviously dont have a spoiler

Slammed89Integra · 03-20-2009, 05:37 PM

Wings west body kit? Wow. Resourceful.....

Which is just a Mugen knockoff.

And why would it look styled like an EG. The EG still has those bump strips unless you have a CX.

Buy an EG. This is why front end conversions rarely turn out right. The body lines and contours don't match up with everything else.

blackdahlia6 · 03-20-2009, 07:00 PM

im not going to buy one. im just saying that smoothing out the rough edges on a crx really makes it look clean. i think it makes the crx look like it prolly would if it were still alive in 92

yup. here...

for the record, there is *nothing* "nasty" on a well-maintained OEM rex.

the plastic trim says "sporty" and "don't dent my fucking doors." it is not nasty. or ghetto.

you have bad taste.

its called a del sol

OGMatt · 03-20-2009, 09:27 PM

hey brad once told me that sol's are more heavy than eg sadans! weather its true of not.

blackdahlia6 · 03-21-2009, 09:28 PM

del sols weigh so much more than a crx i think they are 2400 and ef crx is like 1900

i just like the way crx's look with shaved molding, you dont have the agree with me

efguy16 · 03-21-2009, 09:30 PM

first crx is clean

efhondakid · 03-22-2009, 12:58 AM

Jesus H fucking christ. I would enjoy smacking the taste out of a few peoples mouths in this thread, dacheat you are not one of them.

Seriously people STOP FUCKIN MOLESTING THE CRX!!!!!1 If you ruin the car with a "nasty" body kit and shave job you arent "restoring" it. Restoring it means you put it back to 100% OEM. Damn.

OGMatt · 03-22-2009, 02:02 AM

rep'd cuz oem is da shizzit!!
