get some clear corners and clear turn signals, then it would look even better. IMO.

White, it looks way cleaner like that. Personally I don't mind them from the factory with the black on most crx' but it doesn't really match yousr as much.

I would keep the handles black. Looks a lot better (I think).

Also stay away from the clear corners

Ha Ha , at work we sometimes mess with the customers and tell them they were low on blinker fluid. We just throw it in there when we go over the levels of their fluids. Its funny as hell when they believe it.

ooooooooo that rex is tite! that is owned by a guy on honda-tech and was featured in last month's super street. i think the dark color makes it look good with the black trim. that guy is local. i almost went to a honda-tech meet to check out that car. besides being RHD, it also has the JDM glass roof and folding mirrors. and its powered by a mildly built B16a1.
