Hey guys,
I'm about to have my 1990 CRX Si repainted and have some body work done after an accident (not my fault). Anyways i need to replace most of the trim and have it painted along with the rest of the body. I've been trying for over a week now to find trim.. ive yet to try Honda in fear of outrageous prices. I live in maryland if anyone in the area can ship me trim in really good condition or if you have a site i can go to or company i can call. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

+1 Best thing you could do. then refurbish it and write up a DIY.

INJEN78 · 02-19-2009, 09:18 AM

junkyad,maybe even ebay

George777 · 02-19-2009, 09:52 AM

I've never had luck at a junkyard with CRX's or parts for one. But I suppose it would matter the area that you were in.

Let us know if you find some place that does sell them. I need some for mine, too.

TurboRex90 · 02-19-2009, 12:23 PM

So i just checked with Honda in my area and they estimated it around $900.00 to get the complete trim kit for both sides.. errr WOW. its about $420 to replace just the side i need so i may just have my bud shave the trim. what you guys think?
Championship white CRX, with shaved trim...and my intercooler poking through the front bumper

i think it could be sexy

Ethan · 02-19-2009, 01:56 PM

I just found out there is a crx in a junkyard near me im gunna go asap and see whats left on it.

Z6CRX · 02-21-2009, 11:32 AM

theres junkyards everywhere in maryland.

well maybe not everywhere. if you are near Baltimore there are countless junkyards. When I lived around there could at least find at least one every weekend.

No luck car is 100% stripped. Looks like a dead dear hyenas got to.

TurboRex90 · 02-22-2009, 02:02 PM

thanks anyways for looking. but i think i decided on having my trim shaved off. its way to costly to replace it all to new.
