piece of advice never buy honda parts from certifit... or better known as "sortafit"...
i bought a hood from there and it had like a 1 inch gap between it and the fenders, and i toed in the fenders as far as poss.
just google "genuine honda parts" and use those sites they might be a little higher but everything has a warranty and u can send the parts back for exchange if they dont fit...

sweet! looks like exactly what ive been looking for. I just need to figure out how to read it.. cuz i cant find the numbers to the parts that i need.. they are pictured but i might be blind

... Rocker panel, lower door trim and side trim (fender to rear qtr). Maybe you could point me in the right direction.

Update: i figured it! ha, thanks for the link though. really saves me money over buying directly from Honda

So its starting to come along, ill post some pictures as soon as i find a faster way of posting a crap ton of them. The damages were fixed, body filler applied and the shaping/sanding has begun. Its starting to turn out nice. Im about to spend 400$

on new trim, sunroof, clips etc to make the finished project look pretty stock. Then invest in a lip kit, maybe a JDM bumper etc. Try to get pictures up soon!

TurboRex90 · 05-05-2009, 10:54 PM

Im gonna try to post pictures as soon as i find a faster way to upload a whole bunch at a time. Last time i tried i was denied for some technical reason. Anyone has a solution to my problem, and ill have pictures us as soon as its settled.

dacheat · 05-09-2009, 11:50 PM

haha, im trying! Im in the process of making a "slideshow" from when i bought it, to how far along it is with the body work.
Whats an easy way to post a ton of pictures on here without using another site to upload them, and copy and paste 30 some URL's?

Good news!. body work is coming close to an end. Paint in the next few weeks

you can create an album here on hondaswap and then use the URL for each image in your posts.

click Gallery>My Albums>Create a new album and then upload your pics. then view one of your pics, and click the Linked Thumbnail field underneath the pic (auto selects the link) and paste it into your thread post.

i usually have two HS windows open when i do this; one window for the thread i'm editing, one window for the gallery/album i'm linking pics from.

example:

now, get on it!

TurboRex90 · 05-10-2009, 09:27 PM

Ha, you guys can be glad to view pictures now of my car.
Unfortunatly i dont have pictures of the car before i started to modify it, but i have pictures of how NASTY it was under the hood. As well as what it looked like before the accident, and wheres its at now under "construction".

Enjoy.

Engine bay, and some body defects of when i first got my CRX.

Old engine bay, before i got my hands on it.

Previous owner tried to "make" his own manifold.

POS hood.

RUST!!!

MORE RUST!!

Jacked hood, its so weak it cant support itself.

Now for what she Used to look like before the body shop.

I eventually got a new front bumper and CF hood, and yes thats a hole. My wastegate would fit

. But no worries, free CF hood.

You can notice the busted windshield from the accident

Here's both my "accidents".
I was hit on the driver side at about 30mph, and then a few weeks later my hood pins broke and my hood lodged itself in my windshield. I also managed to DESTROY my transmission. Had fun replacing that..

...

When a carbon fiber and fiberglass under body separate.

Yes this is my poor tranny.

TurboRex90 · 05-10-2009, 09:34 PM

Because i had too many pictures to post at one time, i had to separate my posts.
So heres the Body work.

Enjoy

New door and rear section from damage

waiting for new fender

Getting ready to fill some mystery dents in the hatch

Replaced welds on door hinge

Fixed rear quarter after accident.
