I hate the black hoods. It comes from CF look a like, and is gonna make your clean CRX look way to RICEy...

Leave it stock or spend the cash, That my opinion.

Side note: why dont you just paint the hood and roof black yourself?

Not like those, not in the right size and so on. He has real Stanely Fogs (Rare as Hell, easier to find a Mugen Kit...)...

And I suck. And I'm broke...

jut paint your roof black and save up for a black hood(paint-not carbon cuz really...are you really gonna need carbon fiber? imean you're not doing serious racing in your crx. if you were tho, then you'd need carbon)

Current hood has a 4 inch by 2 inch gash in one side, and I suck at painting. And if I cover the roof in some black vynil material, it isn't permanent... Carbon Fiber looks good though..


EDIT:
Wheel are on, I'm considering lowering it for a slightly lower ride height.. Probably won't lower it more than 2cm though, more pictures later. Looks good!

If you didn't notice, the reply to this was edited in the above post before, but it's moved here now, so that you see it...

So far....
Ground Control Springs/Sleeves
KYB AGX Shocks
Rota Slipstream Wheels
Yokohama S.Drive Tires
Rice Can Muffler
Ebay Short Ram Intake
Si Black Seats
Shift Knob
Interior Neon/LED's
Black Floor Matts
JDM Rear Seat

Here's more pictures. Back of the car is about ~1cm higher than the front, becuase I don't want rub and it looks good. If the front rubs alot, I'll raise that a tad bit as well. But looks good. The wide tires are wonderful, after these pictures are posted, it's gonna go get aligned... Lots of pictures. Hope you like them. I like them.

Deffinately lower it a bit.

TheB1GDude 08-26-2008 01:48 PM

Not bad sweed! I like the look of the rims now you have them on - I would say definitely lower it a little not much but at the moment it kinda looks like its floating.....

Guys pretty cool, actually.

I need to cut the trim inside the fender and roll the front fenders, or it will touch on some drops (there's like 2 foot drop in a 5 foot stretch were I drive everyday, can't avoid it), and that's not good.

Just got it aligned too. More picture tonight and this weekend..

stangdude94 08-29-2008 02:51 PM

wow looks realy clean sweed. and that word is thrown around alot on here and other forums but ur car definetly meats the discription.

only one complaint the muffler hangs down low and looks a little rice. mabey if u lift it up a little it wil look better.


good work keep it up

suicide_star 08-29-2008 03:19 PM

nice to see the rims actually on the car, it looks really good...i just don't like how the muffler is kicked out to the left...isn't the stock muffler originally perpendicular to the car? anyways, throw that thing in the garage now before hurricane Gustav rolls off with it =P

meme405 08-29-2008 03:54 PM

I hate that muffler. Push the muffler back to the stock position and get a chrome kick up lip for the pipe end...

The rims look sweet, but the front that low doesnt rub that much?

Stock is perpendicular to the car... Gustav? This was outisde in the last little tropical storm we had last week...

Funny thing is, the car feels alot faster and like it takes off faster... My AC went out on wednesday afternoon. Blowing ice cold air in the morning too...

Thanks. There's a few things it's missing to be really clean, but it's not far from it...

The muffler has been sagging down some, might fix it, might just snatch a full stock exhust instead. Gonna have to take a trip to a few junk yards soon..

Muffler is bleh, got used to it for a wbile...

Doesn't rub. It's fairly stiff too. It has 350lb springs and the KYB AGX's are set to 4 (1-4, 4 is stiffest), but I think the rear end could be a bit stiff, and possibly the front.

Haven't experienced any rub what so ever.

No mercy will be spent by the staff at XMS if any member continues to flame another person's car in the build off. This is utterly retarded.

This is why we can't have nice things.

imstock 09-09-2008 10:45 PM

After the pruning, I still like the build.

Still think you need to look into an Apexi Ws2 Style muffler...

Too big, lol.
I'm looking at the HKS exhust or the Thermal R/D Exhuast.
But someone put a two-inch dent in a fender, the AC is out, and the fan for the radiator doesn't come on.
