Thanks. Luckily I found one on ebay for $98.00 shipped from UK. But I will contact him later on for the UKDM B16 cluster once my B18c1 is done.

And I like your style of not sparing any expense to work on your crx. A moto I also hope to live by.

Those floor mats are awesome, I think I might need to get myself a pair. Maybe change it up a bit so as not to copy. The LED gauge lights are beautiful and something that I need to do. Car is looking great man. Its projects like these that make me mad that I can't get mine running. I had no idea Honda could still get old OEM Crx parts, after I get some $$$ and mine running looks like I'll need to pop on over to Honda

Wow, really great work! Thank you for saving another CRX from a slow and riced-out death.

And congratulations on your new addition!

Subscribed! I had a question about your leaky roof seam seals. After seeing your thread, and went out and checked mine... and they appear to have minor cracks in them just like in your pictures. I really have no idea what the best way to repair them would be, will you be doing a write up or anything when it comes time?

Looking great man! I am hoping to restore DD ef sedan one day.

were did u get the vinyl at and whats the process to put it on do u need special tools? im thinking of also doing this as a temp fix

Turbo Dan

If you do decide to do more parts of the car, you should look into getting proper wrapping vinyl.

The vinyl that is made to wrap cars has something called rapid air technology or similar.
The process is to get the base white vinyl, and laminate it with the matching clear laminate.

It has veins on the glue side of the vinyl that allows air to flow under the vinyl while it's being applied.

You can literally wrap the entire hood and then notice a 2" bubble in the middle and rub it a bit and it will flatten out and the air will bleed away from the bubble outwards.

You literally just slap it down and rub it flat, done

impressive progress so far! I love seeing threads like this because I'm doing a complete restoration as well and this is motivating/inspiring for me

Turbo Dan

You will be glad you used that vinyl, it's the best. I can vouch that after 4 years being applied it can be removed easily with no glue left behind.

I used that vinyl to do my wrap in 2009, turned out good, It's still wrapped to this day.

looks great bro. how much did the wrap run you? I am considering this now!

Turbo Dan

The thing that made it a bit easier for me I think was I had the entire roll laminated with the matching clear laminate, this gave it a bit more thickness and made it a lot easier to keep from stretching when I didn't want it to stretch. It had a harder time on the tight areas like the door handles, but the body panels are a lot easier to do with a laminate mated to the vinyl.

StreetsideStig

Looks great! I like the vinyl.

Turbo Dan

I trimmed mine at the edge of the lip instead of stretching it inside and around the fender lip.
Reason was that the paint on the inner lip didn't let the vinyl stick to it well enough and I knew it would be an issue so I trimmed to the outer lip:

I love ur thread....

inspiring / motivating to get on the ball with my rex

would have never asked if that wasnt painted...great job on the viny, patience is one of ur virtures..lol

was disappointed with the motor, until i read she was a dd beater,,,they i thought hack of an idea with a tasteful rsx to drive around in...

I think the bushings complete and the replacement of the upper ball joints and such is something i am considering,,would look further in ur thread to c ideas...

i was considering the energy bushing kit,,,

The floor mats, although not og idea,, a great way to wrapp up that interior,,was awed to see how clean she turned out inside with the si seats...

think am goin to do sum homework for the suspension idea u put on ur ride...

GT3, always look good,,imo silver or stripped to metal,, U should lower it a bit, js

Honestly the best threads of crx ive seen,,,enjoyed postn this up... Overall great simple, and a clean...

Keep On keepin On.....

StreetsideStig

WOW!
I had a fw posts open in different tabs. When I got to this post, all I saw was just the pictures of a very clean CRX.
I had no clue at all this was vinyl wrapped - had to go back a page to see what was going on!
VERY NICE!

When you say "Put leds in my gauge cluster"... How do you mean??? LED replacement bulbs or??????

Good job man.. I do graphic design at a sign company and we do wraps all the time. I never thought of anyone doing a whole one color wrap instead of paint.. cool
