I havnt seen that and I almost bought one of those. they are pretty rare. 3rd gen spare is worth looking into and Is more common. such a good wheel some fd guys used a pair as front wheels on drag cars.

Wow, that is some serious DIY. You took your time and did it right. Well done.

Sidenote, I am only fulfilling my two post reqirement to be able to post a 1982 Prelude for sale. But my above comment was for real. And look for it soon if you're interested. Later

All CRV owners should learn that there is a gap in the body work in the front wheel fender area that allows mice to enter from the wheel well. It can be accessed and screened from the outside (remove the tire and the fiberglass wheel well cover).

That's funny, I actually have a 2nd gen RX7 parked next to the CRV now. The spare is crazy lightweight.....but I also just picked up a new OEM spare tire cover that we're going to paint the same 2-tone as the CRV (over the Mitsubishi spare). It should look pretty nice

Also, you can see the wife has her sticker for her business on the window now, and the car/sticker has been getting tons of jobs lately

I wish I had 1/10th the skill you had in DIY'ing stuff. That's some damn good work.

I can't even make eggs over easy without overcooking it 1/2 the time.
