6k

They are not actually as bright as I thought.
I have a extra set of EF9 headlights in the garage I"m debating about cutting up to add a projector to it.

But way better then stock. Just need to angle them properly

You're lucky to find a 88-89 or zc spec front bumper. I've been looking for one all year and no luck to get one for my hatch yet. I think finding 88-89 front is harder to find than the rears, which is mainly why I want the front 1st then worry about the rear later. Anybody want to sell me one?

I'm 6'3" and I want to hide inside the coupe. No need for a rag-top, plus the trunk is what I'm after in the coupe.

It's like the EF hatchback I could never build basically.

if the rear lip you have won't work on it chances are its not from a EF9. The first year EF9 is 1989, and they look the same as the new year 90-91 EF9. You may have a 88 spec rear bumper which has the indent for the pinstripe but the bumper is smaller around the bottom

I had a blast driving the crx around town tonight, then it began to rain like mad so we stopped and took cover at a dealership.

FYI: Sale pending on the crx. Potential buyer is supposed to send me his flight arrival info for this Sunday

Haven't found my replacement car yet, got two leads on some M Coupes though. Woot.

Sigh, I'll miss you guys.

i painted my CF hood...didn't come out wavy at all. I mean you still have to sand the clear before you paint anyway; should take all the waves out at that point.

This was always my fear of painting a cf hood, b/c once its painted you can't go back. Instead, I sold it and bought a metal hood.

what about the large amount of weight reduction you get from a CF hood? thats the real reason to have one, IMO

you can find junky-finish hoods out there (cf ones)...those dont hurt as much to paint.

we got a crappy looking one for our Grassroots CRX for 75 bucks. fiber images too! LOL

I'll have some peace of mind being able to insure the next vehicle for what it's actually worth.

Found a black M Coupe with koni's, swaybars, chip and exhaust, or a stock green one which I've still got to call about.

I won't lie it was a lil sad driving it around last night. Car pulls so hard when you punch it.

About to book a flight to Columbus Ohio... just gotta talk w/the seller to make sure he's avail tomorrow.

And it's green. The only thing I'll do is lower it a tad and find something to make me poor in the size of wheels and tires.
