we got a crappy looking one for our Grassroots CRX for 75 bucks. fiber images too! LOL
I got a carbon hood because I like the way they looked. I don't really care about weight reduction, I don't race the car or anything. It looked good with the slips, but with the works I don't think it looks as good. haha

But yeah painting an ebay hood would be a lot better than a vis or something hahah

lol, not even close. And it looks like the badge was glued on.

Note how the crx and ek are running the same wheel set up front and back. I thought maybe the crx had an ek front end at first.

It's just a type r in the ek haha I know it is just the badge glued on. But I like it. Yeah the tires on the ek were bald on the front so I used the ones off the crx for the winter. The ek got a boo boo the day before I took those pics because the tires were bald.

Rivet the badge on. One of these days you're gonna pop the hood and it'll be gone, lol.

This thread needs rejuvenation. Nihkon's rex in the background, my hatch in front. Taken about a year ago and I believe both cars look the same, lol.

well, 2 days and 12 hours of driving later i'm EF'less for the first time in 10 years and I'm actually ok with that.

If you're nearby I have a 4 point rollbar for sale and a pesonal steering wheel and hub adapter/spacer. I'll eventually get some pics up of both the parts and M Coupe.

The crx is now in Philly and hopefully being well taken care of by its new owner who will remain nameless.

Nice M dude, how much did that run you if you dont mind me asking?

Hey i got a pc680, and i have had it on the trickle charger for 24 hours. Took it off and it was 12.65v, 12 hours later its down to 12.16v, kill switch in the off position so there is NO drain. Is my battery toast?

dude, I don't know what the deal is with those batteries. Mine did the same thing and it was only a few months old. I got summit to send me another one under warranty and sold it.

Thanks guys. I think it's as reliable as any car can be. As long as I keep it's maintenance up to date I should be good. It has 85k on it and a sick color combo.

I don't want to ship the bar, but I guess I could. Any idea how much that'd be?

I have a set of keyless doorhandles I need to sell as well.
