Yes, the flare will be cut to match the fender.

I'm Honda-tech's official grammar awareness champion.

Anyways, your question is rather broad, but some obvious items would be any and every suspension bushing on the car. Replacing those can make a world of difference. I also always carried an extra distributor with me at all times. If something mechanical is going to fail its usually that. And of course, there's the main relay. That's another item that typically fails.

Thank you sir, all the bushings will be replaced when i put my suspenion in the car. Distributor is brand new in it the whole motor got all new stuff on it. main relay kind of me.

Ive heard the windsheilds leak alot and the back latch leaks alot (water) wise when it rains hard. True? If so how do i fix that.

Thinking of getting the 10x10 center vent delete and installing my gauges into that.

Also im tossing my alpine deck, I have a double din bezel (radio is single din) with my gauges mounted in it. The question is now do i do a double din delete or sell the double din and go single + delete, im not sure the value of the double din.

I removed my radio and purchased a plate through a member on here a while ago.. 3 gauges where the radio was. Still gotta do something for all the vents now that I have no use for them.
Ill have to check out 10x10.

I used the actual vent location so that the gauges were higher and easier to view:

Yeah, when I started all this I didnt think I would toss the heat, future upgrade I suppose.

Gotta re-do the whole center, no need for heat controls either. One thing at a time though.

I like that nick, 10x10 wants 70 for the unit, I could prob diy for 1/3 of that. Any tips on building one?

But so i have no radio, the question is keep the double din and get a double delete plate or sell it, get the single and delete it also.

Blue that is really cool, but i have my laptop if i need to log, my problem is that spot on the crx is REALLY low and almost dangerous to pay attention to while driving.

Yup yup, that is mekanism's CRX. Unfortunately, I lost touch with him a couple years ago. At that time, he had just bought a house and was changing his priorities a bit. I know he said that he was going to keep the CRX though. Hopefully he made good on that promise.

Btw...that's fourthgenhatchb17's white hatch on the left of that photo...and juuuust a glimpse of my old white CRX on the right. :p
