this is so true, I don't know why anyone would have bought the car new and not opted for it. makes the interior look 100x better.

Not to mention functional. I use the little pocket in the one on my crx for my phone or whatever. I hated that my hatch didnt have one.

A few years back I found one oem fog light at a salvage yard, pretty banged up but still had all the parts. Last week I finally found a CRX with oem fog lights "once again bad shape but has harness/switch/brackets"

I plan on restoring these since the glass is in good shape and just needs a major overhaul. The brackets are rusted but nothing a wire brush/paint cant fix.

Anyone happen to have the exploded view/install directions for the optional fog lights for the crx/civic hatch/wagon?

Haha, the problem with going too big is you need something even bigger to lug it around!

That is a nice design, Im not sure if there is certain brands to stay away from. certain things to look for. I like the V-nose front, just seems like a smarter idea but may take away from space. Also unsure of things to look out for while buying used.. really just starting to look into it. If I wanna take my crx off this island Im going to need one.

Thanks BLU.

I know when we were scca racing.

We used to have a converted boat trailor.

When the Rabbit met it's maker.

We built a Spec Miata. While that was happening our trailer grew legs with another trailor we had sitting next to ours.

Well on that theory we said oh well bought another trailor.

We found a guy getting out of drag racing.

26' tow behind with dual axles. I think it was a pace if I can remember rightly.

The guy had checkerboarded the floor, had cabinets in it etc. We fit the miata in it with ease plus spares.

Picked it up for 5k, found it on CL.

You better have a decent truck if you're planning on towing an enclosed. My old Tundra V8 with 245hp/280tq (with an intake and exhaust) SUCKED at towing my enclosed.



My rig next to my buddy's Renegade stacker



The old Tundra...I REALLY miss this truck, but it just didn't have the power I needed

Towing? With my flat bed I'd get 15mpg on long trips. Hooked up the enclosed and it dropped to 10-11. My new diesel with the same trailer gets 13 but can tow up 10% grades at 80mph. Hahaha.

Yeah, I have thought of that Nick.. Any pics of the new truck and trailer combo?
and care to share specs on your trailer.. length and width you went with? certain specs to look for in particular?

The plan is to sell everything except whats needed for the queen. make things simple!

*Edit: This should probably be taken to another thread b.c its not very EF related... just appreciate some of the guys in here's opinions. Sorry -NA-!
