I finalized the design of the lug hole cover. So they are ready if anyone wants to buy a set.
I ship 30 of them.
They use 4.5 mm allen and are threaded for Honda m12x1.5
Only about 8 mm in height and sit flush
Lots of colors

Does it have a temp range on the data sheet? I think PLA itself starts to soften around 60ºC/140ºF. Looks good though!

Yea, print range is 200-230c
I haven't tested them yet, but i don't think I will have issues.
That part does not get that hot.At least not on my car.

Drove about 30 miles
Got out and inspected them and they were still very stiff, not soft at all.

wasn't very hot today so I will have to recheck them on a hot day, but so far I anticipate zero issues.

These are printed in carbon fiber pla, so it is a bit harder.
I had to upgrade the nozzle on my printer to be able to print it

I am not using the 3/4 bracket any more, so if anyone wants that bracket. ( I know HF models use it)
Pay the shipping and you can have it.

I had a look at the MSDS for the material and they reckon 21% deflection at 85ºC/185ºF

You should be sweet!

Have you tried using an acetone vapour bath at all yet? I've had mixed results but you can get a super high gloss smooth finish with enough patience.

I have not. I don't think that works with pla. And I began switching over to petg, so abs seems irrelevant to me. Too harsh of chemicals

Its the details that matter. I like the subtle mods that you may not notice at first glance, but make all the difference. Very clean ride, i'll be following this one.

I deisgned these for an s2000
Although the crx has keyed entry they really add something special to the look. The fit is not as good as on the s2k.
I thing the extra effort is worth the potential theft deterrent it might pose.

also made this
and did this

If you have keyless entry on the CRX install some 4 door rear door handles.
