Re: My Crx de-rice thread
Probably head to home depot as soon as the money starts flowing
I think they are I haven't looked in a few days been to damn hot here for me to go outside plus I've been spending a lot of time with the wife because if I start this job we have conflicting schedules so I won't see her much
That's awesome I kinda wish I could do that for the whole car untill I can get new old bumpers I'll be rocking that body kit and I know people are gonna be screaming rice
Probably just gonna find some steelies and rock me till I can get some good looking rims, any suggestions on rims for Crx's?
Yeah no **** right?
Thanks bro, I am sorta wishing I would have waited for a cleaner slate to work with but hey I'm glad I could save this one at the same time

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
thats what I was saying on the steelies, get the geo storrm ones, there were a bunch of other clone cars to that series that had the same wheels, painted with the argent silver, they look just like Honda steelies, they bolt right on with no issues. The advantage is they are a lot newer then the original Honda ones, so in generally better shape, but they look like Honda parts. They are also pretty light you might like them enough to leave them on, the style fits the car

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
na they would look like they were painted at the factory, the factory Honda silver is so close I can't really tell the difference, it's getting hard to find slot steelies, like Honda used to use up until the early 90's I think, but this is just another option of finding them

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
So I got called today to start work tomorrow, since this is my only availible car right now, I had to put the body kit and altezzas back on it looks sooooooo bad. On the bright side I'll be having some cash flow again which is nice. I'll put a couple pics up soon so everone can have a good laugh, btw zip ties are the best thing since duct tape haha I think I used about 50 of em to hold the bumpers on for now. Still so much work to be done.

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
Anyone ever use these? Or buy from these guys? http://www.ebay.com/itm/90-91-Honda-...#ht_6813wt_794
Also I wouldn't go with pink or purple whatever that is, probably go with the pure white

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
if you want projectors, at least do these..

putting hid's in a non-projector housing is no bueno., also, no goofy halos and they look decent on an ef
here they are on my sedan..

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
oh yeah.. i still have my oem lights if you're looking for a set. i'm located up near everett. the glass is perfect, but you'll need to reuse your brackets, because i used mine for my projectors.
there's quite a few ef's in the yards up here as well.. lynnwood pick-n-pull has a few, arlington pick-n-pull has a bunch, and northwest auto recyclers out in lake stevens has a couple.

good luck, always good to see someone helping to beautify the world one removed and dis-guarded body kit at a time
also, wow those wheels would be so much better suited as boat anchors

Re: My Crx de-rice thread
there was another set of wheels that came on that series of geo storm,geo series, which were aluminum,very clean looking and they fit, other then having to clearance the center holes slightly, I was originally going to use a set but could only find two. I put mine in a lathe to do them,but you could do it yourself if you had to, they might clear better on that then the Accord
