Default 90-91 CRX taillights are sooo much prettier than 88-89.

Before:


After:




I'm gonna shine them up tomorrow, and I'm in the process of looking for a new decal for the center piece, because as you can see, the current one is kinda in rough shape. Any idea where I can find one? I've checked eBay, but for some reason can't really seem to find much.

on the hatches i like the 88-89 style tails... but on the CRX i gotta say i'm pretty undecided on the differences

although from your pics i think on the black cars the 90-91 tails look better A+

The lights are a personal preference but I think it looks good cuz ur car is black so the lights blend together better. One thing I've noticed about the later style lights is that they never match the center piece. The center piece is always much darker but I like the later style reverse lights.

ill vouch for stickershop.ca i got one of his ebay ones. it was a pretty good copy.

and i also have to agree about the look of the 90-91. there is good reason they redesigned the taillights and trim.

I paid $75 CDN for these, plus $20 for shipping. I know that the guy could have probably got more for them, cause after I bought them, before they even arrived at my door I already had people trying to buy them off me lol.

88-89

It's a matter of personal preference.
