The crx fenders are alittle different..At the bottom there is the piece fot the lower panel trim and the crx fenders are wider..But damn the difference in pricing is bullshit..

 

crx fenders are little different than ANY other? ie no swapping?

 

what about door weather stripping???...need the piece on each side the glass you know if thats interchangable?

 

CRX fenders Have a smooth bubble whereas the hatch fenders have a more defined bubble

 

i may just get a hatch fender and see for myself
thanks for the input

 

the hatch fender will bolt on, but there will be two major problems, and one small one.

the first major problem is it just goes down, since the hatch has no side skirts. so the side skirts won't look right.

the second real problem is that the bubble in follows all the way to the bumper, the hatch front bumper goes farther in to make this look alright. but with the crx bumper, you'll be able to see the white things behind it.

the final thing which isn't too big of a deal is that the hatch corner lenses aren't the same as the crx ones, you'll have to use the hatch ones with the hatch fenders.

if u need a fender let ne know ill sell it to ur for $30

 

The civic bumper has a metal valance which wraps around and is attached under the bumper. Hatch fender will not look right on a CRX.

 

thanks for the great input :D
what about hatch bumper and fenders? is the hatch wider? i know anything is possible but is it probable to put the bumper and fenders on teh rex so the lines match?

i really need a rex in better condition but Michigan sux

im having trouble visualizing what you are saying here

 

back to first page

 

70 bucks for shipping. from ca to az. i think id rather hit the junkyard.

 

tell me about it.. my price on a crx fender is $122 and for the civic $14 I asked my distrobuter why and she said becasue its a sport car.. I just laughed

 

yeah i keep picking the expensive projects... i have a '77 T/A in my garage that i can't afford to get rolling and now i have my honda gokart that needs serious TLC

that may be a nice conversion if done right
the civic hatch bumper and fenders on a CRX

should i repost this in the Miscellaneous and Appearance to get more info?
&lt;-h-t.com nub

 

look its hard to explain exactly what im talking about but Ill try again... The hatch fenders including the rear quarter panels have a very defined flair if you will.. Now the crx fender and quarter panel are smoothed out soo if you put hatch fenders on your rex the fenders and quarter panels will not match and vice versa its kind of a subtle difference but maybe you under stand what im talking about??? Or should i find some pics??

 

Just look..you notice the differences.?

 

i think i know what u r saying... it's more pronounced on the 92-95's
if i do use the hatch's bumper and fenders i may be able to match the rear with a custom fender flare

 

this is my hatch w/ crx fenders and quarters
