Fitment of the bumper is gay. Way too wide. Needs fiberglass work. But I'm too lazy and don't care at this point. I'll get it a little better, but maybe I'll break it so I can get a new better fitting bumper.

Beatiful CRX. Nice wheels. I have a few questions for you. How hard were the Sol seats to put in? How does the FI hood fit? Does it rub on the motor at all?
Thanks and very, very nice car!!

so the bumper kinda sucks huh, how did you cut the valve cover so clean for the adj cam gears? looks a lot better than just cutting the end of the valve cover off. thanks man

The Gab wheels you have to get lucky and find. I noticed autocross peeps like the Gabs and CP-Rs. I believe you were referring to my old Sprinthart CP-R's. Both rims were discontinued awhile ago so be preparred to pay prices. I sold my Cp-R's for $1600 with tires. I saw it on partstrader for 16 inche new cp-r's $2000. Rog has a Gab set in white for 15 inches for sale. CP-R and the Gabs I believe you can still get in Japan just gotta find somebody over there that got plugs. Wheelchoice can get them, I believe it was $1500+- $100 for a set of Gabs for CP-r's in 15 or 16. Just keep looking out on the bullentin boards.

Delsol seats the way we went about it yes, it was a pain, welded up my old brackets to new seat, hacked awhile a bunch of shet. I heard people can get them in there easy but I dunno. The CF hood fits well. I had 2 FI hoods and both fit great although I seen some for other cars that don't fit as well. My motor fit under my stock hood fine, so the cf hood just added even more clearance. There's no fiberglass skeleton in that area to hit the valve cover top. ANd the Cam gear cutouts, get a dead motor as a template, put on the valvecover and plastic cover, and use a circular saw attachment piece. I forgot what they call it. But it's circular with sawtooth edges and goes onto a drill.
