Default Bought a CRX and I Have a few questions..

I used to own an EG and I wanted to try out the EFs so I bought a 1991 CRX DX. Doesn't sound bad yet i know but I really wanna throw some JDM stuff on it but the car has a molded Invader body kit on it and the only kit I would even think of doing is the Mugen one. My question is how hard is a molded kit to take off. I know I'm going to be sanding it down so I can even get the bumpers off but they sealed the side molding as well. Do I just need to sell it and find another or can I manage this one without paying a crap load of money?

dual action sander will be your friend, some thicker grit will eat the bondo like it was never there, I would probablly keep it if the body is straight under all the bondo ie: Never been wrecked... Do IT!!

That body kit makes me shiver...the rice is horrible. What do you guys think of the Mugen kit maybe with some HX or fat 5s?

40 grit and a grinder will chew that bondo and spit it out

I didn't know if you could get those in Poly or not. I really like the stock look with a nice carbon lip. I might try that for starters..but it looks like I am going to take a hammer to the actually kit and then grind the shat out the bondo with 40 grit. Thanks for the info guys..
