Definitely go back stock unless you have a genuine Mugen kit. It looks alot better. The stock bumpers can be found at the dealership ($200 bucks each), the junkyard, or keep an eye out for a old Rex in somebodys yard. Don't know about the bondo though. Worse comes to worse you can zip tie it like me.

Go back to stock. It will be a PITA if the rear bumper is molded into the back.

And what does it matter what we think? It's your car man.

Wings West Full Body Kit:



Do not want. IMO, stock looks much better. I'm not a fan of the mesh grill parts that they put in the bumpers. Plus the spoiler looks a little too rice. To each his own though.

Exactly. If you like it and can see yourself happy with it, then get it.

Are you talking about the kit, or was that directed towards me?

after seeing his car.....it's a lost cause. just leave it as is and work on the motor.


if it's powerful, maybe it'll be fast enough that people wont see it.

sorry if it hurts your feelings....


but if you polish a turd, it's still a turd. a new set of bumpers isnt going to change a thing on that car. it's still fugly. and i'm a fan of CRXs.





you should worry about a new hood first.

Well I dont mind either or but if you want to go back to stock its gonna take some work. You can get them either at a dealer, some one parting out or junker. Also have you thought of mix and matching ? You never know it might look decent. I never seen anyone do it so I wouldnt know.

I for one think that red WW CRX looks great (minus the spoiler). Looks well done and clean.

you're planning on spending $400 on new OEM bumpers for that thing?


the car is probably worth half of that. just leave it as is and try to fix the kit so it fits better and repaint the whole car. OEM bumpers arent going to make that look any better.
