Default A new chapter to my CRX (56k Stay Away)

After spraying my car myself a couple time, car started out as oem white, i sprayed it gunmetal, then flat green, and back to white again. I realized that I have layed down alot of material over this car. I figured its about time I start over with this and kick it up a notch.

Paint and Prep was done by me. Alot of stuff was purchase brand new and alot of trial and error was involve to make this happen for me. I am finally able to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

This how it looked last before I put the car down and did some work on it.


I started out by gutting out my doors and exterior down to bare metal.




































Getting it ready for our local lake front meet and I was asked by my s2krewe aka s2000 buddies to see if I was avaliable that sunday to cook them crawfish, so i agreed and cooked a pot of 130lbs+ crawfish, including corn, potatos, mushrooms, and smoked sausages.. It turned out great! awesome food, beatutiful weather, cool people and sexy cars. great way to end a weekend.

















Some better pics and rolling shots will be getting ready.

super nice, except for the ricer holes. You should get a new rear bumper cause, those holes are completely ruining the entire car.

was wondering what makes them ricer holes?, i was also looking for a rear bumper just as you mention here, finding one in good or ok condition has been a challenge, but im still on the look out for one at the moment.
