The other day I was driving down the road and only doing like 30mph and slammed into the back of a fullsize van. Not a pretty site. Everything I have worked so hard on is now gone. It didnt even look like it was that much damage espicially since i have the wings west body kit in the garage waiting to get put on anyways they said it will take around $1,500 to fix it and another $1,500 to put on the body kit and paint the car, thats $3,000, thats how much I paid for the car. Well anyways I am very very upset and now I have to figure out what i should do? Invest another 3000k in it or use the motor and all the other parts in another crx, del sol, or some other car? Any opinions??

Ya'll guys have been great help and I appreciate all the info ya'll have given me.

HOLLA!

 

if it were me i'd fix it.

<--- btw i'm near you. and i'm parting out a crx and a hatch. if you need anything.

 

I'm guessing you need money for another car, looking to get rid of the body kit?

 

I'm not sure if I am going to get rid of anything just yet. I am going to wait till I figure out exactly what I am going to do. But I will let you know soon.

 

fix the damage, put the body kit on yourself (its easy, trust me) and then paint it at maaco for $400.

your little crx will look like this and you'll be happy.

 

That red CRX is friggin clean as hell! Just outta curiosity, what kind of springs are u using, and how many inches does it lower?

 

All I see is a red X!

 

I want those mags! what are they from? a GSR?

 

I'd say hook up with mobrep, sounds like he's got the parts you need, and I'm sure it would cost a lot less than $1500. the 1500 to install the ww kit and paint doesn't really count in the repair costs, that's a mod.

 

first of all, those prices are high
secondly, if they were correct, $3000 is nothing. i just put $6k into the drivetrain in my 89si (that i only paid $2k) for and the outside still looks like sin and i know there are a lot more people on here that have put way more into their crx's.
you can either:
1) fix it back and put the kit on it like you say and if it will look like MikePalm's car which gets in my book, then hell yea!!
or
2) my suggestion, get the sir front end coversion from http://www.hondamotorsonline.com/shop/ for $600+shipping and put a decent paint job on the whole car. there are not many 4g civics in TN with the sir coversions and i have yet to see any here in the Knoxville area.

 

94-95 gsr rims
crappy sprint springs

 

I am so jealous of your CRX.

What kind of body kit are you using?

Is that the stock Honda Red color?

 

Hey Mike.... Do you have updated pics of your CRX you want me to put on my site?

CRX Forum

 

no updated pics on that car...i will have pictures of my other crx in a while though.

its stock rio red color to the guy who wanted to know.

 

Damn, I didn't know Rio Red was so orangey... I thought my paint was just faded.

 

Poor car!

 

Maaco..... .....Not bad at all for a Maaco job....How much did it cost you?

 

probably $400 like he stated

 

ultra urathane $450
integrated clearcoat $100

i see deals all the time now for that package for 400.

 

ultraurathane is a great package. Got it on my old civic, looked like it came from the factory. NO orange peel and smooth as a babys butt.

 

Apparently I can't read....Thanks for the help.......too much makes you blind.

 

man thats a clean car. what body kit is that? i like it a lot!

 

Thats the Wings West kit...
