hello all,

This year I sold my previous legacy wagon and picked up an s2000, after driving the s2000 for the summer I decided to pick up a bigger car for winter and to take over daily driving duties.

Its a 1999 crv 5 speed with leather and sunroof. it wasn't in too bad shape but needed a little TLC

The legacy, still miss it




Now the CRV, picked it up bone stock a couple weeks ago



Then did a full clean up of it, lowered it and painted the bumpers (always liked the SE style CRVs) and red out tail lights with smoked reverse lights, at the same time I also smoked the bumper reflectors.



And most recently, added some JDM parts, changed the grille and added the OEM rear spoiler oh and prelude wheels for winter





and a little flavour

 

what did you use to red out the tail lights? i've been debating doing this on mine

 

There's a vynil on eBay that is already precut ,,,it's like 6buks don't remember the price,,

 

yep, got it on ebay it was precut and was pretty easy to install it did need some trimming though

 

Nice

 

Link to the eBay seller? I can only find big pieces, nothing precut

 

I cant seem to find his ad any more but the sellers name is: zeeftw

and thanks fellas, I plan on doing a bit more work once it gets warm again

 

What did you use to lower it?

 

its lowered on Yonaka CRV specific Coilovers

 

looks great. I wish I had a sunroof! haha

 

Nice CR-V!

I have the same color. Looking to get Yonaka Coilovers soon! It will freshen up the ride.

How high can it go? How's the ride???

 

looks nice..

subbie looked great too

 

I had Yonaka coilovers on my DC2 and they were pretty decent for the price. Not super high end awesome, but a great value. I'm planning on a set for the 99 EX I just picked up as well.

Where did you find the JDM parts and spoiler?

 

thanks fellas,

As far as the Yonakas go, they were a great inexpensive option when I was shopping and I figure its only a daily driver so id try them out.

They can be adjusted about 4" in height, I have it set about mid way.

the ride isnt bad, its much firmer than stock but drives pretty well.

I got the window visors shipped from japan and the spoiler was a lucky find on kijiji

 

Looking good. Judging by the Legacy I can tell you'll make this CRV real dope.

For those discussing the taillights.. I did a small right up on tinting them opposed to vinyl. Cost is nearly the same.

well, despite the below 0 temps I decided I couldnt wait any longer and I threw the new summers on

specs are

17x8 +48 front
17x9 +46 rear with a 20mm spacer (was necessary to clear but maybe could have gotten away with a 10mm)

225/45/17 tires all around

 

Looks dope so clean and simple. Throw some washers on the bottom two lugs of your spare fix's that tilt and looks so much better.

 

those M-B wheels look damn good surprisingly. how narrow are the lugs since those have bolts normally?

 

Thanks for the tip about the washers! ive always hated that sagging look

The wheels are branded supernova but I got them just because they look like older Mercedes wheels, they're a mutli-piece look and just use normal lugnuts though

the plan is to lower the rear a little when its warmer out

 

Dope bro!

 

Nice V man! I really like the SE style especially out here in Arizona where every RD1 trim and bumper looks like ashy Larry

P.s Is the spoiler a usdm or jdm option only?

 

These were sold on US 1st gens also. You can find them on ebay relatively easily.

 

What's up , crv looks good! , those rims line rite up, you didn't have to do any mods to get them on? I was told they don't fit,?? Prelude rims

 

That's the prelude rims I'm asking about

 

I would also like to know if there were any issues with the prelude rims. I am quite liking the look with the prelude rims, do you uses a 205/65r15 tire?
