im not really sure, but i remember hearing that the 89-90 fenders are different from the 90-91 fenders.... and if they are different, should i get 90-91 fenders for my 89 crx if i am planing to get the ww front bumper?

btw, this is because i got in to a car crash because a drunk driver lost control on the freeway and ruined my baby
please watch out for my crx if you are a drunk driver.
anyways isnt even 21 yet and he got arrested for DUI and his insurance is paying for my repairs

 

get 91 4dr fenders and then get JDM 1 peice headlights.

 

would that fit on my crx?!?!?!?

then would i need a different front bumper and everything else also?

 

hey bud, you forgot the "J/K ha...ha...", cause i sure hope you're kidding

that's like saying to use 1990 Ford Escort LX fenders on a mustang. uh huh, sure they'll fit...

 

ic, on the websites they all say 88-91 crx fenders.... does that mean i have to get them before i can order my corners? 88-89 ones are different from 90-91 ones right?

 

..as far as the kit is concerned, the fenders make no difference...if you want corners without screws...get 90-91 fenders.

I beg to differ... the 88-89 fenders are different than the 90-91... very subtle, but different. In 88 & 89, the side trim on the CRX was much thicker (top to bottom) than in 90-91. The difference is about 1/4 inch or so, but it is a difference that extends into the WW kit. The kit wass designed for the 90-91, so when it is installed on an 88-89, the kit will have gap at the top of it:





If you look real close at the fender in the 2nd pic, you'll see that it has the exact same gap as the rest of the car. Unfortunately, i don't think that there is much of a fix to this, other than having the kit molded in... blah...

 

Your cars gonna look sick painted

 

Sedan fenders will not fit either.

 

Whaaa? It looks sick UNpainted... hahaha..

This car won't be around long enough to paint it though But thanks for the compliment!

Hey ComposiMo what bumper lights are you using? Ones from a 90-91 or 88-89? I know only one or the other fits just not sure which ones?

90-91

 

composimo, the car looks funny without that huge i/c in the bumper.... hows hte tranny situation coming along????

 

I know, doesn't it? LoL... the tranny situtation is getting on my nerves. The supplier didn't have a quaiffe in stock, so it had to be ordered. Obviously it isn't going to be here in the next couple/few days, so i'm spending some time just hooking up some stuff that i have been meaning to install... like the 2-step

I think that you just don't have an 88 and a 90 CRX sitting side-by-side to compare the differences.

You wanna come over here and fit it for me? Trust me, its fitted correctly. The bottom of the kit is where it needs to be, it is just not tall enough to cover the gaps caused by the taller original trim.

 

ok, so if i get the 90-91 fenders that means i wont have that gap by the fender, but ill have the gap on the door?

 

What is interesting, is that i know of a couple other cars that have the same issue that i do, but i have never seen that problem with any 90-91... Even the body kit that you see there on the yellow car fit perfectly on my '90... Wanna explain that? by the way, if i move the body kit up high enough to close the gap, then the door won't open. And yes, the kit is an authentic WW body kit.

As for the kit/car on their site... i can make mine look like that to with enough time spent at the body shop. I don't trust manufacturer pictures when deciding if a kit will fit right

Anyhoo, i am speaking from my own personal experience, and you are speaking from yours. I think we are both right. Is it possible that it could just be an '88 year thing, since you are speaking of an 89, and i am speaking of an 88? I have the trim laying around here somewhere, maybe i'll snap a pic of it if i can find it.

 

Its humbling to admit you're wrong, but hey, everyone has their moments.... and i was wrong. The disstance from the top of the channel to the top of the fender on both fenders is the same... But i still don't understand why the sideskirt and doorcap fit perfectly on my '90, but the exact same skirt fits like crap on my '88? Thoughts?

Whatever fenders you get, make sure they're factory honda parts, even used ones with a few dings that can be fixed. Those taiwan aftermarket ones almost always fit like crap. Not worth the 50-100 savings IMO.
