People here on HT are not too fond on decals and flames. So, expect to get flamed on that area. My, opinion is lose the both the stickers and the flames and your car will look OK. Just a warning...

Damn how much did it cost you to weld on a new rear quarter like that? Not only would that make the car structurally questionable, but I would think it woulda been cheaper to just buy another CRX than fix the one you wrecked.

That picture just shows that whole thing cut out, but if you look at the pic of it installed, you'll notice it was just the quarter panel that was put on, usually wrecking yards cut sections with a plasma cutter to make it easier. Also the quarter panel itself isn't connected to the unibody.

I like the plan that you've got going there. I think the color is pretty cool, don't like the stickers, flames, and motor ... but all that is going to change now! Welcome to Honda-Tech. I know personally I have learned a hell of a lot here and you'll most likely do the same. Just remember your car is YOUR car, and YOU have to live with the changes you do. Good luck in your endeavors.

That's a pretty crazy re-build there, never seen anything like that. You've got 1 1/4 CRX's now.

The appearance of the car isn't my cup of OJ, but if you didn't have the flames or stickers it'd be coo.

thats actually basic body work.
my dad does it all day, he can get 3 cars done in a day like that, then just pass the car on to the paint guys, and the car is done the next day.

normaly at my dads shop, they order the new shell from the dealer, not a cut out from the junk yard.

plus when ever a car is heavly damage, and their are frame damage, at my dads shop, they got this machine that the car sits on, and it sends electronic pulse through the car, and the computer can tell which bar is off set, etc. and the machine pulls on the frame, and strighten that ****, its great.

It's not for that. It's for the fact that is claims a mod is simply "gready"

intake, header , gready

He doesn't say its a greddy intake or exhaust, simply "gready"

Just to clear it up a bit
