if you're doing a tail light conversion, why not wide body the rear while you're at it. that's about the only way you are going to make the body lines correct without getting the "@$$" effect. fiberglass is easy to manipulate, even if you didn't want to wide body it, you can still use fiberglass to make it clean around the tails.

I was thinking of using fiberglass bondo around the sides to smooth out the lines. any suggestions?

Makes more sense than doing the Supra tails...at least they're form a Honda. I would NEVER do any conversions though,the CRX looks so nice just the way it is.

wicked, if you're gonna do it.... make sure you have at least an aftermarket rear bumper, and mold it to the center piece, also mold it to the quarter panels. Thats about the only thing that guy did wrong on his rex.

Also, read up on mar glass, has about 10 times the life of bondo, won't crack, it's just more expensive.
USE BONDO AS LAST AND ONLY LIGHT FILLER IF *NECESSARY*

p.s. we dont use bondo for conversions..... FYI we've completed a nissan pickup/92-95 civic front end conversion/street fyghter 2 without bondo
