UPDATED pics and stats:
1991 Crx Si
186k on the chassis
SOHC Zc Swap
GSR shift Knob
88-89 Crx Tail lights (look better IMO)
JDM Side markers
94-95 GSR Rims Powdercoated white

Future plans, keeping it simple:
DOHC Zc swap
RsR Cat back exhaust, or Thermal Research and Developement
Body and paint work completion
Updated and upgraded Audio, no crazy sound system, just good quality sounding aftermarket 2 or 3 way speakers.
Alpine Cd/Mp3 player
Suspension upgrade
Clean and revamp the interior

This is def my long term project as it is slowly being pieced together. Not very many decent looking CRX's still around, yet alone in good shape, so this is what makes me wanna keep this car.
Had get some replacement used front end parts due to previous owner, fender, hood, lights bumper. Ended up finding a BRAND new OEM front bumper on ebay awhile back and tossed that on. At lleast the same general color.
Plan is to get the replacement 1/4 panel piece (to get rid of the rust that has started to poke thru) and get that on the car, then get the car painted one shade of black this fall.

Some different random pics taken this winter/spring '06...

Interior w/ the Ek armrest






Tried something different a few months ago, made some DIY Red/Clear tails.





Came out pretty nice, buttook them off and would like to get some JDM 88/89 tails (currently sportin the US tails). I prefer the JDM onese since the amber wraps all the way around the side, again sublte differences.

Another one of my DIY subtle mini projects:
Picked up a 1st gen(86-89) Integra Front lip from a local Salvage yard for , i think $7.00.
Wanted to try to fit it and use it for an "OEM Style" type of rear lip. So screwed it on the rear bumper and here it is. It did need to be forced to conform to the contour of the rear bumper, but nothing a little heat can't fix. It still needs to be trimmed, finished, give it a good once over with the heat gun to give it a more true fit, and i would like to mount it with some slightly larger self tapping screws, but you get the idea so far. I think it looks pretty decent and gives it a subtle change of appearance.





More recent pic with some more slight changes...

Yeah it gives it a mild, subtle styling upgrade and STILL an OEM look.
