well IMO it`s not worth re-painting a 15+ years old car unless you plant on keeping it forever, unless it is one of those 200 bucks one day paint job

don't flate black it. If the rear bumper really sucks that bad, then just flat black the bumper, not the entire car. And while you are doing that, paint the moldings black.

I wouldn't flat black it. That color doesn't look bad. 200% improvement though, keep it up.

I can see someone against bodykits neglecting to buy a kit for his car, But to buy a car with kits on, and go to a FURTHER length by locating and re-installing stock parts...Seems a bit redundant. Nice job under the hood tho. Only thing that sucks is that the manifold was already half-way dead when u pulled it out of the box.

Maybe he got the CRX for a really good deal. I know if I found a CRX in good condition for like $500, but it had a gay body kit, I would buy it and de-rice it.

I actually might be getting a cheap CRX too. I found one for sale for $300! Supposedly the body is in decent shape and the interior is pretty good. It runs, but has a leaky radiator, noisey muffler, and shifting from 2nd to 3rd requires you to rev to 6k rpms for some reason lol. That's all ---- I can fix easy though. A nice set of HX, LS, or SI wheels and some flat black paint and I will have a nice daily driver!

I like your sig on NWSR too....

"1989 CRX
Pearl blue w/flake
gay body kit
and rollin on LS webs

Haha gay body kit.

Car looks awesome now! I'd keep that colour for sure, it looks beautiful on the CRX.
