It's always nice to see somebody bring a car back from the dead. I'm also wondering why your going flat black? I think flat black would look good, but that paint on it now isn't bad at all. I like the LS wheels also.

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

damn i like the color on it now. just get it resprayed. I would love to find sombody to paint my car a different color then black for cheap.

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

Id rock the CRX just like in this pic dont waste ur time doing to flat black just make it go fast :6

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

yea it just needs to be painted...theres some scratchs and a few dents thats the owner before me made... also on the rear bumper you can see some spots where the missed when they were sprying it. but when i get it repainted ill get the same color for sure. the only reason i was thinking about going flat black is b/c i was gonna do it myself but forget that. lol

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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 :y

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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. :y

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

I'd get a new manifold though, that ssac mani is too sexy for you...lol plus you'll prolly only get about 1500 miles before it cracks

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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.

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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.

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

it looks good, i like flat black though if it is done right.

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

you called it! i got the CRX for 800$

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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. ;D

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

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

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

God DAMNNNNN....You dont get CRX's in Canada for under a G unless they:
Eh) Aren't Running
B) Have a Fackload of Canada-Rust
C) Are Stolen

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

100000000000000 times better!!!

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
 

the kit made that car look like my ass and I have a very hairy ugly ass

now it looks great

Re: Project DE-RICE... almost complete... lots of pics!
