Re: wings west side skirts for the crx
 
Just because it is wings west doesn't mean it fits worth a ----. The drivers side sideskirt will sit really high and the door will rub on it when you open/close it (if you can open/close it without shaving the sideskirt down). The door caps will not be as long as the doors so you will have really ugly gaps. :) Any questions PM me. I just put a WW kit on the girlfriend's car this past summer. :)

I painted this and did the body work.
No I didn't order the wrong ---- either. I just wanted to figure out it mine was the only one that did this or Others have had problems. Which it sounds like the exact same problem I have with it. The side skirts come up to high and rub on the door cap. I could fix it it would just require a lot of refab on this ----. Like cutting it apart and lengthing it and I really don't want to do this. I would do it if someone paid me to but I can't pay myself.

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning
 
Only thats not my car but it does have an H22. But I bought the body kit like 3-4 years ago when I was in my "ricer days" I no longer have any of the moldings nor the bumpers. So even if I wanted to switch it all back it would cost alot of money that I don't want to do. So if I just make my car look as good as possible while being turboed I figure its a trade off.

Good for you. They fit like ---- on the car Darkelvis installed them onto. I saw first-hand the poor fitment on the driver's side.

A buddy of mine had the same kit and the fit was fine. Crxrx7, do you have any pictures showing to poor fit you're talking about on the driver side? Did you buy the kit directly from wings west or second hand? Have you tried talking to a wings west rep?

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning
 
NO I actually painted the headlights. They come off with a razor blade. The white car isn't mine. I did that for a friend and I said above.Yeah I can get a picture of the bad fitment. I haven't talked to a rep yet but I thnk that I will send and email or call them. Even though I have bought them quite a while ago it shouldn't matter. Yes I bought them through carisma autotecnik. It was new. Luckly that side was never painted. soon after I bought it I found out that you can make hondas fast and then I went and bought a Z6 instead of painting it.

i thought you said you were good at body work then you just paint the lights. if you are going for the pissed look. modify the hood because the paint tells everyone that you are a ricer and everyone should laugh at you

People need To read.
White car is not mine. I just did the body work. The picture is an example of what I can do.
I bought the crx when I was 17. I didn't know how to do body work that great back then. I am 22 now.
And yes I think the roof scoop is kinda dumb. In fact it was a pain in the ass.
Everyone is just jelouse that their car doesn't have that nice of paint. Thanks for the people that are actually coherent.

i like the body work tricks u use on ur crx before paint goes on 8)

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning
 
i like the paint on the white car. you can kinda see the orange in it on the curves. looks real nice. and hell, even though its not fast i dont think some of you realise how much work it is to paint a car. its a hell of allot harder than bolting a turbo kit up to it.

JEG 12-10-2005 02:03 PM

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning
 
Paint does look good without a doubt. And of course the roof scoop is pointless but see'in as its not you car you should slap the kid who thought itn was worth it to waste money on such a stupid and pointless mod.. But teh paint looks awesome. Good job! 8)

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning
 
The white civic is fast. H22 power. But I think that all the fiberglass and bondo I use weighs it down quite a bit. Thanks for all the coments on the paint. I will post up my paint when it gets done. Probably next saturday.

Ahhh...the Konig Holes...had a set of those, not bad looking wheels for the money. Hey, what all did you have to do for the Si sunroof? I got a 91 Crx Si that i'm taking the sunroof out of and putting into my 89 hatch...any pointers and tips? It almost looks like you cut the skin of the roof off and rewelded the Si piece on there. I think for mine i'm actually going to cut a hole in the stock roof, bend the lips around the hole, cut off the mounts and reweld the mounts and crossmember mounts into the hatch where i want them to be. That way the only hole cut in the roof is for the slider.

How did you go about attaching the WW side caps to the door?

I attached mine with 3 screws and some sort of adhesive all around but the screw heads have shaken/broken the bondo and the little hole slook stupid, what would you do?

crxrx7 12-13-2005 08:51 PM

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning NOW with bad fitment Pictures
 
Well as far as the sun roof I wouldn't do what you are going to do. It only took me a day to rip it out and put the new one in. You will spend a couple of weeks fabing up you civic roof. Just get the Si roof and drill out the spot welds and reweld in in there. You have to take out the glass and the hatch to put it in there. If you want a step by step let me know I will help you make it go real easy and pain free. Well mabey not pain free but you know what I mean. Plus there are all kinds of bolt holes and stuff on the Si roof that arn't on the DX or HF.


crxrx7 12-13-2005 08:54 PM

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning NOW with bad fitment Pictures
 
Now the side skirts should have come with double sided tape and if they didn't you got them second hand or they arn't wings west. Thats what I used and put a ---- ton of it on there. Cover all the surfaces. Should stick real well. IF you can get the green kind but I can't find anybody who sells it so I have to use the red.

Yeah, I have the sunroof out of the Crx Si already, even down to the wire intact that plugs into the back of the fuse box and runs to the switch. All i think i'm gonna do is drill out the spot welds on the mount points and re-weld them into my dx hatch where they ought to be. I can see already that i have to cut out one flimsy cross brace that ends up in the middle of the sunroof. I just figured i'd cut out the front and rear mount points too and weld them in as well. But any advice you can give me on this would be greatly appreciated. Rag tops on my old mini trucks was one thing, this is something new to me.

crxrx7 12-14-2005 10:32 PM

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning NOW with bad fitment Pictures
 
Yeah I think if you do it that way it would work but the thing is trying to get the lip for the opening to be real nice. I would almost cut out around it and put the crx lip on there. But I think the way you are doing it would be more work than its worth. I just did old body work methods that work easy and fast. I drilled out the rain gutters and under the hatch and under the glass and popped it right off. Then I stuck the new one on there and welded away.

Slo_crx1 12-15-2005 04:46 PM

Re: wings west side skirts for the crx 56k warning NOW with bad fitment Pictures
 
I would do it that way, but the only problem is that the sunroof came from a crx, an it's going into a hatchback. Big difference in roof length. ;)
