Thanks alot bro, I'm really trying to point the car in a direction where I would like it to go, and it's a slow process for me, but that's ok, lol. Always liked your RSX man

Thanks alot man! There's CRXs out there that destroy mine in every aspect, but I'm trying my best with limited funds, haha.

That is a lie!! The car is flawless!!! It is the cleanest Honda I have ever seen hands down

The new wheels really set the car off...Great work bro

Thanks again for the Moldings and Lights!!!

I haven't had much free time lately, but just slowly getting a few little things done. My sunroof panel had some bubbles coming back, so I picked up a brand new panel from Honda for once in my life, along with the molding.



Here's a pic of the old panel, so you can see the cancer, haha


The new panel


Side by side, the paint match came out really good (looks really good in person)


The new panel is already on the car, just lagging with pics. Yesterday I installed some J's Racing exhaust bushings, (I never realized how old & crappy my stock ones were). Also, took the Regamasters off the CRX, threw them in the beater, and had them balanced. They were missing a few weights, so it was needed! The car feels solid with the little upgrades yesterday.

So next on the list, think I'm going to get my door panels reupholstered. I'm dropping off the CRX with my painter next Wednesday because I have a minor rust bubble coming back on the passenger side rear quarter, and getting a fresh wet sand/buff! These little things have been holding me back from showing the car, so just trying to get this stuff taken care of. =)

I should have replaced the sunroof panel when the car was painted back in April '08. I knew the panel had some issues, but didn't have the funds. When I had the car sprayed, there was no signs of cancer in the rear quarters, and now it's showing its ugly face at me

My sunroof panel is beginning to have the same bubble cancer. So you bought that panel in silver from Honda?

Haha, nope bought it new from Honda, and it comes in this really nice matte black finish. Then you'll have to have it painted!

Thanks for the comments guys! Yo Dani! Haven't had an update in awhile, been working alot. There was a local meet 2 weeks ago that I wanted to attend, so this is everything that went down last month.. =)

Here's a quick run down, inside and outside:

-rear 1/4 panel, rust repair, and respray
-hood resprayed, and picked up a brand new H emblem, lol
-wet sanded/buffed the whole car (it was time)
-touched up a few things with SEM Trim Black (hood squirters, antenna plate, wiper grille, etc..)
-slapped on new 'EVO' stickers on the wheels

-new main relay, this thing was having trouble starting on hot days
-pulled out the carpet and painted it black (super budget style, ahaha)
-had the upper part of the door cards reupholstered in alcantara to look like base model ones from a European CRX. I didn't want to buy some faded ones from Europe, then deal with shipping. :crook:
-Picked up a Nardi Classic 330mm, my Mugen has been looking beat for awhile.



Here's a before of the carpet


And here's the new goods!






Here's a few pics from the meet, met up with a friend, and his buddy with a tastefully modded Fit!















Thanks for looking everyone
