sticky + writeup + pics please! I am debating keeping my 87 crx HF and custom building a body kit so I can retrofit RSX heads and tails. Me and my best mate are closely watching the baily blade from bxr motors which is very close to this type of fabrication but if you would/could write up a more localized beginners approach then we just might have myself and im sure a few other members take the dive and see what kind of neat bodies we can come up with!

these guys have countless videos of them fabbing this car from the CAD to foam, skele, etc.. very neat stuff!

awww sad.gif there not, oh well

Something similar to the crx si side skirts would be nice, and in MY opinion bring the rest of the car together with the front end and the si type spoiler wink.gif

inspiration for sideskirts.. it's from opel manta, obviosly the vauxhall in the uk. fits nicely, so should be easy to asimilate, looks good and should be easy atteinable.

ive been thinking about sideskirts
im planning on using the moulds for the front bumper and the lower bumper
to make a rear bumper
the top piece will have to be designed and made
the front bumper is the right length front to rear so thats easy enough
the sideskirts ive got a few ideas which i need to get on paper
then ill see what i come up with
3Gs are fun and i still want to do a b swap
