Some experiments I am doing:

Visually, they will be like this (but colour-coded)... But I will have to make some changes to fix them to the car. :)

This all started when a friend of mine with a 216 Vitesse told me that it was a shame that the Vitesse never had a proper body kit (in a MG Zx sort of way), besides the front lip on the bumper and rear spoiler on the boot.

So, I searched and I came across the TWR kit...

... Which looks so terrible. So, I searched again and found some skirts that would fit the XH shape, without looking "forced".

I also thought it was stupid that the Vitesse was fitted with a front lip which made it look like that the side profile was like "stairs" (The front is lower than the middle, and the rear is even higher than the middle).

Lookin' good!  Ride height looks good.  Did you ever figure out your torsion bar issues?  I'm running stock 19mm bars and I've been very happy with them.

Road & Track magazine: "When they get around to listing the top good-time inventions of the late 20th century, we're willing to bet that right up there with the hang gliders, ultra lights, sailboards and jet skis you'll find the Honda Civic CRX. And we're willing to bet that the CRX won't be at the bottom of the short list--particularly if the CRX in question is an Si."
