Here is the deal... I am thinking of Debadging my crx completely. First... Who is the one who makes the RPR badges I lost his screen name... I am thinking of replacing the white CRX letters on the center tail with RPR white same size letters and then taking everything else Honda wise out of it and darkening the Tail lights slightly as i had with my 2nd Gen. What do you think and Help... Also does anyone cut tints for the rear windows on the 1G on the site I just want to tint the rear windows.

Also I was lucky to go to the Junk Yard one day and Found a nice clean set of Rear OEM mud flaps... Should I install them? I have had them stored for months now wondering if they will look good or not.

Well it would clean it up alot on the rear but then you have to fill in the holes i belive will be left from the badges.
As far as cutting a tint for the rear window any tint shop can do this no problem. As flat as it is you can do it yourself. Just get the tint you want and lay it over the rear glass and cut it, have a friend help you and follow the directions on the tint. Its pretty simple.

The mudflaps well that is one of those things that you install take a pic before and after and then do a poll question on. It really depends on a few factors to give a good guess.

BTW...Love the new wheels

but....

Mmmmmmmmmmm "shaved" Mmmmmmm

um,sorry jumping subjects again...

ahem....alas I digress.
oh yeah,faster AND furious..Heh Heh Heh

better to be thought the fool..
rather then to open one's mouth and confirm it

use may include risk factors these include;anal leakage,oily discharge,copious flatulence,bloating,incontinence,erectile dysfunction,body rejecting genitals,a racing or severely diminished heart rate/including death. discontinue use if health insurance ends,or patient turns blue and doctor leaves after declaring patient has died...your results may vary

I debadged the first crx that I had, and I thought it turned out pretty good. Here are a couple pics of how I set it up....

I believe there are a few more pictures in my gallery. This was my first CRX, and am now driving a different one. I have to do a shell swap before I would consider debadging again.
