i have a 86 dx (crx)and funkin hate the 2 tone body panel is there a way 2 get si sides to work on dx any info will help:(

[CRXfanatic]

Just get the Si parts and put them on. They mount up just like the DX parts...

But you may want to just color match the lower part of the car to the top.

2-tone good you bad

i'm undecide whether i like 2 tone or solid better, but i definately like the si's body moulding better and may switch to that as well. BTW check out mine at http://kaotik_cuztum...tunerz/id2.html and please excuse the poor quality shots. updated pics are on the way with my vinyl job

just switch the gray to black... it looks nice

ohh and if you have the dx look and you switch bumpers you will notice that the bumpers aren't as stubby. i don't like it personaly... the dx bumpers look more agressive and i think with a bigger lip it could look like a kit.. i cut out my grill, looks pretty good except for that green rad back there. lol

heres jakobs which is black now. this pick doesn't do it justace. looks like a kit. i think he is putting that garden trim on as a lip. not sure.. i am sure he will mention something

hey vervepipes your from dartmouth?? i live in shelburne bout 2 1/2 hrs away good to see another maritimer on here!! I have a dx and i cut the front grill out and put in some aluminum mesh and put on the lower lip and everyone thinks that i got a kit on it, it looks really cool imo , i like the si rocker panel covers better tho they got that little flare to them. I think the si fenders are thinner as well arent they? correct me if im wrong but my dads car looks way thinner then mine as in hieght wise but it sits higher then mine does??? whatever u do itll look good just cuase its a 1st gen lol good luck

Eastern Passage actually, 5 min from dartmouth. i have the mesh in the grill as well as covering my bumper lights. i have the black lip and made "eyebrows" for the headlights(vinyl is a wonderful thing). updated pics to come tonight

On my other DX I switched to Si Side Skirts and rear bumper, but left the front DX bumper (it looks better), I cut out the grill and added some mesh, then color coded everything including the lip and it looks like a kit

[C_piddy]

i actualy compaired the si bumpers to the dx and they are longer buy about 1 and a half inches. and they also make the car sit lower and the lip is bigger too. i will post pics later tonight. same with the rear and if it weren't for the bump in the trim i would definatly put that bumper on the back. you'll se when i post the pics...
