Make them yourself...

Remove them from your bumper, open the lenses, and inside, there is an orange piece of plastic. Pull this piece out, and re-assemble the lenses. voila! FREE clear bumper lenses.

If that doesn't work on your car, check out www.autodynamic.com, they've got 'em for decent prices...

I've tryed that before but there is no plastic sheet there....just the amber coloured plastic.
im in New Zealand so i'll have to get them imported in.
Damn it!
oh well....cheerz anyway

Hey man, I own a hatch and I say get a crx... They are lighter, have better handling and are generaly more fun to drive... If you plan on doing alot of high speed driving I would have to say hatch thoe, they tend to be more stable at high speeds.

I agree. Get a CRX. I have a hatch and love my car but sometimes I wish I had a CRX because of the x amount of weight my car has over a rex. The room is good, but only if you have kids I think. The more room, the messier it will get hahaha. Driving on the freeway, I am glad I do have my car. I wonder how hard the wind would make a rex pull, wow. Its honestly your decision. I say a rex with a nice engine swap and more upgrades.

if time were a factor then we wouldn't have a "search" function

thanks for brining that up KoRnSaQ does anybody happen to have the curb weight of all model's for the civic, sedan, and crx. we have discussed them all separatly in the past but not all together.

Here are the weights of all 89 honda crx's and civic's. If you want other year weights let me know.

crx dx-2048
crx hf-1834
crx si-2138
civic dx hatch-2088
civic standard hatch-2013
civic si hatch-2161
civic lx 4 door-2211
civic dx 4 door-2141
*All of these are for manual trans and is the curb weight*

[CRX89]

CRX gets my vote for fixing up. HB is better as a grocery getter or work car since it has a good amount of space when the seats are down. I own both a hb and crx and I think the crx is a better car performance wise..its like a 67 Fastback Mustang and the HB is like a regular boring 67 stang coupe...get what Im saying the crx has more cool factor in it.

I would have to say hatch back becaues for some reason when I drive my friends crx and I am going fast it feels like I'm going to fall of the road. But my hatch feels better at that high speed. I dunno maybe it's just me?

very interesting indeed! what is the weight of a 91 si? jer's doors are noticably heavier. i was curious if the car over all was heavier.

where did you find these numbers? i would be intrested in adding them to the site

so mr melt...care to debate those numbers? i have heard you (more than once) claim the sedan was lighter than a si....as in it has some kind of advantage. according to those numbers only the dx sedan is and by 10 pounds.

wtf? I had forgotten about this... (mdnnccivicrcr was my old s/n)

Eh well, yeah, as Melt said I did choose... and most of ya remember what happened.

Now I have a 85 RX-7 I'm trying to get rid of to fund project EVO

ROTFL....

you do realize you are posting at a place where your banner says it sucks. generally i stay away from places i consider to suck

85 rx-7, huh? my buddy had a pretty sick one back in like 95. his suspension was hooked-up. mmmmm, cruisin' PCH...the good ol' days. i dunno if i have been in any type of import with such a nice handeling since.

i probably could dig you out some old pics of how we did things almost a decade ago..."left-overs" rice

[HONDABOND]

Cool, my dx weaghs about 1900lbs now (I should have it weaghed!) and I will, as soon as its running to my specifications (Fucking water pump)... (Fucking Idle)... (Fucking oil leak)... (Fucking code13)...

I think its time to go and find a CRX HF and gut/swap tha bitch... My car is on my last fucking nervs.

Thats what I am saying. I had a 95 gran prix and it was a literal bus I always had 4 ppl with me. Now I tell them that they have to ride in the hatch with the 10's. Most decline. Some accept then regret it when I turn the bass up and the glass starts rattlin and they're head hits the roof on a bump.
