CRX conversion???????

[87crxboi]

hey guys i currently own an 87 crx
was thinking of this kit, but im still waiting for a good buddy to show me a pic of it on an 87 ^^
i just got a question, does anyone know how much a body conversion to a 91 crx would cost?????

Hello. I also own a 86 CRX Si. It needed a new front clip. I also have a 91 crx laying around at the shop. The 86 CRX fenders extend farther back then the 91s. The radiator support is higher then the 91s. I ended up putting a diffrent front clip from another car. When Im finish ill post the pics from beginning to end.

so u only converted the front part?

[87crxboi]

also do u have any ideas of the price tag u think it would cost for entired conversion?

What do you want to convert? The whole car? In the magazine M & M(make and models) It had a 91 crx with a kit body on it. I changed the whole front. Bumper,frender,hood,and lights. Right now im trying to get it on the road. Im 80% done before it road worth. But more plans of body work is in the near future. The cost? The parts can be found cheap. Labor is a diffrent story. Time is Money. You can call around and ask body shops but the cheapest is if you do it yourself. If your in FL you can call B&B Customs at 954-921-2151. Ask for Joe tell him Mike told you to call. I plan on selling the car when Im finished. If your not in FL and you like the car. I can deliver it to you. Drive or Tow. Ill post pictures as soon as I can. I need to get a camera.

well the thing i really wanna convert is the back, u know on the 87's, it has that rubber thing
i want it to look like the 91's
and i wanted a different front hood
if thats possible?

[Miguel Gonzales]

You can remove that spoiler and use one from a non-Si model. I can pick on up for about 30 bucks or so. The only thing you can do about the hood is customizing it. Putting a 91 wont be worth the time nor money. Add a scoop,duct, or vents. I have plans for the rear end also. But not a big issue right now. Ive aslo seen a back window cover. The ones like a camero has. Let me know if you need the parts.

oh ok so ill get the newer model spoilers and customize the hood then

it cost more to make a 87 look like a 88-91 than its worth. Its better to just buy a 88-91 for to many reasons. Easier to swap engines. better suspension and ton of kits if thats what your in to. But put a b16a in a old skool Si (85-87) and that would be a fast mutha. The kits really wont fit well since the newer crx is a lot wider and the hood line is lower. If you were good with fiberglassing you could cut a bumper and fiberglass it and it should be ok. A lot of time for something thats not worht it imo
