A few Before and Afters.
Exhaust is put on... also installed some headlights that I've had wasting away in storage for a few years since my last 4th gen left me.
I so badly want to lower her already... but the wife would kill me... oh well, will have to wait. Before... ![]() ![]() ![]() And After... I kept the silencer on the muffler, because without it, although it sounds better, it's 10 times louder! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Very dirty... but it looked like rain all day today, so I'm not going to waste my time washing.

Re: A few Before and Afters.
Dunno, I'm not really feeling the ebay exhaust or headlights. I like the new si rims, but i recommend sticking with oem headlights.

Re: A few Before and Afters.
That exhaust looks like my custom one I had on my car... except my pipes were 2.25". Aren't yours 2.50"? I like the way it looks and don't mind the exhaust or the headlights because they're clean looking. Please don't replace the beautiful stock tail lights with leaky ugly aftermarkets. I had a silencer on my muffler but never used it because it just sounded and felt awful. I had a resonator welded in after the linkage and before the bend to go over the rear trailing arm.

Re: A few Before and Afters.
Im not liking the exhaust because of the silencer, perhaps if you paint the silencer black, it will seem like you dont have one? What size rims are those, look good. So you going to lower it with tokico blues and progress springs again? (We talked on CC, my name is Partizan there)

Re: A few Before and Afters.
I went ahead and took the silencer off last night after having my girl drive around while I listen to it outside the car, it's still not as extremely loud as I thought it was when I listened to it in the shop.
I'm thinking about painting the whole thing flat black, but I'm not sure if I want to try that yet or not. The Si rims are not new... they came with the car when I bought it, along with 3 other sets of wheels and tires.... no clue why the guy switched out the wheels instead of just getting new tires put on the Si rims... but I went ahead and put the best tires on the Si rims..... they're 14" by the way. I like the headlights... always have... the stock ones are going away to storage for a long long time, if they ever make it back on to the car (probably wont)... I would like to get some of those 'crystal' clear corners to match the headlights better. Yes, I'm going to use the same suspension set up as on my old car more than likely.... tokico HP's w/progress springs.... that's a long way off though. I'm also itching to start putting together a sound system for her too.... I love speed... but I drive long distance every day, and I like to enjoy my music on the way.... so sound system may come before suspension. Believe it or not, I've been planning what I was going to do to the sound system for years and years.... every since I had my first CRX back in Y2K.

Re: A few Before and Afters.
Wow what a minty crx. I'm not digging the silencer but the exhaust itself doesnt look too bad. The headlights are bunk though, don't dig them at all.

Re: A few Before and Afters.
off topic:
whats the deal with blanking out the licence plates? i just dont understand what i could possibly do with your plate numbers. anyways, i just noticed some of the pictures were blanked out and some were not. its lookin good though. i wouldnt mind those headlights, mine look all musky... probably because they are almost as old as i am...
