Non-functional 'Supra-Style' wings, 'Z3' fenders, tinted projectors, and 'Altezza' taillights will never be tasteful. If you like it, cool. But when someone calls it like they see it, don't get butt hurt...Edison.

That wing belongs on a Supra... and even then, it's a bit obnoxious.

There are other things I disagree with, but I'm glad you are having fun with it.

Keep working on it man!

That wing gets a HUGE thumbs down from me. I'll let you slide on the riced fenders and lights because finding good condition oem parts can be difficult and pricey, and keeping them for now allows you to spend $$$ on useful things. The wheels and paint look good. The engine swap is the best part. Lose the wing, and your CRX will instantly gain +12 cool-car points. OEM lights and fenders will gain another +5.

What does the interior look like?

Im pretty sure you live across the street from my girlfriends grandma and if I'm right it looks a lot better in person.

That was rather dickheadish, my hats off to you for making it look better than what it did when you got it.

Just putting shit in prospective. I think it looks bad, but I'm not gonna be a dick about it.

So people shouldn't get butt hurt if I say crooked stickers and craft store interiors are lame. Same turd, just one has nuts and one has corn.

Interior is in pretty good shape, from what I know. I've seen the car a number of times.

At least the it's getting some go fast(er) now. The swap will def be an improvement.
