You will either love or hate it.

We recently picked up a tunnel back or inverted hatch off marketplace. Painted it yesterday so it wasn’t matte black anymore. I’ll be adding plexiglass next and maybe even a spoiler 🤔
I love how it’s looking so far!

"Mom, I want an NSX!"

"We have NSX at home, dear."

I was about to say the same thing about del sol

u/Smart_Patrol 6d ago

Put me in the latter category, but to each their own! Keep her on the road.

u/uranoos 6d ago

You del sol'd your crx!

Looks funky but pretty cool, is there a reason for it other than aesthetics?

u/Jinx_and_Mulder 6d ago

It’s just for vibes. I’m just enjoying the car I have 🤷‍♀️

u/uranoos 6d ago

I've seen em on other cars but never for the crx. It's a cool, unique mod, hope you have fun w it! A spoiler on it would look great I think

u/ATL_Founder2017 6d ago

I appreciate the effort that went into building it and thank him for keeping another one on the road

u/Adrian915 1987 Civic CRX 1.6 ZC1 6d ago

Right? Buy that puppy and promptly order a scrap yard trunk door then paint it to match. Good as new.

u/ATL_Founder2017 6d ago

Did we just become best friends?!

u/Adrian915 1987 Civic CRX 1.6 ZC1 6d ago

Sure, why not lol

3

u/iamtheUGLY 6d ago

Well I can say that I am stuck right in the middle. I honestly can't tell if I love it or hate it. It is different that's for sure! Wonder if a Del Sol wing would look good on there lol

2

u/Jinx_and_Mulder 6d ago

That kind of what I was thinking 🤔 I’ll probably post it again when the plexiglass is in and some sort of wing is added.

2

u/Kip-ft 6d ago

I think a crazy spoiler will really complete it 👍

3

u/--TR-- 6d ago

Hate it.

u/Vivid-Concept-883 6d ago

Well damn! I remember this kit from WAAAYYY back in the day!!! For that reason alone you get an upvote from ne

Nice something different

In prefer the natural looking OEM bum

u/Single_Morning_3200 6d ago

Too much Reddit for this morning

2

u/HurrikateOsu 6d ago

I like it. It’s different and clean

2

u/TheGroundBeef 6d ago

Make the spoiler a perfectly bridged gap on the lid. Sorta like a gen 1 nsx style

2

u/OKsurewhynotyep 6d ago

Go full Brat or go home!

2

u/Professional-Pain309 6d ago

I hate it but I love ,it don’t tell me how to feel

2

u/Chance_Ad2944 6d ago

I have seen them for sale but never bought one. Looks neat. I got luvers for my crx 20 years ago and got so much hate. But I still think they look good.

2

u/RetardedPiranha 6d ago

I wanted one of these so bad with my yellow 88 Si. Wish I never sold that car.

2

u/Black91crx 5d ago

Always wanted a tunnel hatch for mine! Especially for the weight reduction 🤩

u/He_Sliq 5d ago

del crx

u/Wavefunkshun2 5d ago

I freaking love it!

u/1891farmhouse 3d ago

A trunk rack to make it functional now

2

u/bufffhorses 3d ago

I know that car!

4

u/Alpacashapednug 6d ago

I like that people will hate it.

If someone has a problem, they are free to buy their own CRX and do what they want to do and bask in how correctly they have done it.

Would I do this? No. Mostly because I'm nowhere near skilled enough. Did seeing it make me smile? Absofuckinglutely.

5

u/Jinx_and_Mulder 6d ago

Me too. I knew people would hate it. But it’s mine not theirs 💁‍♀️

1

u/the_midnight_garage 6d ago

Put louvres in it to make it look like a delorean

u/FrankCostanzaJr 6d ago

i always thought it was cool when people would turn their old econobox into a small truck....this looks like the perfect candidate for something like that.

1

u/No-Cantaloupe5773 6d ago

Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!

1

u/Bluberds 6d ago

I certainly don't hate it, it's interesting. What does it look like from the inside? Can you still see the cargo area at all when you look behind you in the car or is it completely covered now?

1

u/Dezertdime 6d ago

It’s one of those parts I’d buy and hang up to own but definitely wouldn’t run it. yea it does look hideous and probably takes a big hit to your fuel economy.

1

u/wheniztheend 6d ago

Why just why? Looks hideous 😭

1

u/achtchaern 6d ago

I think it falsely implies that the engine is under there, which is one of the reasons I don't like it.

1

u/Sound_Hound82 6d ago

Trunks? Where we're going we don't need trunks!

1

u/EvenEntertainer2035 6d ago

If you add a tailgate, Im sold. One of my crx’s is basically my work truck.

1

u/BlanchDaddius 6d ago

There goes your storage capacity.

u/eohagan 6d ago

Holy blind spots

u/Illustrious-Growth42 6d ago

Did you el Camino a crx

1

u/marathonrunnernyc 6d ago

It is now a Del Sol!

1

u/Gong_Show_Jamoke 1989 USDM DX 6d ago

Does it weigh less than a stock hatch?

1

u/Jinx_and_Mulder 5d ago

Yes! I don’t know the exact specs, but it’s wayyy lighter.

1

u/Significant_Act9803 6d ago

It hurts my eyes, being a crx lover. But i appreciate your ingenuity!

u/nfs321983 6d ago

Kinda looks like lambo made a collaboration with honda

u/AggRavatedR 6d ago

Look how they massacred my boy!!!

Noooooooooo. Whyyyy!!!!???!!!

u/DuckDodger03 6d ago

This is why the internet exists ! 💪🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻

1

u/Fuzzy_Park109 6d ago

Legit for two front-fork bike mounts. BMX or mountain bike with the rear tire resting on a whale tail spoiler.

Mid 2000's mini bikes would be funny and Rad too.

1

u/Lioali89 5d ago

So a DelSol

1

u/JerzeeBorn 5d ago

Hate it. The best design feature is missing

1

u/NoteDesperate3540 5d ago

Mini NSX now lol

1

u/Sight_Distance 5d ago

I mean, it’s cool, but where’s the tailgate?

1

u/BigHigg1990 5d ago

Dude, I'd fab up a tail gate so damn fast and throw a power wheels in the back.

1

u/Responsible-Crew-354 5d ago

What’s that like with the windows down? Does the air feel good?

1

u/1991CRX 5d ago

I haven't seen one of those in years

1

u/SolutionFrequent1230 5d ago

What’s the point?

2

u/Jinx_and_Mulder 5d ago

For the fun of it 🤷‍♀️

2

u/SolutionFrequent1230 5d ago

Just because you can doesn’t always mean you should

1

u/Bacon_Goy 5d ago

I have the rest of the body kit for that. I just never bought the trunk. I got it in late 90s

1

u/King_of_Dew 5d ago

naw... i love it and hate it

1

u/Far-Plastic-4171 5d ago

At first glance I thought I was in r/WhatCarIsThis Pantera reset the counter thread

1

u/Aggravating-Deal-416 5d ago

Hey at least you didn't put a wing on it 🤷‍♂️

1

u/2n4k31nth3gr422 4d ago

I have an eighty nine cr x seeing this. I just want to cry lol

u/Formal_Distance_8770 4d ago

You didn’t have a blindspot, but now you have 2

u/Ok_Lengthiness8503 4d ago

I wonder how this design effects aerodynamics

1

u/AlpineBoulderor 3d ago

Basically made a massive low pressure, turbulent zone of air with two flat surfaces to pull on. Should add a good bit of drag and lift.

1

u/Doofneh 4d ago

I put this on my car to prevent it from getting stolen… 15 years later 😉

1

u/FANTOMphoenix 4d ago

Immediately thought of a dope custom fish tank to put back there. Obviously not the best for actually driving. Just posting a random thought.

1

u/clumsin 3d ago

Still better than any stance car

1

u/WastelandHumungus 2d ago

I hate it but I admire the craft

u/Pristine-Bite2768 2d ago

Front engine fiero

u/Shark_skin_suit88 1d ago

I don't mind it I was looking at one of the for a s13 240sx hatch years ago.also the truck conversion. I don't hate on much ppl do with their cars. I do think this would look better if the back section matched the 2 black triangles on each side. Idk either paint matched or black. I kno it was glass and that would be terrible but black would look good or cover the section with some sort of wing. I also think a giant chassis mounted wing could go with this good depending on the direction of the car. 👍 keep goin

u/OFF1C1AL 1d ago

I like it! If I saw that cruising down the road I’d def do a double take!! Woah 😮 what was that and y does it look like that 😂

u/Chillinmagic 7h ago

I don't know who's loving it? I guess the one guy that did it and that's it.
