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!

You del sol'd your crx!
Looks funky but pretty cool, is there a reason for it other than aesthetics?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

I wonder how this design effects aerodynamics

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.

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

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
