Haha, you saw that. Yes, that is my '90 CRX Si. It's my DD. I absolutely love driving it, and gas mileage is around 36-37 around town. I had one in college, and it was the best car I ever had. So, I got another one a couple years ago.

Great Job on the build.
Gives me motivation. Just ordered the Griot polishing kit from Autogeek.

Great cars. Always wanted one but I've ridden in many of them!

LOL you would have to experience a CRX to love it. Anyone who's had one will always have s soft spot for them.
Driven one before Mike and it was fun but it's still a ricemoble.
Wow! Amazing! ! Doing my build , and frankly going to follow your footsteps, Haveone question for you. Are the pull stayed for end upper panels not an option weeks ordering New ones ? I mean if I wanted to put it back with the term and straps would I have to cut holes myself ?
You can either reuse your old ones or buy new replacements and put them on the door panels. The door panels come with no holes in the material, but perforations where you cut our the holes based on whether you want to put the upper straps back in, have power or crank windows, etc. I just chose not to put them in for now since mine are rough and really don't like them anyway.
Alright, I'm going to add to this. I finished my audio and carpeted the trunk. Check this out:
Here is the box I built:
I started the carpeting by laying down 1/2" jute padding and making that my template to cut the bottom carpet. Here is the bottom laid out in the trunk.
Here is the box carpeted:
I got in the zone and finished up without taking any more pics of the progress.
I was able to get all the supplies for around $90, but my math was wrong and I bought way too much product. I probably could have done this all for around $70. I ran the wires for the amp in the channels in the floor so they wouldn't get smashed. I used some thick headliner board for the side pieces. I was not exactly scientific with my approach on this. I just cut with the largest dimensions and cut parts down while I was mocking it up. All in all it turned out pretty decent.
