Thank you for this video. I have a 1991 CRX HF and bought your decal . I followed your video and was a bit scared of wet sanding taillights never done in my life bought got amazing results. Another fact my 199I garnish looks just like the one you restored but the CRX was painted on original with a mold of CRX which made it easier to apply your decal without measuring. Hondas have been in my family since the 1977cvcc civic my grandpa's car then my Grandpa bought a new 1986 CRX I was 7 remember riding in the back as child getting car sick . Years later my Uncle had one he bought kept in garage for 12 years and rather buy a new car I restored her new thanks to your videos man long live the CRX and keep them on the road .
Awesome. Glad you’re carrying on the tradition!
I'm be honest watching sanding is boring BUT watching time lapse of your sanding work would be awesome ur a big inspiration to me man
Great timing on this vid seth, i talked to you last week on this exact thing.. caught a case of the covid so didnt order last week, will this week though.. this is my first crx jist got it a few weeks ago and man im struggling to find a few parts.. thanks for the vids you do they are priceless to me!
my week is complete .... another awesome video from @CRXseth😁😁
Thanks for all your content!!! My tails lights look absolutely amazing now!
I purchased one of your civic vtec decals and it’s perfect brother thank you, premium stuff and another great video 👍🏽👍🏽
I appreciate the business and support!
Man I CANT WAIT to see that beauty of a CRX at the classic hondas meet
The finished product looks legit AF. I guess I have another project for the list on my little car.
I love polishing plastics like that it’s so satisfying
love your content man!!
great work man!! thanks for a high quality tutorial!
Can't wait to find a Crx for myself. Been looking for one for 3 years.
fantastic job
Man you're a boss! Excellent content and work! I I'm definitely interested in purchasing some crx decals bro.
Never been very good at Filling and Sanding Cars but really want my CRX looking nice so getting on with it and I'm getting better at it as I go, your right though it's going to take ages
Please do more of these, but with other cosmetic parts, especially the drivers inside door panel headliner.
I took a razor blade and trimmed the old plastic coating off of my hatch trim. Then I covered it with some satin black vinyl. It turned out nice. I left mine on, didn't want to break the clips. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the input. I tried to scrape it off with a razor, but many parts are really stuck and haven’t deteriorated so it wasn’t going to be easy to remove that way. Too bad they don’t still sell these pieces.
Beautiful.
Very good Work 👌🏻👏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Greatings from Bremen Germany
I did this and sanded the lettering flush. All 3 pieces took a while.
Top Job on that Centre Garnish Seth, I bought a few spare and Full Light sets, That's ace idea if I fit 1.5 VTec engine in mine and want Vtec on back as UK there asking crazy money for parts now, would like to have CRX lit up though really like JDM Civic
I'm not sure about that particular glass cleaner, but often they have ammonia which can outgas under the decal or even chemicals to seal the surface which may cause it to fail prematurely.
Stick with isopropyl alcohol or a wax and grease removal product.
Can agree with you there but Ive been told by body shop painters that that Glass cleaner is the best to use to clean surfaces do it it being ammonia free and being purely water based which is a plus
Every time I watch one of your videos I have so many regrets about my car haha. Mainly the choice of getting a del sol over a CRX
Del Sols aren’t as bad as people make them out to be. :)
@@crxseth oh I love my del sol, just a bigger fan of the CRX chassis haha
Found a New favorite UA-camr lol
Woohoo!
Rear Fog light ❤️
I really wanna buy this thing once done !!
Wet! Thanks for the tip
You could hit that trim piece with plastidip while it's still on the car
Have you ever cracked open some crx headlights and refreshed the chrome?
Just saw a write up from 15 years ago using Nashua Foil Tape. Dude says it holds up
You did a great job!! On that center garnish man. I purchased one of those b.new and my crx it's same as yours-usdm. I'm wondering which type of socket you used to hook up the fog light since our harnesses did not come with the plug for the fog light. Di u get an aftermarket or oem? Please if you can tell me that would help me a lot!. Keep up the good work ,I hope one day I can meet you in person so you can see we share the same feelings for this cars..saludos!!!
I used an OEM one that was sent over from Europe.
@@crxseth .no problem, I've been looking for one but no luck.
Found my next project lol
you've been killing it lately man, hoping you get enough subs to quit your day job soon.
That’s the dream. UA-cam only makes like $300-400/month, and that’s before tax, so I’m a long way from that. I need a merchandise line. What do people buy?
@@crxseth shirts. reach out for designs.
@@civilrant4889 I've got one rough draft already, but I just don't feel like it'll go over well. It need some tweaks.
do you sell decal for Civic EX? i have a 1995 coupe that i want to repaint but the decal is no longer available from Honda. pls help!
Thank you sir!!!
Can you please could explain how to re-instal rear window trim? Mine is out and can’t install back :( also, is it possible to explain how to remove metal panel trim clips, please?
The rear quarter glasses have to be pulled to install the quarter glass trim.
@@crxseth thank you! Where i can find your CRX Vtec sticker?
@@Britess Message me on Instagram.
how would you go about removing one that has paint on it? i found one for a hatch in pull a part but it has massive splotches of matte black paint on it and i wanna try and save it
I would personally sand it off with sandpaper. And keep sanding until it’s all polished up again.
Damn,
You just used the music from my next video... (Acapulco Gold - _91nova)
I will have to redo my editing to insert another music. 😄
Haha. It’s good stuff. Keep it.
I want to do this but in a 1st gen garnish plate. Would the process be the same?
If it’s glossy plastic, yes.
You mentioned you have the rear upper molding/trim 3D print clips? Do you have them available for sale?
I bought them from a guy named Jason Hornberger.
I need new rear lights because some Idiot put break cleaner onto them and now the plastic is cracked.
But at first I need to get that engine repaired
Who printed the upper hatch trim clips for you? Do they sell them? Is the file online?
Honestly, it was a guy on Facebook in the CRX Community group. I don’t remember his name. I don’t think the file is online. I haven’t had a chance to use them yet.
Just vinyl wrap the black trim..sell the euro one.
I don't do Instagram but would like to have a CRX decal....how do I get one
Email me your request at crxseth@gmail.com
I have a center garnish for 90-91 Crx IN CA
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☺️
Can you make me a KRX decal?
I order the decals in bulk, so I only offer the ones I have shown.
why dont you just black vinyl wrap that trim piece?
Mainly because the black portion would be seen underneath since it’s chipping off. I may for a temporary measure.
To get that Black Trim off the Tailgate really needs to be off, if your careful then with screw driver you can pop it off clips while pushing tab in a bit so they don't break, My next nightmare is Tailgate, it sits to high on right side and it sticks out past rear quarter, where hinge bolts on the metal has pulled out so hinge raised, so annoying as tailgate decent condition
I have spare tailgate I've fitted temp, thats all rusted in bottom corners and edge seam but has really good top trim, it's like a full rubber coating over the metal, just a shame it has scrapes and cuts in the coating
Do you sell these decals on eBay? If not you should
Thank you. Yes, I do.
always great content !! like share and subscribe
you need to make longer videos with less edit, im really afraid of you get rid of making videos because the number of views of your videos really below what it deserves.
Those 2 Honda’s are ugly the best one you had was the 200 Honda Civic coupe that I don’t see around the silver one
when you are removing any decals or stickers i recommend heavily coating it in some goo gone and let it sit for 10 minutes then use the razor blade you will be able to get it off so much easier and wont leave any Residue, lube always helps 🫡
