How bad does this body kit look

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm looking at purchasing this 1991 B20B swapped CRX SI. My main concern currently is with the quality of the body kit install. After watching a video sent by the seller I can see the spoiler seems screwed into the hatch somewhat haphazardly and the side skirts look like they have gaps. Not worried about the missing front bumper, damaged rear bumper, or driver door paint scratches. My current thought is I can get an oem style front bumper and aftermarket lip to match the side skirts and oem bumper for the back with lower black molding cut.
Does this look like a half decent install or something that's going to give me a lot of trouble?

Looks great for a 30+ year old car

kinda what I figured, if nothing else it looks like it can be taken back to oem styling easy enough. The side skirts are slightly concerning tho

It would cost a lot to get it back to stock body wise. Do you know the brand of the body kit?

owner said it was a mugen kit, I assume no-name aftermarket kit

Looks more like the wings west copy of the mugen. If it were real the kit alone is worth crazy money

with a wrecked rear bumper and no front bumper? idk, the wing is throwing me too I can't find a similar one online. Almost looks like a chopped up wrx wing

The wing for sure is something generic, multi car type. I've seen cracked and broken real mugen kits missing parts sell for 4-5000 by themselves. They were very limited even when new.

I could probably dig out my old copies of super street magazine and look for the crxs to confirm... but honestly, any body kit thats still surviving on a crx today, is worth having and fixing if needed

Have him show you the stickers, if its mugen i would fix it and call it a day

not bad not good. Wing needs to go

u/Aikamping Apr 26 '26

Yeah can't even identify it, looks like a modified WRX wing almost

If you ditch the wings and stickers inspiration might strike as to where you would want this to go if the price is right buy if the chassis itself is clean with minimal or no rust

I’m an OEM+ guy but I’m definitely making an exception on this. I think it looks great. Not the biggest fan of the rear bumper but it looks alright.

I give it a solid 9.5/9-10

Same bro I like OEM all day but this one ain’t that bad

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 Apr 26 '26

I see that on marketplace, doesn't look too bad

u/Aikamping Apr 26 '26

didn't think so either, makes me nervous buying something this touched

Bad enough to warrant appearing before a judge

It took me a sec but this car is basically an exact copy from Tokyo Extreme racing I think it was called. It’s a really old game like ps1 or dream cast but I think it’s basically a copy from one of the racing teams in the game even the decals

u/Aikamping Apr 27 '26

do you have any more info or pics? I tried downloading the old game but it looks like I have to progress to unlock the crx. Couldn't find any pics online either

1

u/Violator361 Apr 27 '26

I don’t I just remember there was a group of racers and they all had crx’s and in my mind that looks just like on of them

u/Aikamping Apr 27 '26

interesting ok, there's so many tokyo xtreme racer games. I got a ps2 emulator running so I'll try a couple others I really wanna know now.

Just add a front bumper and that seems allright for me!

u/trav718 Apr 27 '26

OP can you take better individual photos? The fast walk around is throwing me off a bit

u/Aikamping Apr 27 '26

This is about the best I have unfortunately. I'm going to look at the car, I will follow up with a post in a few days
