it would be ok if the fenders were actually functional, in my opinion. but because you have that huge chunk of metal between them and your engine bay, they dont do anything but add to looks. but yeah it looks good, im working on my paint/body now, just need a dent puller and im set.
oh, if you want them functional just cut a 3 inch long by 2 inch wide hole and add some black A/C duct tubing through to the engine compartment, its a bitch fabricating it onto the fender though, we used fiberglass and made a makeshift gasket to fit over the vents but it does increase airflow under the hood, but not by much(you have to be moving) but every little bit helps.
also a hood scoop helps this even more.
just my 2 cents.

needs wheels and 5liter!
just kiddin honest opinion it needs wheels i aint trying to flame just offering what you wanted also i personally would ditch the fish gills as well those look good on some rice mobiles but the CRX has very boxy and straight lines that should flow smooth not interrupted.
but on the other hand i like the clean look of an LX mustang while some other prefer GT ground effects so it is really what you want.

no, it needs an H22 swap and an LSD and some custom driveshafts. thats what it really needs. to be a well balanced car and not totally guady, it would do well w/ a B16B or something... you know from the 99ish civic Si's or even a GSR motor i guess. it would be perfect for auto-x. light, nimble and a proper balance of power to weight.
if i was gonna be biased and say retarded stuff, id say it needs to be tubeframed and have a 7M put in it... or a 4G63, a REAL 4 cylinder motor. none of this Vtec crap.
btw, you do realize thats a Crix right... not a Rex. a Rex is what i drive to work everyday, like you see in the pic.
RX= Rex
CRX=crix
WRX=wrex
