Whats different 88-89 and 90-91 CRX
I have an 88 CRX si. Bought it for 500. It has been rear ended. The bars that hold the bumper on are bent. Went to junkyard found 90 CRX with perferc back half. Bumper and brackets for 125. Then he tells me that it wont work on an 88. I say "Why?" He says, "I dont know but thats what it tells me".
So I ask a buddy of mine who has a 91 and he says that the body kits say if you have a 90 or 91 some modification for the back may be necessary. Okay what is different? Im thinking of getting the bumper anyway and say to hell with it. But if anyone knows I would sure appreciate it. |

I wouldn't have a clue about the rear brackets that hold on the bumper...just take them off the other CRX and mod them on....make them fit...wow...that's a hard one....its probably just the way they set up the car...and made things on the car thats why the brackets don't fit.
It's kind of like the going from 5th to 6th to 4th gen civic..they all different...and have different qualities.....different frame structures..shit like that.

They are both 2nd Gen CRXs
Thats why I was lost. 87 and down was first gen and 88 to 91 were second gen. The only thing that looked different was the mudflaps on the 90...
I found a guy parting out a first gen and may get the brackets from him. |

Salvage Yard
The only crappy thing is that the junkyard wont sell me just the brackets. Its the whole bumper deal. So I really dont want to buy the whole bumper especially if I cant use it.

all i know is that when you want to buy shocks for the crx it only fits
1988 crx only 1989-91 crx only the shocks are completely different in part #'s....... but i don't know why the backhalf won't fit ... thought this might help..  |

Was the other car a DX SI or HF? That can make a difference to...Cause the SI were the heaviest models made they seem to have differnt parts tan the HF or DX .......And as far as shocks go you can use integra rear shocks they will give you a little more travel than the crx shocks....You dont need to modifie them that much either it is rather simple....
