The cruise control for the Civic EX doesn't quite fit the CRX. The electric motor for the vent selection buttons gets in the way. If you switch over to the cable-operated system the Civic uses, then the Civic's CC fits just fine.
There are aftermarket CC setups that will work pretty well in a CRX as well.

If I wind up doing this it will definately come from the junkyard. I go about once a week now, rotating between junkyards..Thats the downside to buying an incomplete shell. I will say though, if I ever come across a complete JDM frontend on the cheap, I will definately roll with that for aesthetic purposes.
For anyone who reads this thread please know that buying a complete car is always gonna be better than buying a shell unless you can come up with a whole parts car for the shell.... Ive got so much time and money in this car even before the engine that I'd pay $2500 for a clean CRX with a blown engine or trans or whatever.. The small stuff really adds up..

I have a feeling he never quite got it quite finished before just giving up and buying a Fit though!

Thats a shame. If I can come up with a four door or a wagon, Ill totally do something similar with all the spare parts Ive accumulated.. Kinda wish there was more guys interested in this kind of a swap around here. Everyone around here wants to go fast in Hondas.. That just means more lean burn parts for me!! lol..
