It was too hot outside to remove them so i just left them on there (the pic is my grill block, but the entire car was covered with them)

aero vs access to bolts

The donkey CRX, why not use the vinyl in front?

My bolts are covered with the coroplast, but I'm thinking to drill holes for access.

We had these left over from when the 88 CRX had steel wheels. They had a ring of spring steel "claws" on the back to fit the steel wheel like a regular hub cap. I grabbed the spring steel part with vice grips and was able to separate the claw part off by hitting the vise grips with a mallet. I know we got them on line but can't remember were. Search for "moon eyes" wheel covers.

I used the moon discs on the front mainly because I already had them and they "stuck out" to fill more of the void in the middle of the wheel. I may be second guessing that decision if I ever need to fix a flat on one of the front tires

Xntra was able to buy the moon discs without the spring steel part. I assume they would also be cheaper that way.

Sorry I can't remember where we got them.

Way cool aero

That is one slippery CRX. The only thing I can think of to suggest is adding A pillar turning vanes. For an example, check out the Shelby Daytona Coupe.
