Awesome looking CR clone! Any thoughts on the tonneau cover?

If you ever get bored of the plastidipped badges could always snag some black chrome ones too! I think they still have a few sets in stock

Then it was a matter of getting all the wires tucked in and plugging the main power wire to the constant 12v fuse. But the end result was worth it...I love how it looks now.


I just did this last week.. but instead I tapped into the door switch.. took about 10 minutes lol. They turn on when I unlock the car and open the door. I didn't use a relay though. The only thing is that when I turn the dome light switch to "on" they obviously won't light up.

Great build btw!

When I have more money (don't we all?), then I might just snag the CR tonneau cover and hardtop In the meantime, I'll consider getting the actual black chrome CR badges at some point in the future. thanks!

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I went with the way JS2K intended these lights to be activated. They stay on not just when the doors are open, but they also light up exactly when the dome lights are activated (e.g. a few seconds after the car is turned off, remote lock/unlock). I guess that is what the relays are for

Some pics from my Thunderhill track event. It was fun! If it weren't for the heat (105 degrees), I think I could have done even better. Managed a 2:14.30 best time for the bypass configuration. CR suspension, CR sway bars on Direzza ZII 215/255s

Love the simplicity and cleanliness of the car. If I weren't so in love with the Voltex kit I would have built a Type S clone too

t would just be that + swift spec Rs. I currently have a set of CR suspension with Spec R springs waiting to be installed.

I think a hardtop and you're done. Don't need to do any more work on an already nice build.

I've been debating on doing that splitter as well. Sticks out a bit far on the sides for my taste, though.
