Sounds great thanks! But what about a spoiler? Any rough estimate of what a junkyard would charge for one? I'll try to find my color if possible, i have Charcoal Granite Metallic "NH531M-3" but worst scenario i'll grab some OEM paint from Automotive Touch Up, was going to go with a blue for the whole thing but I really dig the gray color as well. If you look at the pictures, the roof needs to be sanded, then painted with oem and clear coat. Also thinking of sanding the edges of the shims on the quarter panels and bondo-ing the corners +wet sanding, unless i can find a welder to weld pieces of metal for me. Last but not least the spoiler if i get one. How much paint + clear coat would you say i may need for all that if you had to take a guess? Thanks in advanced man.

Just out of curiosity, what types of CB7 have you guys driven? (year, trim and transmission) and what is the best to drive if you had to rate every single STOCK CB7 in existence.

I think I've owned almost every possible combination.

91 SE sedan auto f22a6
91 LX (US DX) sedan manual f22a1
93 SE coupe auto f22a6
91 EX-R sedans (x3) and wagon, auto and manual, f22a6
90 LX (US DX) coupe, manual, f22a1
91 EX-R coupe, manual, f22a6


Of all those, IMO, the very best was the base model f22a1 with a manual. The autos in these cars are crap. Gutless, jerky and heavy. They really hinder the car's performance and enjoyment.

Any CB with a manual is great to drive. Free revving, wonderful smooth gearbox and good clutch feel. It's like a completely different car from the automatic.

I've ridden in an auto EX, and while it served its purpose, it just didn't seem too fun to drive. Personally, I've never driven one. Mine has a 92 Prelude manual tranny, came that way when I bought it. My friend swapped his auto for an accord manual, and I couldn't get used to the gearing, lol. I'm used to being in 5th gear by about 35mph if driving normally. However, being at about 4k in 5th gear running on the highway gets old, so I do envy those really long stock gears of your all's sometimes.

Also, just wanted to add that my friend's gearbox was WAY smoother than mine. Dunno if it's just how my transmission is made, I have absolutely no grinding when shifting as fast as possible, his was just all buttered up lol.
