No mate, removed the cheap bucket seats and replaced with Original CRX Si seats , almost impossible to find them un-ripped ($1000 AUD), removed the rear Box and replaced with original CRX EF7 JDm seat ($600 AUD) added rear spoiler very rare and hard to find ($500 AUD), Added original EF8 Foglights with complete wiring harness, mounting brackets and button, Almost impossible to find ($1000 AUD) and front lip ($150 AUD) painted the hood as it was all chipped, Replaced the door cards and Dashboard with non-faded door cards and dashboard ($700 AUD). its almost impossible to find un-faded door cards and dashboard as they are covered in a Valour/Swede kind of material which gets burnt with the Sun very easily, these door cards and dashboard came from a 95,000km driven CRX Si (which is almost unheard off). Also i replaced the steering wheel with Original CRX steering wheel and replaced the tail lights with the facelifted tail lights from a 90-91 CRX which makes heaps of difference to the look of the car ($900 for taillights and centre garnish)

Parts ordered from USA, UK, Japan and Newzealand, Shipping cost kills you
I have spent around $15,000 AUD on the car after purchasing it and by the time its registered and ready to go, i am sure it will take $3,000 AUD more. So the car will cost me around $28,000 AUD.
It is not easy to do a Resto Mod on a car like this, Genuine parts are extremely hard to find and once you find them people ask premium price for it. Just to give you one example, the Shipping cost alone, excluding parts price i paid for all the items i bought from New Zealand was $2563 AUD.
So yeah not just seat covers and Spoiler mate
