A visit from the enemy!
I'm planning on putting a new bodykit on my '89 CRX so I've started fixing some rust spots(small ones, thank god). Then I remembered something I saw in a thread somewhere, can't find the thread now. What I recalled was that the CRX is notorious for the rear bumper beam rusting out...so I checked mine. :eek3: :upset: My first thought was "OH F*CK!!!". The top part of the beam where the bumper attaches is half eaten away by rust :angry: . Not good, not . Who else has had to deal with this, and what did you do to remedy the situation? I'm afraid to call the dealer to find out how much a new rear bumper beam costs :barf: . Any help and recommendations are appreciated.

I'm guessing that these may be common rust spots:dunno:. I only say this because I've discovered my car has the original "barbados yellow" paint and no major bodywork has been done to disturb it...only the clearcoat has been peeling off for some time now.

i just replaced mine about 3 months ago, i bought mine from a junkyard in southern CA (sountern states = no salt = no/not as much rust) for about 65ish i think. I had rust on the pannel and on the moon roof
