We started this list with an early-aughts cover car, but here we have something different: The cars of the actual, real-life early aughts. Double-drilled wheels, clear turn signals, dark tint, Altezza tails, and a steering wheel that looks part Momo and part Logitech. The seat bolsters are shot, sure, but the air freshener matches the paint — that’s gotta count for something, right?
This CRX clearly didn’t get the $60,000 investment that the Chrysler did, yet I posit that this is no less of a build. Do you think imported lights are cheap? Those giant wheels, with their thin tires, still cost someone a paycheck when they were installed. This CRX has been worked on, been cared for, been personalized and modified. That’s a build.
