It looks like a variation of the "V-Style" kit which, of the ones I've seen, the rear looks like the Wings West RS or Mugen.
Import Adrenelin (http://www.importadrenelin.com/) has pictures of the V-Style kit.
Here's the URL:
http://www.importadrenelin.com/xhtml/?product_info;1042844001&cPath=1_2_48_63&products_id=106
If the URL doesn't work, then you'll have to navigate your way:
Select Areo Styling, Body Kits, Honda, 88-91 CRX and select the V-Style kit.
Import Adrenelin also has the V-Style kit listed for $525.00 - $25.00 less than the other one. You should see if they are willing to match prices...
My opinion of the V-Style kit is that I sort of like it. It's a bit *wild* up front but not as bad as some that I've seen. The V-Style kit is also one of the older styles that came out from Japan.
But for myself, I still like my Wings West RS ... I still consider it timeless and classic. :^)
I guess I have to ask, "what is it that you're looking to accomplish?". In other words, are you looking for something really wild and radical (aka "Rice", which is not a bad thing... remember, it's still your car and the only one that needs to be happy with it is you...), something sort of wild or something really subtle (i.e. front bumper/spoiler only).
If you're looking for functionality typically you don't get it with a body kit. If anything, it reduces it. I've been to a few AutoX's where I've seen many body kits cracked and trashed from hitting cones. Some tracks won't even allow you on if any part of your kit is fiberglass. Since I did my kit, I've only AutoX twice and ran OpenTrack once.
There are Urethane kits but they tend to cost more than the fiberglass and you can't really customize them as easily as you can with fiberglass (which is what most people want to be able to do - customize their kits or at least have the option). I was going to order the Urethane version of my Wings West RS kit back in 1998 but they were on back order and I wasn't sure how well paint would bond to the surface.
Basically, kits are for "show". Anyone who tells you different is kidding themselves (or have been watching the Fast and the Furious too many times and have taken that as to be "reality"). That's my opinion, anyway, others will most likely differ.
Like I said, I've never made it a secret that I did my kit for looks only. Same with the wheels and tires I have. I have never said that they increased my performance. I did them to add to the over all look of my car. For racing application, I use my 14 inch PanaSport or I borrow my brother's 15 inch PanaSport wheels. The only "body kit" piece on my car that would be considered to add performance would be my Carbon Fiber hood in that it reduces weight up front and is stronger than the common fiberglass hoods. But even then, my Carbon Fiber hood was purchased to enhance and complete the look of my car.
Ok.. stepping off my grumpy-old-man virtual cyber soap box... :^P
