In it's current state, you'd be hard-pressed to sell it at all on the open market. An enthusiast will have to buy your car, and even then, I'm not convinced you'd get more than $4000. Probably closer to $3500.

The swap may push it up $1500. Didn't know it was swapped with work.

Jeff, I think I need to shoot your car before you sell it if you do. lmk.
Sad to see it go if you do sell out.

floor mats look like what dstuning used to sell before Honda came after them with a cease and desist for using their logo. its too bad because they were a great product at a great price. I had a set myself but ended up selling them. pretty much sold them at cost which is why they didn't get in much trouble when they got "caught". just made them to try and help the del sol community get a quality product

That is why I'm so curious as to where he got them. I like the dstuning mats, but I want the logo on them.

from what I was told you need to modify the b-pipe slightly and maybe change some hangers to get the right exit angle you want. I have been wanting to put mine on recently lol

I bought them from this eBay listing. For $20 extra the guy will do the del Sol embroidery.

I used to have some DStuning mats but I got them after they stopped using the del Sol logo. I've been wanting some with the logo for a while now, finally got around to ordering some.

Hood looks good. Always loved that style. makes me think of the old mid engine GT cars

Do you still have your stock c/f hood?

Putting coilovers on isnt hard at all. Biggest problem is getting the bolts loose that hold the lower control arms on. Otherwise it just takes a little time and is very rewarding.

Take you're time do it right and make sure you torque everything down when you're done.
Get an allignment and then post pics.

Oh yeah for sure my buddy is an alignment tech at a local tire/mechanic shop... So he's gonna help me do it all. I just have never messed with the suspension other than swapping out CV axles. I am buying the rims and tires used.. The front tires have a little camber wear on them. So I will be putting on a camber sometime before winter strikes utah again. Cause once it does hit, stock height for me, plus the acura rims and tires, and ill buy new tires for next summer.
