get rid of the red emblems and replace them with the oem ones.. then it will be
looks good to me man..one of the nicest del sols i have seen...who cares if the emblem is not OEM...its a freaking emblem..its not like we are talking about OEM foglights, or headlights, or taillights, door panels, and sorts of that matter..its an emblem..why pay almost 30+ for an oem badge and risk getting it stolen in a parking lot? No need to be that extreme on OEM badges.

Top 5 coolest-looking Sols that I've seen.

I'd go w/ amber sidemarkers myself, but that's just me.

What's she packin' under the hood??

I think it looks great. Good job. As for the rims, I like the look, but have you ever considered painting them to match the car? Just an idea. Only seen it done once and it looks pretty good. They were black on a black car though... not sure how the white would come out. They would be a bit harder to keep clean as well. Looks good though.

hey MacGyver:

you think that lip on the old picture of your car would fit on an eg hatch? front bumpers look the same or very similar, i was just wondering what you thought since you owned. and by the way, very nice ride

from what i could find, it appears as if carbon creations makes carbon fiber grips for guns. Are there any more carbon fiber hoods?

i think it BLOWS!!! totally destroys the image cuz the car is white and the hood is black. you need to take it off and get rid of that thing FAST.


being the generous guy that i am, i'll GIVE you my corner light AND take that nasty hood off your hands at, (read this closely), NO CHARGE WHATSOEVER!

are_sicks: acctually that is a Civic EG lip and i made it fit on the del Sol

93delsol: my buddy has another del Sol hood in stock.. give him a call at
205-661-3600 ask for Jim.. he ordered 2 one for me and one for stock.. they are special order and take 2-4 weeks to make. but he has 1 left give him a call..

95DelSolSI: its just a OEM 92-95 Civic lip I miss that lip. i sold it for 15 bucks i bought it from the dealer for like 75 bucks. check your local honda dealer.

Thanx for the compliments guys

sweet. i've been considering a different hood for a while now. i was looking for a vented hood or a plain cf hood like yours. i found the hood locks that i want for 40 bux. jdmhondaparts.com has them. i like them better than the hood pins cuz they sit flat and dont have anything projecting off the hood.
