Re: i'm thinking about buying a del sol..... (sickSOLvtec)
i'm basically looking for anything right now... nothing in particular... I just want to get a feel for what there is out there... i'm not looking for body kit type stuff ( ricey stuff) I'm more or less looking for jdm things... or aftermarket jdm things.... mirrors, lip kits, spoilers, performance parts...etc.. TIA

There are JDM one piece headlights for the sol. If you search long enough you could prolly find them 300-400, but the going rate is around 600. As far as lips, most 92-95 civic lips(factory and aftermarket) will work with little to no modification. I have a 99civic Si lip on my sol right now, it bolted directly on, fit like a glove, very tight.
EDIT: For performance, just consider the del sol to be a civic. 90% of the time this will be true. It's capable of the same swaps as a civic, and the engine bays are near identical to 92-95 civics.

Re: i'm thinking about buying a del sol..... (sickSOLvtec)
The one i'm looking at has a b16a3 in it already so i'm not really worried about an engine swap but i was also just wondering what kinna parts are usable from an eg civic or at least the major parts such as the brakes, rotors, suspension, exhaust.... thanks again guys... you've been a lot of help so far....

Check out http://www.automotivetech.org. It's the official Team Sol message board home and there are some guys that have good deals on del Sol stuff.
I have the JDM rear fog lamp and license plate fillers on eBay, too.

Re: i'm thinking about buying a del sol..... (AzntaggeR)
i own a 95 del sol vtec. most parts are available for the brakes, suspension, body kits, etc..but i've had trouble finding exhausts (only greddy, tanabe, and skunk2) and power mods like turbo kits (only fmax and revhard), and NO superchargers (jackson racing won't fit if the car has ABS). you can get creative and make stuff work, but come on, it's a civic, you should be able to find anything and not have to mix and match.

getting parts for the sol isnt a problem imo. you just have to look a little longer than if you had a civic. and if you know your engine you should be able to detemine compatable parts from civic parts. Id get that b16 sol asap, i payed 5900 for a si with 120k on it.

Re: (kabaroo)
I thnk the only parts that arent the same as the civic are the shift linkage and the accual shifter (think about that when you are buying a short shifter otherwise your gonna have a very very tall and ugly shifter), exhaust (catback), and the rear disc brakes, other than that civic stuff is pretty well compatible.
