OEM Si lip

If you must go with something aftermarket look into a JDP CF lip those are nice IMO.

JDMcarboy is the guy that everyone hates for not sending things, scamming people, and having lips and seats and **** not fit, right?

i dont think the ek-(96-00 civic) front will look good AT ALL on a del sol, if you must do a conversion i would say go with an eg front end-(92-95 civic)

well im getting the si conversion dirt cheap, so i think ill stick with that since it will be cheaper for me.. my body shop guy already has the parts at his shop, i thought about the eg conversion but for him to order the parts it would cost me more.. im just a cheap bastard..

i dont get why ppl dont like the si front on a del sol. its his car. besides, that conversion looks real nice if done right. my boy had a 93 sol with 2000 si front, custom cf lip, oem fogs, s2000 tail lights, m3 deck lid, car was painted in si blue. some might think thats rice but i'm the type that all about the stock/jdm/sleeper look and that car didn't look bad at all imo. i say go for it and get a mugen or spoon cf lip or oem si.

It looks like ***.



Maybe if you do something to the rear to balance out the "heavy" front look, it might look ok.

I think it had a FEELS style front bumper (not with this prelude/sol combo though).
