Default First time Honda owner (added pic)

First off im glad i found this forum. I bought a 95 Del Sol and im looking to make some serious changes to it. First off i wanna shave the door handles and i wanna drop my ride. Does anyone know of any bodyshops in the orlando area, where i can get my door handles shaved and maybe get some new paint on my car? Im looking forward to learning more about my ride so thanks in advance. One more thing i saw some cheap coilovers on ebay, good or bad?

Congrats on getting the sol man, best thing to do is go through that del sol thread and look at pictures, get ideas and ask questions. We del sol people stick together since everybody makes fun of us

EDIT, just relised your in orlando, Nice to see some local owners

Listen up now:

Before you even touch the car, spend a few months on h-t. It will change your mind on all that ****. You will regret it in a few years. Nasty *** body kits and huge rims are gay. Period.

Unfortunately one thing you will learn REALLY fast is their is a lot of jerks on here. You def want to read up on the sol and go through that forum because you will change your mind about a few things if not everything.

Most importantly DO NOT listen to what everyone else tells you you need to do.
Even if we may not like it or if people make fun of it, You have to do what makes you happy and makes you excited about driving it every day

And welcome.

I have a better one. Wait a year or two till you realize that what you are wanting to do is a waste of money. Then start on your car. Most of us have been there. Watching Fast and Furious and going to Hot Import Nights lol. So believe me when I say wait instead of paying some shop to put some dumbass stuff on your car
