Default My Sol

Hi I got a 1995 del sol vtec and I bought it from a honda dealer it is already somewhat modded and drives very well. The thing is the car already has everything i was going to do if i got a stock sol but now I am getting bored what do you guys suggest I should do to my car ? So far its lowered with koni yellows, spoon or rota rims (need to check tomorrow if its spoon or not), aem sri (i got this myself), aem pulleys, b16a3 motor,short shifter, mugen or replica twin loop exhaust and some other small parts. Heres some pic's

front= http://i75.photobucket.com/alb...1.jpg
side= http://i75.photobucket.com/alb...0.jpg
back= http://i75.photobucket.com/alb...2.jpg

Sorry for the shitty pics. Also how can I tell if I have real spoon rims ?

They look like rotas, but inside of wheel will have a desmond sticker or a stamp that says russia if they are real sw388's.

Probably rotas, I hope noone would be dumb enough to trade a car in with spoon wheels.

This was not a trade in.. there brokers or whatever found it (its hard to get a del sol in my area specially the vtec model. Any ideas what I should do to make it look better ? I don't want to lower it more since it already scrapes. For some reason my car does not look low in the pic will take better pics soon

I'll gladly take a baseball bat to that oem spoiler if you'd like

Not a bad jumping off point to begin negotiations

Ah i'm probably the worst person to advise on cosmetic things, I personally rock my Eg ex/si front lip hard. I like it; its simple, fits well and cost me a cake, literally, to get it.

Hmmm, I added amber corners to mine but I'm not sure how they'd look on that color.
Here's mine btw:

You should post up in the Del Sol thread. A new sol owner is instantly a friend of anyone in there

Might help you dig up a little inspiration.

You have a nice del sol man. What trim is that ? I posted in that thread awhile ago they liked it how it is now lol. Where did you buy that lip I want it !!! Theres really nothing to do to a del sol (cosmetic) besides a front lip and keeping it clean looking. Funny thing is when I was on my way to go look at this 93 si coupe i drove past this honda dealer and the del sol i have now caught my eye and I fell in love with it haha got it the next day

EDIT: should I stick with black rims or get like silver ones ? A lot of people tell me black rims suite my car tho

Are they flat black right now? With gloss black, any dirt on your tire will show like crazy! So be prepared to bust out the Tire Shine...but that bein said, I think gloss would look better than flat, IMHO
