just bought a 1996 Honda del sol 86k miles red, stock everything b16a2 black interior
what are some of my options with this car, I love it so much, I just don't know what I can do with it! I'm going to either have it have an euro look, Jdm look, a little of both, or light mods. it is the 96 version with the foglight delete bumper, so thats cool, but there looks to be foglight spots on the bumer is this true? also where can I look for parts for my car, any website suggestions? I cant hardly find anything anywhere! especially jdm parts. Its so hard! Anyways, thanks for reading, and thanks for the help everyone!
well id look at passwordjdm.com, jdmshit.com for some JDM lips and stuff. also look at street styler.com for some performance and appearance. i buy alot of stuff through summitracing.com for my motor.
welcome to H-T. nice find, i have a 93 del sol, i am actualy in the garage working on my B18. i would go with the JDM look, but first a Drop
Suspension should be your first project, get the Energy Suspension kit all but the Rear Trailing arm bushings, get some full coilover (K-Sport or Omni Power) and some bars and Braces, the sol chassis is a little sketchy w/o bracing.
wow really? it feels quite sturdy to me lol....I was also thinking of getting different lower control arms and a sway bar down there for looks. recommendations?
also side note, someone ripped my antenna off, broke the part where it comes out...how do I go about fixing that?

if you want to really be blinging, get function 7 rear LCAs, an ASR kit and a 23mm rear swaybar.
as for the antenna problem you can get an "antenna delete plug" for about 10 bucks and looks much cleaner IMO.
for mods as suggested already go suspension first, it makes the biggest difference without sacrificing OEM engine reliability.
there were OEM lower fogs for our 96-97 bumpers but they were discontinued about a year ago and are now virtually impossible to find in good shape AND for a decent price(saw a set for sale a few months back that went for nearly 500 bucks about double the new retail price when they were still available....and that didn't include any wiring, just the lights and a switch) there have however been rumors of 96-98 EK fogs fitting as well as one generation accord fogs, but I haven't tried either.
you should check out the del sol thread in the appearance/cosmetic forum once you're no longer a trial user as well as join up on sol specific sites.

holy crap! thats crazy about the foglights...damn! that just makes me go...holy crap! lol like I already did. lol
Also, where can I find those LCAs and that sway bar?
yeah, well I guess suspension is a good idea, though my car is already really low. can anyone recommend me a good set of lowering springs? Tein S-Techs ?

s techs are good....they'll give you a 2-3 finger wheel gap which is perfect for DD IMO.
As for a place to find good parts the marketplace here as well as ebay have great deals on name brand parts (just avoid posts that say things like "skunk2 style" or any other name brand followed by style on ebay as they are typically taiwanewse pieces of ****.) also tom @ camp1320.com can really hook it up when he wants too(sometimes cheaper than ebay).

for wheels/suspension check places like ebay(just stick with TRUE brand name products and you'll be fine) also here on the marketplace(although do to a recent climb in scams/thefts I'd only agree to meet someone in person on neutral ground.
as for online shops
tom @ camp1320.com can really hook it up for just about anything and everything
hmototorsonline.com has some good deals on ITR rear swaybars and strutbars...they could probally get you some jdm rims too
I've had good experiences with inlinefour.com also (although they are pretty expensive)
password jdm is an ok shop but is al;so pretty expensive and some of their **** is pretty sketchy...like the 225 3pt. front brace that flexes like a little bitch
(basically they carry namebrand products or awhile then make their own replicas and charge the same price if not more for something far inferior in quality)
