There are photos of the front end conversion. There are photos of a million del Sol front end conversions.

Search sucks on this site, so try Google. End your search query with "site:honda-tech.com".

People ask about front end conversions on del Sols all the time. None of them are bolt on. You will have to cut off your core support and weld on a new one, then cut all the fenders in half and weld the del Sol rears to the Integra fronts. Rewire a bit (del Sols use a single 9003 bulb for a headlight, while Integras use two bulbs - a 9006 for a low beam and a 9005 for a high beam). Drill new holes for mounting. Test mount everything. Make it all fit.

Quite a lot of work for what I would describe as little return.

cage or bar?
idk of a company that "makes a cage" for your car.

for one to fit and fit properly, custom is the only way to go.

but the delsol? kinda hard to fit the rear down bars and retain the stock back window.

are you going to track your del sol? there are lighter chassis out there that are easier to make into a race car. if you really want a cage, talk to a local shop, they will give you the best estimate.

No, I meant core support. A core support and a radiator support are the same thing.

When I talked about the fenders for the front end conversion, I mean you have to cut all four fenders in half from the top to the bottom. Then take the rears front your car and weld them to the front half of the fenders from the front end you wish to convert to.

It's a lot of work and a pain in the ***.

Look in this thread for more.

That's a stock '93-'95 del Sol front bumper.

My understanding is the difference between the JDM and USDM bumpers is the sidemarkers. JDM models have no sidemarkers on the bumpers. They're on the fenders instead. The USDM has markers on the sides of the bumper.

The Mugen front bumper has a huge grille that extends to just under the bottom of the headlights. It also has slots on either side of the grille, which (can) house foglights.

well the lower foglights aren't USDM so it's definitely not a USDM stock 93-95 bumper

I think it's a JDM 93-95 stock bumper

the white one pictured doesn't have the bumper reflectors

Only difference with that white Sol is that it has the OEM foglights, which are super rare and very expensive for a set.

I think the foglights fit on any bumper. I don't see why they woulnd't. You cut holes in it.

I do believe it's JDM though.
