if you do a quality job on the diy paint job you could fetch 1500 to 2000 around where i live. best color to hide imperfections is silver.

1500-2000 seems good but iono what the prices are in california... Silver seems like a good color but im not sure. I see alot of good white diy paint jobs. I have alot of time since in a HS student so i should do a decent job

It all depends on how well you "restored" the car. Some people feel that putting on some Z3 fenders and Altezza style tail lights will add some value to the car. Whatever you do, please don't make it more ricer than it say it is. I'm sure with a set of nice wheels and a clean look, you will have potential buyers.

Honestly, keep it OEM for best value. Used parts are cheap and you can make it look great. Aftermarket parts very rarely add value to a Del Sol. Sell it on HT or another enthusiest forum to generate interest and attract Honda afficienados. Just my opinion of course.

dam im so pissed, i bought a pair of side skirts because i though the side skirts i had took the place of the oem ones but when i took them off, the orignal side skirts were underneath them. Just wasted some money on extra skirts.

i 4got to mention but yes everything i bought is oem except the tail lights. The original tail lights were altezzas but i redded them out b/c i didnt have money.
