I gotta agree with instructor on that one. Don't drop HIDs in there unless you plan on doing a projector retro-fit. Put some coil overs on there.

stay away from the hids, they suck anyways. keep it stock looking.
if your going to lower it then do it correctly. dont use some cheapo ebay sleeves. get a good set of full coil overs they should run you anywhere from 700 to 2500. if you cant do that then dont lower it....lol
i like clean stock vehicles. the only mod that "I" personally would do if i owned a delsol is i like the eg front end conversions and i hate the delsol front ends. but that is me and most people hate it...lol

Just lower it and focus on the motor... No HIDS. Maybe a front lip..

Boosted d would be quick in a sol, and not too expensive either. if you swap a b into it, you're more than likely going to end up wanting more power soon.
To answer the question everyone is ignoring, hid's tend to be annoying if they aren't retrofitted from a car that has them from the factory. When you drive towards someone with an hid kit, 9 times out of 10 they're going to be partially blinded, and will probably hate you. On top of that, it appears that everyone and their mother has hid's now. There's a mini-van in my town that has them....

When they say lip, they don't mean replace the bumper, just a lip that attaches to the bottom of the bumper.
