Default NEED HELP WITH MY DEL SOL

hi there everyone new member here, i was never really a car guy seeing as my 1st car was a 91 tercel and it was a piece of **** so never cared about buying parts for it nor fixing it up but i just bought 95 del sol that was in my budget but the previous owner put a ugly *** evo body kit on it and so i wanted to go back to original so i bought an OE del sol front bumper but it seems that they swapped out the original headlights for another type and so the fenders and hood are rounded to fit those specific lights so if i wanted to go back i would have to get new fenders, lights, and hood and i dont want to spend all that money so i was just thinking i could just buy a bumper of they type of car that the headlights belong too but cant seem to find what car they are from some of my friends say they are from a prelude but if anyone here can help that would be great, also can anyone here tell me from where the rear lights are from as well i want to swap the rear bumper too

You'll need new fenders,headlights and hood as it's molded around the headlights so to say. pick n pull might have what you need at a decent price. Rip the body kit off now tho.

but the thing is i dont want to spend the time and money replacing all those parts i just want to find what car did the headlight come from so that i can find a bumper for example if they really are prelude headlights then the hood and fenders are molders to fit those headlight thus meaning the body kit bumper if for a prelude so i would just have to find a prelude bumper seeing as my car is already molded for it. But just want to know what car they are from so i can see if that models bumper will fit

I understand what you're saying but even if they are lude headlights you won't be able to make a prelude bumper,fender and hood fit.

aw man so i would HAVE to replace fenders, hood, and lights? i would say what about another body kit but they are too low for me as you can see i had to saw off most of the front bumper because pieces would chip off every time i would hit a bump i couldn't even go up my drive way

Fenders can be picked up for cheap at a salvage yard, headlights can be bought on ebay for 50 bucks and the hood same deal as the fenders. All of that would be less than buying a new body kit.

do what b swapped said. and your tail lights look like there off an accord. it seems like a lot, but its better then having it riced out to the max, and it really isn't that much money.

Ur fucked, its really hard to tell but those might be stock del sol headlights with the corners shaved off on the fenders. Looks like the hood might be stock.

Not sure why someone would ever do this to a car, looks like a pontiac sunfire

honestly i would think of selling it and getting a normal del sol. If it was a civic it would be easier but finding del sol parts in a junkyard is nearly impossible unless you get really lucky. Ive only seen a del sol twice at a junkyard and both times they were stripped clean
