Default Fresh Nighthawk Black pearl paint on my Del Sol

Well, I just picked up my Sol from getting paint done today. It had a lot of dents, a little bit of rust coming in, and the paint was in bad shape. Here's some pics from when it was fairly stock and to show the progression a little. sorry for the shitty pics in my driveway..lol. I didn't really wanna drive it to find a better place for pics. As far as wheels, as soon as I get some money for tires ill have 96 gsr "sunflowers" on there. Also, the hood gap is because I still need to put the weather seal back in there

soon after i got it




After suspension and a few other mods





After 96-97 front



It's current state. Added mugen style/ww style jdmshit lip, sidemarkers, and fresh paint.

I have about 80 bucks into that exhaust. it's stainless and mandrel bent, so it's probably gonna stay for a lil while, but I would like to get another muffler. It will be slammed once again in the spring, but if you notice the weather around here...id rather wait.

thanks for the compliment. I realize the pics are shitty, but I just wanted to snap some quickly. It's cold out and I realize I can't take great pictures, so I just snapped them fast.

The best time i have actually ran on a 1/4 mile is a 14.8. that was untuned on 7-8 psi with stock suspension and tires plus a 2.5 60 ft. As it currently sits and with a 2.1 60 ft it will run about a 13.5. If i can cut the 60 ft's i should be low, low 13's.

thanks man...Cost a little more than what the estimate was, so im broke. Come tax refund time, ill have those wheels on.

would look much better with a different exhaust and if you removed the H emblem from the front bumper. also IMO you should put the spoiler back on and get some rims.

also i liked the original bumper

but the paint looks good!

i dont have the money for wheels really. I got 96 gsr "sunflowers" and i'll put those on when i get the money for 2 more tires. I think theyll make it look pretty good.
