Default Spotlight: Turbo Del Sol ("fd3st04r")

My friend Loi's new project Del Sol. He just had the car dyno'd recently, a little over 300whp with very basic tuning, already well into the 12's, just needs some more tuning, and some practice to hopefully jump into the 11's on this street car. He's not very used to turbo FF cars yet, he's been driving his RWD beasts for a while, decided to try a Honda for fun.(His black RX7 = https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=672173)
Originally wanted a hatchback, but they were tough to find, so he opted for a Del Sol. Just got it out of the body shop, sprayed WRX blue (not sure the name of the paint code), still needs to be wetsanded, and the interior is unfinished, but almost there. It looks pretty damn sweet in person...

Lip was just temporary, coming off to be replaced with an EH lip this week.

It's attached, but it's under the bumper, so it looks like it's not on there, it's too short for that bumper, so an EH lip is going on. I think it's for an EK, but he's not sure.
