Thanks! All the body kits still exist, and some are surprisingly cheap. I won't go too far with this one, but wanted to get a handful of the tasteful items I lusted after back when I had my Del Sol in high school. Period appropriate, OEM+ type stuff, nothing too over the top.
Nice wheels, no...
I’ve justified the purchase by calling them an “early 30th birthday to the Del Sol” because it was first sold on 5/2/94.
Who doesn’t want to lose some weight in their 30’s? 😂😂
And I’ve got a set of Tein’s on the way—I shopped until I found a 5 year old Reddit post that read something like...
If this is a competition for the most expensive new friend for the FL5, you just took the lead. 🤣
Edit: Didn't realize this was the OP's purchase--sensing some strong brand loyalty.
On the bright side, they actually paid for your physical title (which they don't always do), so it saved you $15+ down the line--congrats in advance on your physical plates, don't forget to check in online before you head there as it'll save you some time.
It's a thing of beauty, am I right? I've never run into a Del Sol with the trans top option, in the US you're more likely to spot a Del Sol with missing parts (door(s), hood, spoiler, etc.) versus upgrades. From what I understand, the trans top mechanics erode a fair amount of what's truly...
It's a lot less expensive to learn from someone else's mistake(s)--the FL5 is a fantastic car, but many of us around here see it as a luxury and not a necessity.
I'm sensing a lot of urgency and FOMO, and that's fair, but rarely are wise decisions made with a scarcity mindset. Take things one...
If I were in your position, I'd pass on the FL5, and look to trade my Accord toward a Civic Si or certified used Integra A-Spec + Tech with manual transmission--you'll be able to have most of the daily driving enjoyment that the FL5 provides, but at a fraction of the cost (sticker price, monthly...
Hey I didn't realize you're in Ohio! I might actually be able to help! Tags and title are two different trips in Ohio, and your missing title shouldn't stop you from getting your tags.
You'll go to the DMV, take with you your memorandum of title (you've likely received this from the dealership...
The rear wing is coming at the end of September: https://www.mugen-power.com/files/user/carparts/EN/20240412/XNRC parts lists_240418 .pdf
During the Tokyo Auto Salon, there was a YouTube video that included pricing for each of the Mugen pieces. I'm not sure where they got these prices, and I...
But if one gets the lip... is it going to look odd to not get the side sills... and if you get the side sills AND lip, will it look odd to not get the diffuser as well?
(That question is for the general group as well!)
Ugh I like this lip a lot, but I think there's about a 30% chance the car will make it up my driveway with it... maybe I just save my money? Maybe I wait for someone to install and provide measurements? 🤔
