Pics of my new gear...humor me

[GeneralDzur]

Ok, here are a couple pics of the new stuff I just installed on the del Sol.

First:

1) Air intake
2) Altezza style tailights
3) New sound system (not visible in pics)
4) and finally...new spark plug wires..put those in like 10 minutes ago.


And of course, a pic of me and my awesome sister Beth. :)

Let me know if the pictures don't show. They're linked from strike9.com

EDIT: ok nevermind. Strike9 is won't work. I'll upload them manually.

Ok, here are the car pics. This is the engine bay with the green VTec symbol and the new spark plug wires I just stuck in.

Again, more pics. These are the new tailights that don't fit right.;(

nice ride. so you did figure out how to install the intake before i post the how to.

nice looking ride. plus you know my opinion on the color of the sol.

[GeneralDzur]

Thanks. Should I stick a small, tasteful wing on it?

[pdiggitydogg]

i like samba green
check out the oem wings...they fit the del sol just right imo

[GeneralDzur]

Can I get those (factory wings) factory-painted, because getting them color-matched and custom painted costs a lot.

www.spoilerdepot.com
good and cheap

[thewoahna]

yeah, stay away from those large wings, they looks like bleacher seats sittin on the back of your ride.

[IALuder]

yea spoiler depot prepaints them stock color. and unfortunatly that green is stock.

[MAXed Out]

nice looking car but not a big fan of the altezzas even tho i still have them on my teg.

[vtracer20]

sorry but those tails gotta go.....nasty lookin

[GeneralDzur]

lol...thanks for the appreciation. My dad's buddy Reggie is a huge car freak and he's helping me drill and re-fit the Altezza's. Also, thanks for the website. I'll definitly be stopping there.

Oh hey, just went to the KC auto show. It was all old custom cars (some pretty sweet ones), and about 5 imports. There was a couple of nice Civics (one turbo'd w/ NOS...don't know how he pulled that off) and a couple of nice Ludes. I'll upload some pics here once I can figure out why my camera uplink isn't working.

Polish that Cam Cover....

[thermal]

turbo:yes:

[SolPol]

I miss my Sol :no:

Definitely go OEM spoiler

[GeneralDzur]

Three things


1) I can't polish the cam cover....can I? Well, I'll try.

2) that website www.spoilerdepot.com doesn't have the OEM del Sol spoiler...rats

3) Turbo...not exactly feasible right now....too much....*gasp, choke* money.

:yes:

[pdiggitydogg]

[CD5Passion]

yeah I think that those tails are a bit too loud. Maybe just get cf lookin ones would make it look a bit better

[GeneralDzur]

Again, thanks for your help.

Tails gotta go dude.
They make your car fugly.
You should return them and then save up for your wing.

I like my wing personally for my sol.

So you guys really don't like the Altezza's? I thought they looked nice...I wanted the less-shiny charcol-backed kind, but I ordered the wrong kind off a website, and I can't return them. Maybe I'll just order some new ones.

So you all hate the taillights? I'm still looking for a wing, as that's the next upgrade. I like the OEM wing. Also, window tinting might be next. My new job pays me $500 (give or take 50 dollars) a week, so I've got money to spare. Anyway, let me know what kind of taillights you guys like, if you really hate the Altezza's...*sniff*

- Dzur

P.S. How the devil do I polish the cam cover? Someone please explain.

dude...just remember. it's your car...do what you want to do...don't let anyone pressure you into changing your car

[GeneralDzur]

Well, the thing is...I'm in between liking the Altezza's or hating them. One the one hand I think they look really cool and give the car a sharp look, but on the other hand I think they look cheap and gaudy. I'll probably just end up keeping them until I get some charcol ones installed. BTW thanks for the links guys.

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

[GeneralDzur]

Start a new thread about it so this one doesn't get off topic.
