Pics of my new gear...humor me
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 - General Dzur EDIT: ok nevermind. Strike9 is won't work. I'll upload them manually. |

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

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. - Dzur |

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. - Dzur |

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. Mugen.

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. |

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.
