imo it doesnt flow too well with the body, its a bit too big for it...
youre going to need a front clip obviously... and a lot of custom fab.

i've been asking around and a few people told me i had to get a 99 radiator support and had to take both the del sol fenders and the 99 fenders and cut them in half and weld the bumper side of the 99 to the door side of the del sol fenders... is that true

For the amount of work that has to be done and the overall cost, I would either stick with what you have now or sell it and get a 99-00 Honda Civic.....As far as originality goes, it's been done before and IMO, it doesn't look very good.....But, to each their own....

looks prety hot to me.. i would just get all the fornt end prts minus the radiator support cause just having someone put it on will almost be more than the car is worth

OR better yet, why not spend the time making a clean Del Sol?

its not hard to install one, time consuming. Might be able to find some1 to do it if you strip all the other parts down only leaving the radiator support left.

You have to mold half of the later and newer fenders together so it matches up with the door right?

well....i had a '98 Civic Ex so everything was the same. MAYBE with a del sol you might have to. But I am not positive on that one. :no: :???:
99-00 front ends on a delsol makes it look like it has huge eyes lol

a buddy of mines back up boston, we did it on his del-slow....99+ radiator support, hood, and fenders, headlights. everything bolds, except the radiator support, some welding touch up....civic, integra, and del-slow all have the same measurements on its front chasis, just different on its radiator support because of headlight difference.....gl on this

i know what all i need to do it...i can do the radiator support myself... i was just wondering about the fenders because 99 doors and 94 del sol doors are different(i think) thanks for the input
