    I have a better idea... Don't do ANY front conversion. Honda created the EM1 and EG front for those cars, not a Del Sol. Besides that, I'm interrested in seeing more of your build.

    i agree but if he was going to do one then the em1 looks better. it fits the body of a del sol better because the eg front is too small. all in all i would leave it stock.

    Eh, if you were doing a teg, or ek front end I would flame you, but the EG front end looks alright...not my taste, but it looks like it could've been something factory, maybe you can pull it out and make it look alright. G' luck...you really need it

    Should turn out pretty good, but if you want it to look really clean then match the engine bay color to the exterior. I don't know why people think green goes with everything

    Im reserving judgement til i see paint on it, or atleast a color choice, bcuz that can really turn a car around. But as for now I like the color on that valve cover
