I was thinking about that a little while back but im not sure about fitment with the offset and size and whatnot... i dont know jack about wheel fitment, ive always had stock wheels on my cars. plus my cars kinda low and im going lower in the spring I dont want any rubbing issues.

bottlecaps are neato though

ive also been thinking about getting some tires for my old CRX phone dial wheels and cleaning them up real nice for something different... i dont know lol

heres the wheels i really really really really want

- Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:41 am #293149 well I ended up trading the CF hood for a decent stock hood and some cash. it only has one little ding and very slight small dent its not noticable with the nice red paint it has but I think it will be more noticable when i paint it to match the car so I'm going to break out the 30 year old body work hammers and see what I can do. pics to come :thumb:

EDIT PICS!

its not the prettiest hood ever and after noticing it didnt have holes for the honda badge, I realized its not an actual honda hood... i guess just a replacement it has some kinda sticker on the underside of it says made in Taiwan lol it also had one of the lousiest macco paintjobs ever the paint was falling off around the edges
Image
laugh or flame if u want but I like the tilted hood look.
Image
all new bolts, washers, and spacers
Image
gave it a quick sand and spray bomb to match the wheels for now
Image
the dings didnt come out perfect but its a huge grade above any hood ive seen for sale in the last year

- Mon Feb 06, 2012 4:44 am #293471 I had off work friday so I swung by a closeby junkyard to see if they had any del sol seats. guy told me they didnt have any del sols but theres a bunch of hondas I can go see if theres anything I like. on my way to the honda row there was an old chevy pickup with about a 10 inch lift and im like wow that things jacked up... and it has del sol seats in it!:woot:
someone made some rigged up seat mounts that bolted to the trucks floor boards and made them to fit the del sol seats original mounting rails. 8 bolts taken off and $30 later they were mine.
Image

they didnt mount in as easy as the internet made it sound. I used the eg seat rails but I still had to slot the mounting points to get them to bolt in. but i freaking love them they are so awesome and I love sitting down lower :thumb:

Im thinking about doing a mild "bozo" tailpipe similar to this miata has

- Mon Feb 06, 2012 5:08 am #293474 I'm running bottle caps right now, I'm sitting pretty low and I need to roll my fenders once the weather gets a bit better because when I turn sharp the tires rub, other than that I haven't had any issues. :thumb:
