i found a set of the mouldings today that lead up the back window of a sol... should i snag them and put them on the car.. or is that a little overdoing it? im thinking im gonna start a thread in the "extensive projects" section. and i also got some shop space finally... talked to my boss and he's letting me build in the bay, instead of at home... so close... yet still so very far away.

if you make the back window flat like on a del sol, the rear sail panels might look cool

idk if that's too much work though. if you're not going to do that, i'd skip the sail panels

stock del sol fog lights are fugly and suck
get these, i love them (they're the same fitment). you'll just need the foglight mounting frames/screws/springs from the junkyard and the bulb harnesses

for bulbs i recommend Raybrig 1157 bulbs. (i think it's 1157...) They're pretty much a pure white color, as opposed to the goldish color any other bulbs you'll find are.

oh, btw i like those lights. ive been browsing for some sol headlights too, and i think i came across a pair of some smoked projector lights. i figure keep with the black theme. and ill have pictures up of the 4door in the next couple of days, once i can push it out of the garage... the engine is kinda f***** right now.

they don't make projector headlights for del sols.
i have seen one set in my life, not even in person, but it was a custom retrofit.
