trustdestruction's Civic del Sol Si Project

lol, so here's the story behind that.
I had a Civic, an automatic base model 4-door Civic, and then I bought this. I swapped every mod on the Civic over to the Del Sol, and then I got to the exhaust and to my expectations, it was too long. I took it an exhaust shop and they cut the exhaust piping shorter and this is the best they could get it. And with the WS2 being nearly $500 there was no way I wasn't keeping it.
I plan on getting a rear lip and that should shorten the amount it sticks out to about 1-1.5 inches and it'll look a lot better.
It doesn't help that the Del Sol rear bumper seems really high up, leaving the exhaust sticking out really far.

shut up and get boost, newb

yea i mean mine took a little "gentle persuation" to get it exactly how i want it. which is centered perfectly in the indent in the bumper and in about half an inch from the back. for an ebay exhaust, it looks and sounds great

Does it say DOHC on the side of your car? I thought you were a d16z6?
The car's looking pretty slick. Now how about some xenons

Update:
I'm currently waiting on a used passenger side door lock mechanism/actuator, 2 new interior door handles ('96/'97, which means they're black instead of grey - my door panels have already been swapped to '96/'97 so these will match) from majestic Honda, and 2 used exterior door handles (my driver's side one broke, and the passenger one has broke and I rigged it to work... and i'm paying like $40 total for both, shipped, from different people). I'm getting new SOHC VTEC decals for the side (like $10 on ebay), this time in flat black, and an OEM replica rear panel "del Sol" decal in flat black also. I don't really want my car debadged, obviously, and I think the flat black decals will actually look pretty cool and add to my stealth look.
On Monday i'm opening a savings account for the turbo project and will be depositing its first funds. I plan on buying the turbo/manifold/downpipe as a combo, most likely before I buy anything else so that I can seize any opportunity immediately and since obviously a lot of the turbo parts will not be determined until I know for sure that I get a 15B. Hopefully I will get a 15B and it looks like I will since I see the greddy ones on craigslist locally a lot for good deals.
Also, I got some Meguiars interior detailer and leather cleaner/conditioner.
I also plan on getting my tint redone sometime soon... the guy is charging my only $140 to remove my old tint and replace it with 10%. I'm gonna ask him about getting a small (maybe 2") strip across the top of the windshield (my visors suck).
I guess after the turbo project is all done, which will be a while, i'll look into getting some new rims again... i'm dyin' to have some nice black 16's to complete my stealth appearance. Also, far in the future I plan on getting a Mugen Replica rear lip.
