Seriously, your friend is a chode if he thinks that they are gilrlie cars. Please...spare me. The top os one of the best things about it. They aren't mega overplayed the way your basic Civics and Integras are. For every delSol that you see in a mag there have been dozens and dozens of Civics and Tegs. Calling a delSol a girlie car would be like saying that Jeeps are meant for tree huggers, trying to get closer to nature, or that each and every Camaro owner has a mullet. None of that is true and is rediculous. If you want to be different and stand out in a sea of civics and tegs with they typical boring bolt-ons, then the delSol is a good choice. Why do up something that has been done a million times before? As far as swaps, pretty much anything you see for a 5G Civic will also work for the delSol.
