Nice choice on deciding the stock front with lip. If you're getting a Civic lip, you can get them on eBay, from a dealer, or from an online Honda parts reseller. The last one would be the best way. Try these:
www.hparts.com
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

Another thing, Since your car is a '95, it has an interior trunk release, meaning you won't be able to fit the zig-zag mats in it unless you try and forcibly stuff the drivers mat under the release assembly.

I'll probably unbolt the release then rebolt it, which means no taking out the mats for cleaning.

I have one problem I want help with: my trunk unlatches, but won't pop open. I have to turn the key and lift the trunk. Is this because the shocks are dead? After I push the trunk down some it actually pulls downward with the weight of the trunk. What can I do to fix this?

All del Sol trunks are like that. If you want yours to spring up when you pop it, then you have to put bigger springs in it. I actually plan on doing this in my car in the future.

EDIT: ...Or get a carbon fiber trunk...they're lighter than stock.

What is the point of having a trunk release in the driver side if all it does is sit there? the trunk doesn't open at all without me putting the key in and lifting up while turning the key. I know it unlatches, because I tested it, but it doesn't open an inch! I want to be able to actually use the remote trunk release.

Use the little rubber knobs to raise it up. Should pop like a charm

When you pull the latch, it may not look like anything happened, but the lid is now sitting there unlatched. Now just lift it up...no key required.

Nope, pull the latch, walk around and pull up on trunk... tight as a latched trunk because it is a latched trunk. I set the latch without pushing the trunk down then go pull the handle and hear the latch click so I know it's the trunk not popping. I'm going to go find those knobs now.

EDIT: Thanks again Bakeoff! Found the knobs and in 5 sec my trunk was popping! You are awesome!

BING! IDEA! 6-speed manual tranny from 88-91 Civic 4WD. Could it work? Del Sol: D16Z6 Civic: D16A6

This would be so friggin cool to have unless the tranny has to have the transfer case for the 4WD on it, then it would suck.

I really want to put a taller 5th gear in the car for gas milage reasons.
