This Honda Civic / CR-X del Sol boasts some questionable adaptations


Between 1992 and 1998, Honda manufactured the Civic / CR-X del Sol as a replacement for the CR-X. It is one of the more intriguing production models of the car manufacturer and has quite a loyal following.

A number of different trim levels have been offered in different markets. The most powerful version is equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that is 160 hp muscular, making it one of the first natural production engines with more than 100 hp per liter. This variant can also be selected with a limited sliding range to ensure that the front wheels do not scratch for traction.

As beloved as the del Sol is, the owner of one example in the United States tampered with the design of the car with some questionable modifications.

These images shared with Reddit shows that the standard taillights have been removed in favor of the infiniti aftermarket lights. The car is also equipped with a distributor, which we certainly do nothing for aerodynamics. Elsewhere, the car is equipped with a pickup truck that includes new doorways, side skirts and bumpers. It also sits on a set of not very flattering wheels.

The strange changes continue with a new hood and headlights that are similar in shape to those used by the Nissan 350Z. Given how small the del Sol is, these lights look way too big for the car and are inconsistent with the flowing shape of the roof and pillars.
