As a huge fan of the Honda Del Sol chassis and having owned a couple of USDM models before, I always dreamed of getting my hands on the JDM Si-R Transtop version in Captiva Blue. Then, in December 2020, something amazing happened. I spotted my dream Del Sol for sale on the nwp4life Facebook group, and I wasted no time reaching out to the seller. Just a week later, I took a 4-hour road trip to pick up my new ride in Virginia.

Now, almost three years down the road, after a lot of TLC and some personal touches, my car is finally in a state where I can enjoy it as a weekend cruiser with my own style with many more upgrades to come.
