1996 is .32. I'm pretty sure (80% sure) the 96 and 98 had the same body type.

Correct. 1996-1999 were the same body style...maybe some minimal changes.

OK, how about the del Sol? I have never been able to find a CD or Frontal area, anywhere. Usually it's just N/A.

I'll work on the del slow. Check your dealer sales brochure, my original CRX brocure says .29 for me,

.378 for DEL SOLS!!! In response to dan's comment about the truth of this I wonder but not heavily because many civics are like .35 and I think the back of the del sol looks like it wouldn't be too good for air flow but I dunno. It seems like he has a run down of factory specs so I don't think he would've randomly made one up.

This is the same link I posted earlier, and it's for the HB.

Dude, pay some respect for some peoples' cars on here -- there happen to be some owners of that model on here.

Yes, I found that earlier but I have a hard time believing it. I can't find anything else to coroborate the .378. Perhaps someone else can find another source for that?
